    Possible 'Recruit An Artist' Program?

    This might be a stupid idea, but perhaps hear me out?

    So i've heard that people sometimes seem to struggle with finding a good song to step due to lack of artist permission. What if there was a way to get FFR people a tad bit more motivated to go out and get artist permissions to widen the stepping options?

    Such as a 'Recruit an Artist' program... rewards / rank could follow? Here are just a few options I was thinking of:


    1) Have a button on FFR where artists can register their music to the site, for us to possibly step. (EDIT: Some strong proof must be done somehow to prove your the artist, like a screenshot of the original track / your soundcloud data page / etc)

    2) Have it similar to the recruit a friend system, where you have a counter for how many artists you recruit... perhaps a credit bonus or rank could be given after something like 25-50 recruitments?

    3) Hold a contest for it? (I'd love to start this) How many artists can we get in "x" many days... credits could be a reward also perhaps... or tokens? I dont know.



    What are your thoughts? Just curious...

    These are all great ideas, and I don't think they are stupid at all! The only problem I could see with #1 is people impersonating as specific artists, so there needs to be good verification.

    I agree with the number of permissions being a problem for FFR though. There is no incentive to get them other then to step files from that artist/label yourself.

      Wasn't there a forum for this back in the day? I forget if this forum section was where artists could submit their music for FFR.

          That brings up another point, the permissions haven't been updated in a while and they aren't categorized in any way.

            90% all the same stuff.

            It's mostly a problem of diversity.

              I disagree with this, and again, it's a matter of just finding interesting things from the permission list, which needs to be badly updated. It's hard to browse for long with the current list.

                  You are right, I don't. Most of the stuff isn't on the permissions page that we actually have permission for.

                  Yeah, I mean I know for example a bunch of artists within the "Team Pony" chat that Megamon88 got permission for hasn't been added.... perhaps really if someone takes the reins and keeps it updated somehow that would really be great.


                  Perhaps a forums page where it's listed isnt whats needed... perhaps like a searching database might be better... I dunno.

                    Btw, in case it wasn't clear, when I said 90%, it's 90% of things already in FFR, the rest being the only very original and essentially different from stuff in game. Not like 90% a whole sole genre.

                    Otherwise I agree with both things you said.
