Re: Regarding missing scores.

I stop visiting the site for a few days and this happens.

At least it makes some decisions for me.

Re: Regarding missing scores.

Im just glad im not a snail, I look forward to getting my scores back, so many boos, poof, they never happened. It's the best. Booflag on Punch you? FUCK THAT SCORE, It was bad anyway.

Also whichever things you dont believe you can ask me about and I can explain in great depth, I dont care to be tooo irrelevant here.

Re: Regarding missing scores.

I dont care about my post quality or much, Im just trying to be a positive voice in a sea of rage. I was the first one to tell Prawn about this, and the first thing I said is "THIS IS BAD PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE VERY MAD". I've worked with Communities, I've worked with developers, I've seen the silliest of the silly fuckups, and communities being negative and crucifying the people who run this site over 1 oversight that was not every single persons fault, rather than patting them on the back for working so hard to fix this shit is the most counter-productive thing, positive change is being attempted and no one here is paid, shit can and will happen, but look forward, The people who are crucifying staff are why this community will die. You look like such assholes to lurkers who cant get the confidence to post. This is the MOST NEGATIVE COMMUNITY I'VE EVER SEEN. People need to play for fun.

Speaking of crucifiction

What you don't understand here is that other people are grieving here. Your overly positive attitude is a bit too early.

Imagine a funeral where one of the relatives is running back and forth on the aisles of the church yelling: "THINK OF THE POSITIVE SIDES! I'M GETTING RICH! DON'T BE SAD LADS, C'MON WHO WANTS TO PLAY BASKETBALL???!"

Re: Regarding missing scores.

so, are the scores in people's replays going to be recorded, or do i need to submit them all somewhere? most of my good scores are in there, so i can send them to whoever i'm supposed to.

Only displays top 200 scores. I'll be saving each of these pages before robots update their cached data.

Re: Regarding missing scores.

For those saying "lesson learned" or "mistakes happen" or "well at least it was only scores," you are all missing a significant point.

There's been a recent influx of threads that point at staff, there's a history of people making threads about staff. Whether the community is misinformed or not about the inner workings of FFR, their concern is only perpetuated by things like this. I'm slowly moving myself away from FFR because I think, for the most part, the community's pretty toxic and the people I do care about I already have on Skype so I don't need FFR to stay in touch. But there are still people who use things like prochat, profiles, people still actively play the game. There's a lot of community investment in the site.

So, what does it say about the future of FFR when precautions are not being made to keep the community, the site, up and running?

Absolutely, without a doubt, having a 6 month old backup as the primary backup is wrong. Absolutely, without a doubt, performing experimental changes on a live site is wrong. From what I'm gathering, the only reason there even was a backup to roll back to, was due to the server move that occurred around October. Where the fuck would we be if we had to roll back scores to, like, fuckin' 2010 when the site came back up? This basically tells us that the only reason there was a backup was because the people involved in the server move were forced to make a backup (presumably by someone who's a capable and competent staff member).

Performing changes on a live set is even worse, because not only does it tell us that there is no test environment, but whatever script Velocity wrote was rash and impulsive. The raw scoring implementation should have been tested through and through. I would think that the community would have been fine with 2-3 days of site downtime to make sure everything would be working properly, but instead now we have to deal with ungodly site load times, and 6 months of "work" destroyed because someone thought it was a good idea to drop a fucking table in an environment with end users on it.

So, yeah. This was rectified pretty quickly and calmly, but that's not the issue. This never should have happened in the first place. Is this going to foreshadow what the site might see in the coming days?

Re: Regarding missing scores.

Could we get free secret songs for a short period of time cause I was not expecting to play some of those files for a while and spent everything on store songs and gambling hall

Re: Regarding missing scores.

So i saved a couple replays between October 25, 2014 and April 6, 2015, does that mean the scores will be automatically update sometime?

Re: Regarding missing scores.

What happened, happened. Unless you have replays saved of your scores it really won't matter too much. I came back to this site in September, and scores were only backed up to October. I probably lost a large amount of my non-AAAs. But oh well, there's nothing I can really do about it, so I just move on and keep doing what I'm doing.

What Velocity did could have easily been prevented but give the guy a bit of slack. Fuck ups happen every now and then. Shitting on Velocity will only make the situation get worse.

Re: Regarding missing scores.

Well, I lost a bunch of good scores. 200-400 Tier points. This, that. It's a shame. As much as i'd like to smack talk the devs that did this, there's no point. The mistake has happened and i'm sure they already feel stupid/bad enough. I've stopped playing as of a few months ago, but i definitely wont be picking it up again. Good luck to everyone getting scores back.

Re: Regarding missing scores.

Re: Regarding missing scores.

Re: Regarding missing scores.

I wouldn't be so mad about this happening if I didn't start getting back into FFR heavily in November. I had a massive skill spike and I've been using the last 5 months to try and sdg any song with an fc. Had a goal to get the 100% public songs played token and now with hundreds of scores lost it's so far away.

Plus all my top songs were pretty much a "fluke run." Doubtful I can manage some of my best scores again without trying numerous times.

Also being able to submit scores is going to skew the leader boards. At least for a while. Someone who has tons of backups is going to appear higher on the boards compared to someone who doesn't and either stops playing because of this or doesn't care to song-whore anymore.
