Re: Attention: FFR Administration and Staff
i'm a bit iffy about posting it outright but given that it's a 100% public linkedin with perhaps the ONLY ffr mention on linkedin period it's not hard to find

Re: Attention: FFR Administration and Staff
Lmao, owning a domain means it's registered under your property. I mean it's not called "owning a domain" for no reason. So if you want to go into option B hard, like real hard, it pretty much goes back to option A as you'd need to contact Synth for a transaction.

Re: Attention: FFR Administration and Staff
Dno what this guy's problem is. Is it so hard to give up a site if you don't even care about it? This is by far my favorite and one of the only rhythm games out there that I enjoy playing.

Re: Attention: FFR Administration and Staff
It might only work with the forums. As far as I know, there's a thing called the same-origin policy that gives us restrictions with cross-domain requests.

Re: Attention: FFR Administration and Staff
But in each of those cases, there was always an FFR to come back to.

I mean I get your point, but I still think that it would be difficult, and probably not the path we should pursue until it's ABSOLUTELY clear there is no way to go forward with our current system. I'm not yet convinced there is no hope for the site as it is now; we need to hear from Synth though. If a concerted effort by people who can contact Synth resulted in Synth hand-waving or not showing up at all, then it would be a lot easier to get people on board to entirely move somewhere else together, you know?

Re: Attention: FFR Administration and Staff
I think everything should start with a front page post to better get his attention, if he decides to visit the front page for like 10 seconds while logged out of his account.

:/ If there is anything I can do, let me know. I'm willing to do something to help keep this site alive if need be.

Re: Attention: FFR Administration and Staff
I would take that link down, it has personal information about Synth, his location, etc.

Re: Attention: FFR Administration and Staff
Erm... ok? I simply made a simple google search for synthlight.com and this is one of the first results that popped up. If it's too personal, by all means remove it, but it looked pretty public to me. Sorry if I misunderstood how the internet works.

Re: Attention: FFR Administration and Staff

Let's give some examples on how certain tasks could be split up more specifically: - Game Managers. These people are concerned with the content ingame and other administrative parts of the game (e.g. Tournament Dashboard score adding) and defining goals for the game (e.g. have the 10th official start in december). Actually handling the batches is given responsibility to Batch Managers. - Batch Managers. These people look at how the batches are running, set sprint goals for batches, and try to make the judging process smooth. - Event Managers. These people help in actively providing new activities on the site (e.g. fundraising for the official tournament, the StepCon, and so forth). Again, this is another case where responsibility is handed to a different organization of the site. - The Judge Team. These are the users that judge the batches within a given amount of time. Notice how here there is a clear delegation of responsibility. The Batch Managers have the responsibility of making sure the Judge Team process runs smoothly and accomodate for obstacles. This is not the responsibility of the Game Manager. The Game Manager may propose a goal (e.g. reach $2,000 for another official tournament) but that responsibility is then handed to the Event Managers. Does this look familiar to any software developers out there? Ever heard of SCRUM? In SCRUM you have: - Product Owner: Define what features to put on a product according to a customer's needs. - SCRUM Master: Make sure the process runs smoothly, keeps track of the development team. - SCRUM Team: The people who actually implement the product. - Stakeholders: Anyone affected by the outcome of the product. By definition, all above three are stakeholders, but stakeholders can also be from different organizations in the company. SCRUM goes by sprints, usually 2 week sprints. Let's apply the methodology here. User Stories are descriptions of what a customer wants (in this case, let's say the customer is the entire site's userbase). User Stories: - GAME MANAGER: We need more files for the next Official FFR Tournament. - BATCH MANAGER: Alright guys, we need files for the next Official FFR Tournament. Starting from September 7th, we will have a 2 week sprint of getting the August Batch judged. User story: Finish judging the batch this sprint so users can decide which files to send next batch, and gather more files for the next official tournament. - JUDGE TEAM: Now it's the responsibility of each judge to finish his or her section of the batch, and if there are obstacles, inform in a timely fashion. The accountability factor needs to be there. In SCRUM you also have daily meetings to get the SCRUM Master (in FFR's case, this could be the Batch Manager) up to date on how the SCRUM Team is doing. These daily meetings answer three important questions: What did you do yesterday? What did you do today? Are there any obstacles that will prevent you from finishing this user story by the end of this sprint cycle? Sprints are incremental and work towards achieving greater goals (in this case, gathering files for the official tournament but it has to be done step by step). So I read Synthlight's LinkedIn and how he's now a Vice President of Operations at a company, yet he still isn't delegating responsibility to other users on this site. There seems to be this massive issue of trust on this site, especially considering well... users aren't being paid. Synthlight I can see having an element of trust in delegation because the employees are in a work situation where they can get fired and lose income. You have developers, networkers, and other people on FFR willing to volunteer but their talents never get to see the light of day or some kind of argument hinders their chances of attempting to contribute to the site. I can't say this is what Synthlight's mindset is, but the way I see it is I can see Synthlight thinking "I spent a lot of money for servers and keeping this site up, I don't want people who aren't getting paid to be able to access stuff from the backend." This kind of paranoia is obviously hurting this site and it needs to stop. Where did the Managerial and accountability aspect go? Synthlight claims he has a new server but never got around to installing it. He can handle the physical cabling where he is, and then have networkers here help with the configuration of the DNS nameservers and such. I'm learning about networking at Akamai Technologies and I think choof is also a networker. There are users willing to contribute to this site.

Re: Attention: FFR Administration and Staff
What's most important?
Well, let's monitor the data storage so we don't crash the site, that would be first priority (if that is indeed a problem). If we can't fix that then it would be grounds enough to leave the site. Also Dossar, you're fupping amazing. |

Re: Attention: FFR Administration and Staff
just an fyi but if there is serious talk about taking ffr and moving it somewhere else remember that synth still owns ffr. its his and taking it would be stealing. he has threatened taking legal action before and would definitely do it again. if you guys want advice on how to handle the situation and what to expect from synth then talk to tass and the gang that tried to do it first.
