Please no.
This has happened many times before (R2, Keybeat, Thirdstyle) and each time it's either epically failed or torn the userbase in two.

The only logical thing to do is to get this site under the control of someone who checks in more than every 4 months and establish leadership, revive the company structure, etc. etc.
Trying to save it by all jumping ship at once to a new site has never worked, and it probably never will for a few social-psychological reasons.

Let's all get jobs at Wiredtree and complain to Synth in person.

[mr_candy]

yeah hihih but sadly i don't think that'll ever be happening:/

[Kraezymann]

It's nice to see everyone coming together to make a step forward for the community though!

This.


Those who have direct access to Synth might be the key in order to get this done. However, what exactly needs to be said/done is something I am not sure of.
Perhaps if we get every admin (current and past) on board, and have everyone come together and let him know that something needs to change, something might happen.

(still spit-balling here)

It's kinda sad to see how low the site has gone - that any of the stepfiles put up today won't reach the same kind of audience or play count that older files of objectively worse quality have. Things peaking with bad timing, I guess - and there's good things about having a small community as well, in any case.

For my part I'm willing to help out as possible, as a stepfile judge /if I was found to be sufficiently qualified/ for more efficient batches, as a fpp writer (what hi19 wrote in the other thread the other day is important), etc. But as this thread makes clear, the problem's deeper than that. Like Kraezy said though, it's nice to see open and actual discussion on this for once.

what is r2
what is kbo
what is thirdstyle

velocity's engine is arguably an ffr2

Do not forget that moving from a domain to another forces an amendment of the terms determined in the artist's content "permission to use" contracts, as they are properly specified for usage by FFR. Now I don't know if there's any acceptable solution from a legal standpoint to solve this, but that would mean informing each individuals of the concerned party of the changes in clauses if you want to be properly protected from strikes.

To be honest, I've put effort in many projects to stimulate the community and often have had close to zero interest from it, so I'm pretty much done. For example, I've put my eager to continue contributing for my brother's "Song List Correction" project on hold especially because of how our current limitations restrict us from actively making changes or seeking help (props to bmah for makig his best).

So I second in saying it's a collective effort.

srs?

[Charu]

Nope

[justin_ator]

Stand by my statement that I'm happy to help where possible, including but not limited to the front of social media and updates

[gold stinger]

excuse me but are the walls of the website breaking



nevermind must have been just my imagination. I'm really sick today.

Also, this seems like an easy fix. Can't the page just be edited with a different contact form to send to a different (new?) email address?.....

Was talking with Danceguy, and here is what we talked about in a nutshell:

Assuming worst case scenario where synth fails to respond... the only possible way that we can see a migration being beneficial would be if FFR's homepage would automatically redirect to a new URL taking all of it's members. This can be done easily if I am not mistaken?



So I guess we have two options:

A) We all band together (specifically admins who have more persuasion power to synth) and ask him to hand down the reigns for more freedom in updating the site
B) We migrate to a different website while redirecting FFR to the new domain, doing a copy + paste pretty much so we can take all old/new members so it's not another failed thirdstyle or something like that

I wouldn't do that without the website owner's consent.

it's not his problem?

would actually like a link to his linkedin page to confirm this

[noname219]

The domain is registered under his name.
I don't even know if that's legal or not, but it feels like hijacking to me.

[Charu]

Yeah, I wouldn't just flatout hijack it, which is why I suggest maybe making a new domain to transfer some of the heavy content over while also keeping everything else on this domain.

This is more of what I meant. My apologies. Bad wording on my part.
