What’s Happenin’ (September 29, 2015)
Hello everyone, just stopping in to let you know about a few things going on around the site.
Events Team
Two new members have been added to the events team, please welcome Frank Munoz and Cold Kitten to the team!
We’ll be working over the next couple of weeks to come up with some Halloween events for you, and I will continue to work on piecing together the official tournament.
Edit: Have a little something to add here, there are now FFR T-shirts available as a fundraiser for events. Check out the thread for more details.
Game Management
The first phase of the Hard Songs Batch has completed and is now in phase 2. Be sure to check the thread for all the latest details on that batch.
As per the final notes on sets 1 and 2 of the older batch, TC_Halogen and I are working on finishing those up and should have them in soon. You can find updates about the batches every week in the Weekly Batch Update thread.
Development
There are some October site updates coming your way just around the corner, so be sure to keep an eye out for those.
As you may have noticed we started having an influx of spambots lately on the site. Today PrawnSkunk banned a range of ips known for spambots which significantly helped the problem. If any one you know is experiencing any issues accessing the site after this (some were seeing a maintenance message) please reach out to one of the staff members and we’ll get it fixed for you.
Lastly on the dev side, any scores mistakenly recovered from saved replays have been removed.
Social Media
I could still use some help with getting videos created for the YouTube channel, so if you’re interested in helping out come on over to the thread and let me know what you’d like to do.
Have you liked us on Facebook and followed us on Twitter yet? We will be having social media only spon cons, so be sure to keep an eye on those.
Speaking of social media, I’m pleased to announce that T-Force will be helping manage the Twitter account and justin_ator will be helping me keep the Facebook page up to date.
User Events
The Amazings Only Tournament currently has registration open. Be sure to check it out!
The All Skill Tournament Year Two is currently underway. Good luck to all the participants!
That’s it for what’s happenin’ this week. See you next time!
