Default Re: FFR Memories

First exposure to FFR is thanks to a website called Addictinggames.com (late 2002). I got this site off a friend while goofing around during computer class in junior high (grade 8 I think).

I then became quickly fond of the game (early 2003). After a few months, the site changed and I was appalled that I actually had to sign up to have recorded scores. I didn't sign up initially, and kept playing as a guest. Eventually, I signed up (fall 2003). I played for quite a while. The old FFR users dominated the forum scene; I never really posted anything yet. I eventually became bored of FFR sometimes in late 2004.

During my first year in college, for some reason, I went back to FFR to fulfull my boredom (fall 2006). This is the first time I became actively involved in the community/forums, as well as became seriously involved in the site and game.

I began to play competitively, with my peak skill (relative to everyone else's) at 2007 to mid 2008. I also stepped simfiles for the community, as I enjoyed the creative side of this game. Sometime in 2008, the avmiss bug was fixed, and everyone else had a massive skill boost afterwards. I still played competitively, but couldn't catch up in regards to top spot and whatnot. I stopped playing competitively in early 2009, and preferred to step simfiles instead.

From 2009 onwards, everyone here probably already knows the rest about what happened to FFR.
