    Re: FFR Suggestions

    vBulletin has a built in member-list, but it was disabled a long time ago I guess. Could be cool to have a list next to the profile links, but I don't see much use to it

      Re: FFR Suggestions

      Okay, I have two suggestions regarding certain pages on the site. I'll put them in spoiler tags because I don't want my post to appear too large:



      As you can see here, the majority of everything on this list is completely useless as of today.

      Advertising Inquiry - this is completely irrelevant and useless as of now
      My Band Wants In - band widgets aren't made anymore, and there is a thread for permissions
      Subscriptions - don't even exist anymore
      Merchandise - doesn't even exist anymore
      Site Feedback - what this whole forum that I'm posting this in is for

      As far as everything else goes, it could most likely be asked in a thread and answered there. I personally believe more relevant selections need to be added, or that the contact us page is removed entirely if it really isn't used. It is EXTREMELY dated and needs to be revised.




      As a blatantly obvious suggestion, please remove one of these circled sections. They are the same thing, and really one of them is all that is needed. I would recommend removing the top one, especially if you consider what I am about to suggest next.

      For my more intense suggestion, I feel that this page is extremely dated and doesn't reflect the full picture of user contribution on FFR. Currently there are five categories of contributors, and one of them is a moderator of something that doesn't even exist anymore! I feel that several more categories should be added, pretty much spanning any custom user group other than FFR players, or FFR veterans. I'll list a few just to get my point across:

      FFR Admins
      FFR Super Moderators (divide this up into forum / profile / etc moderators, unless you want this to be a special global moderator category).
      Video Chat Moderators (it has one person, and they can't even moderate video chat considering it doesn't exist)
      Multiplayer Moderators
      FFR Music Producers

      ADD things like:
      FFR Simfile Authors
      Developers (not the dev admins, but the people like qqwerf)
      FFR Difficulty Consultants
      FFR Simfile Judges
      Forum Moderators
      Profile Moderators
      Chat Moderators
      Radio Admins
      Game Managers
      Event Staff (Manager(s), helpers, etc)
      ...and whatever else I missed while I was looking around for other usergroups / titles.

      People could be a part of multiple groups if they qualified, and it would be a much greater representation of the overall community help FFR gets. At the moment it doesn't show nearly the full scale of how many people actually have a part in the growth of FFR, and I really think that it should.

      Also FFR Vets show up as FFR Elite Supporters on the credits pages, which is obviously incorrect. So change that as well if you do decide to take my suggestion please.


      Hopefully something is done about this, especially with the FFR credits page, because I really feel that is particularly important.

        FFR simfile authors? On the site credits page?!?

        Okay, actually, I really like that idea.

          This is very outdated.

          Should be updated soon.

            Re: FFR Suggestions

            @Lambda, I do believe I brought that up a bit back, who knows if it'll get updated. There are a number of places that need serious updating, such as that and what foxfire said, along with some other places as well. Honestly some of the forum stickies are outdated as well, but hey, what's a little misinformation that nobody reads going to hurt anyway?

              I just read over the faq, and I would say that there are a few things that are outdated, but for the most part nothing too serious. Then again it would probably take someone all of five seconds to make the following changes to the faq page:

              "The pattern of arrows scrolls from the bottom of the play field and players must hit the corresponding arrow when it meets the stationary arrows located at the top of the play field."
              Even though it is the default scrolling position, you are allowed to change the scrolling, so this is a little misleading.

              Also all of the FFR screenshots should either show the latest Legacy version, or Velocity engine.

              ""Four-finger": one finger on each key"
              Spread, since this is a two handed style, and four fingered is technically a separate one handed (or three fingered one one hand 1 finger other hand) style, it is a bit confusing. Spread is the correct term for this.

              "What Do the Difficulties Represent?"
              Whole category needs to be replaced with the 1-20 names, and elaborate on the new 1-99 difficulty system.

              "What Game Play Options are In FFR?"
              Needs the settings "Offset" and "Dark" to be added and explained.

                Valid points. I'm going to be going through these pages catching outdated things and correcting errors that are no longer relevant, so thanks for the input and help.

                        Can't. There are not only a ton of bots, but a number of advertisers who personally sign up to spam on both the forums and profiles. We're doing what we can to get rid of them as fast as possible, but you can't stop them if they're users signing up manually.

                            mind you, there are a LOT of people who don't play much, don't post, but are quite active on profiles.
                            a bunch of my ffr friends are like that. you see tons of recent convos between people i've never seen before

                            But then my lady friend got pissed off I was playing FFR instead of playing her. Then for the rest of the night she played the 'Only want me for my body' card and I didn't get to sleep with blankets that night.

                              That's a great deal more labor on both the user's end and staff's end, and ultimately may be a turn-off. The user would have to go to lengths to prove him/herself, and the staff would have to manually verify the legitimacy of each user.

                              Trust me, we're not trying to turn a blind eye to bots, but they're very hard to eliminate without implementing measures that are too restrictive.

                                I know Justin brought it up at one point, I don't know what the answer was if there was one but is it possible to put this back up?
