Anything you guys ever wanted to know about FFR before it went offline for a year? Chances are I can tell you.

whoa, what have you been up to? what was ur fav and least fav things about ffr before it went down?

Do you remember anything about Blader Jayne (the person who drew the ingame characters in FFR's character select screen)? JasonKey couldn't remember anything about that person and there isn't an account here by that name.

so

did shi- happen before 2009

How are you enjoying all the flash-game businessy stuff you've been up to?

Why did you end up leaving ThirdStyle?

Would you like to see the Widget idea, or the Kongregate version of FFR, brought back up?

Pretty simple question: Do have plans of sticking around FFR?

Since I left FFR, I worked full time making videos on YouTube. I made over 500 walkthroughs of flash games with over 200 million total views (between YT and other sites). For the past 6+ months, I've worked for ArmorGames as their resident game expert.... I design, test, and license games as well as other game-related stuff.

No idea... that was before even my time. Like, early 2003 right? I didn't start being active until early 2004.

I love the indie game scene. I loved it when I worked on FFR and I loved it when I did work for the entire industry. And I love working for Armor. It's great to be so connected into a niche market.

I left ThirdStyle because nothing was getting done. Jason and Ricky are two of my buds, but after Troy left... Isak just wasn't really doing anything. Tiza came in and was helping, but it wasn't that much. So I left because I felt like nothing was going to come of it... or if something was to come of it, it was going to take forever.

I'd love to see band-specific games made again. Those things had the potential to be gold mines. I'm working on a social music game in my spare time... if that pans out, doing something like FFR Widgets would be my next project. So stay tuned!

Not even a little. I'm just bored right now... and it's fun to reminisce every once in a while. Plus, I have knowledge that you guys might find fascinating.

will ya be staying on the site?

Do you know when FFR was at its peak in activity? I remember Synthlight talking about how Konami offered several million to have parts of this site from how much activity it had.

Tell me something juicy about the FFR debacle that I don't already know

Chances are it was my talking about Konami wanting to buy FFR, not Synth... but whatever. FFR was at its peak in early 2008; that's when we were doing the widgets big time and when Vagrant paid to have us create the MegaWidget (I forget what we were calling it) out of the AdminCave in LA.

I doubt there is something I haven't told you. All that private time we spent together in Boston ;)

what is that an actual thing that happened or are you just shitting me you sly dog plopadop

When you were active around the FFR community and game, what were your highest achievements and what were your disappointing moments?

Even if the disappointing moment was the unfortunate demise of the website for a good while?

Tempting, but I'll pass. TWG was my bitch for about 2 years... I'll stay retired as Babe Ruth, instead of possibly coming back and being Michael Jordan or Brett Farve.

I'm not sure about a singular highest achievement... maybe just being able to get paid to be part of FFR for a few years. Or having the rest of the staff out in LA with me. I never did AAA an FMO :(. The disappointments are pretty easy... everything from the middle of 2008 onward. Most of that is highlighted in my "The FFR Lo-Down" blog post though, if you aren't familiar with what happened.

Do you remember the reasons why the widgets were removed? Was DrugStoreCowboy the only one with record label contacts?
