THINGS THAT YOU SHOULD NEVER REQUEST.
Go ahead and sticky this please.
Update: 5/31/07: I've added links so you can see which threads have hosted these bad (Although sometimes thoughtful) requests.
Game-related
Commercial songs/New songs.
This has been asked for one time too many. Synth might be one lucky man, but money doesn't grow on trees. When people try to get permission to step songs for FFR from big-shot artists, they usually ask for large amounts of cash or just say no. This said, don't try to get anyone else to do this for you - YOU want the song, YOU permission, and YOU pay any fees to use it.

Editing songs in the game
About the only logical explanation I can give you is that Synth and the staff want to keep the songs the same for nostalgic reasons; no matter what the reason, the songs aren't changing unless they feel the need. It doesn't matter if it's all blue, out of sync, whatever - it's not gonna happen, chief.
Link: none.
An offline FFR
There are two reasons this won't work:
1) We've already had an offline FFR, and it just didn't work too well.
2) Part of Synth's budget comes from people entering the site and playing the game. An offline FFR (With FFR songs, mind you) would just defeat the purpose of the site.

Endless/Marathon mode
Just won't happen. I'm guessing that it would be too much programming to get around the glitches, and/or it would cause too much traffic.
Link: none.
FFR for consoles
This goes back to the fact that Synth isn't that rich.......yet
. Synth has no plans to and probably won't get FFR onto other consoles. This does include cell phones, as DDR somehow has a game for the cell phone.
Link: none.
Links to artists' music
This does tend to get on peoples' nerves. Click here for the music. If it isn't here, try getting in touch with the artist to (possibly) bargain and buy the song(s), or it, quite simply, won't happen.
"Hurry up, FFR staff!" or "Why aren't the stats back yet?"
There have been multiple threads like this (Not all of them in this particular forum), and it's really pig-headed if you ask me. Our staff aren't only working their asses off to make this site and forum function, but are probably doing their best to get to that oh-so-important feature that you're complaining about (They also might have a life outside of FFR. Ever think of that, Ace?). And when someone explains that the staff are doing their best, don't respond with "i kno, but i liek rly want (insert feature here)." It pisses the vets off, particularly when the grammar is that bad.
Link: none.
R2 or Resonance ideas.
For one, R2, as far as I know, is probably abandoned and full of glitches. You'll just have to deal with the problems in there if you want to play that bad. Second, there are already designated threads for each of these games. This suggestion forum is for R1 ONLY. ¿Comprende? Está bien.
Different menu music.
Just won't happen.
Credit bonuses.
Come on, man. You have secret songs and songs that can be purchased. You honestly don't need anymore credit bonuses. Also, it's either too much programming or causes traffic.
You'll notice that I'm using this traffic statement a lot. Keep it in mind for any other suggestions you might have.
Link: none.
Credits in exchange for merchandise.
Merchandise costs enough money already. Trading in credits for merchandise is either two costworthy, too much of a hassle, or both. Earn your merch by the "Come Play With Us" system or buy it yourself like everyone else.

"Fix this glitch"
That goes in the bug report forum, Ace.
Forum-related and Misc.
FFRspace
Yes, we have a MySpace-like profile system, but in no form or fashion are we going to transform this site into a MySpace clone. Yes, it does give you a good opportunity to meet people and exchange a word or two, but the site is up for one primary reason: The game. We have enough users staying confined within the profile system already.

Anything against the rules of this forum or the site in general.
Need I say more?
To ban certain members.
Don't post it in any other section, either: Either use the report feature or tell a staff member. It gets annoying when someone says "hye guyz liek ban dis dude rite here hes calling meh a emo waaaaah." and when we tell him to stop, he bitches even more. I hate to weed this guy out (Or do I?), but here's a perfect example of this situation. Don't let it happen to you.
New FFR Merchandise
Although it's a grand idea, Synth can't afford much more than the t-shirts. Check in with a vet or staff member and see if it seems like a good idea or simply don't post. Better safe than sorry.

Things that have been requested multiple times before, whether we said yes or no.
Not that it's entirely your fault, but there have been many things, good and bad, that have been requested one time too many, particularly the FFRspace one, which just pisses off the vets/regulars. To avoid this problem, consider using the search feature to make sure it hasn't been asked for. It might, however, be accepted by the forums if it hasn't been suggested in a while and is a good idea. If it's bad, just look into your heart, and you'll find the answer.Don't release the dogs!
