FFR Staff
Anyone with a red or green colored user name on the forums is a staff member. Someone with a red name is an administrator, and someone with a green name is a moderator. We also have a few members that don't have a special color. You can find categories of our current staff members
here.
Here's a little introduction to staff:
General Administration
Synthlight - The man who started it all; he is the site owner. He takes care of the server and hardware related jobs here.
Sprite- - A long time member of FFR who rose through the ranks, going from a regular user, to a moderator, and now is one of our site administrators. He is the community administrator, as well as a site development assistant. He is the go-to guy if you need something like a password reset on your account, have a problem with someone in staff, need a score fixed, or have pretty much any other account related problem.
jimerax - Another long time member that was a moderator and is moving on up. jimerax is responsible for game content. He's the go to guy if you have questions about in-game song difficulties, file submission, simfile events, and any questions pertaining game content.
Development Administration
These are the guys working behind the scenes on new features for the site/game. They'll keep you posted on progress for new things to come on FFR.
