Re: Attention: FFR Administration and Staff
yeah um, dunno if you guys know but synthlight has officially treated ffr as "not his problem" for close to five years
i got that from his job history on linkedin

Re: Attention: FFR Administration and Staff
It's a shame that its 'not his problem' but refuses to give it up to Zag/Velo when updates need to happen.
I'm wondering what can be done so it can change...

Re: Attention: FFR Administration and Staff
maybe we should all have a google hangout with synthlight or something and discuss these types of things since he's not here that often
and he doesn't consider it to be "his problem" when the servers are obviously "his problem" Last edited by gold stinger; 09-9-2014 at 12:49 AM.. |

Re: Attention: FFR Administration and Staff
If only there were a doctor around here to prescribe something for FFR's staff infection.

Re: Attention: FFR Administration and Staff
When stuff fell through before, this is what happened as an alternative: http://ffr.lightdarkness.net/ If Synthlight won't improve FFR, maybe an alternate site should be established for the best. Ater all, as Xiz mentioned, this site could be wayyyyyyyyyy better than it currently is. That feels like a bad idea though WHAT THE FUCK SYNTH.

Re: Attention: FFR Administration and Staff
there are a decent amount of options if we do have to jump ship
setting up an independent ffr client and getting a free message board (at least temporarily) would keep things the most similar to the status quo, although i imagine we'd go full ffrmania and just not care about artist permissions since we'd have little plans to expand a bit more out there would be setting up a new site under a new name but keeping the same basic engine and trying to carry over as much from the original ffr as possible, but that would require people to step up and take command of the new project the most extreme would be to just jump to another rhythm game community, like stepmania (which sorely lacks a central community to drive new developments and expansion- i was involved in an extensive conversation about stepmania's apparent lack of popularity compared to osu the other day), although i wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people wouldn't be willing to give up on ffr for whatever reason (and there would be a lot of reasons to choose from)

Re: Attention: FFR Administration and Staff
It doesn't seem like there's a winning solution here. We either wait here for the inevitable crash of FFR, or move somewhere else and deal with those consequences.

Re: Attention: FFR Administration and Staff
Where can Synthlight be contacted? This is starting to sound like a vitally important matter.

We need to use a ouija board for that.

Re: Attention: FFR Administration and Staff
I'm salty that my @flashflashrevolution.com email doesn't work anymore.
Whatever happened to that? :/ From what I gather so far, Synth just needs to hand over the site to the staff that are willing to improve it and keep it alive, rather than treating it as "not my problem" ~_~ |

Latest opportunity would've been a potential one-on-one meeting with him and Zageron in Vancouver during an apparent conference trip, but Synth never ended up travelling there. Trust me - we've definitely tried to contact him. Unfortunately it's entirely up to Synthlight to respond at all. We all understand that he has a busy outside life, but if he claims that FFR is his baby, we definitely deserve a bit more personal maintenance. Last edited by bmah; 09-9-2014 at 01:45 AM.. |

Re: Attention: FFR Administration and Staff
Perhaps this should be considered a serious issue then. It might be time to let him know "Hey, it's time to pass down the reigns" or something along that nature. However everyone needs to be on board for this to happen.

Re: Attention: FFR Administration and Staff
the fact of the matter is that anyone who tries to start a serious "jump ship" movement, even though ffr is CLEARLY going nowhere, is going to look like an asshole to a lot of people on this site

Re: Attention: FFR Administration and Staff
That has already been suggested to him I believe. Have yet to hear his thoughts on that matter. Our site's direction is quite frankly tied up by his decisions/lack of decisions. It really isn't as simple as concluding incompetence being the main factor that's hindering progress. If it was, then we could come up with an action plan that could take effect immediately. Reality? The site needs Synth.

Re: Attention: FFR Administration and Staff
You guys could have gotten tons of DMCA notices by now and no one knows because synthlight is inactive.
Cool. Last edited by gold stinger; 09-9-2014 at 06:58 AM.. |

Also, if the underlying problem of why this website can not continue to improve and could be on the verge of being offline for good is because of the founder and creator of the website... eeeeeeh... If people don't feel like leaving and want to continue to use this website, I'd imagine you guys would have to make separate domains to host content. We can already play files others have made on different domains via thanks to awesome arc using the game from this domain. Why not just move said content just like that and rewrite code so your stats and everything will still remain intact and recorded? ...I feel like someone already suggested that some time ago, but eehh... throwing it out there. Also, if the forums are a big part of the space issue, move the forum... to a different domain. I mean I can see no other way. But my suggestion is only if you guys can't persuade Synthlight to do SOMETHING for the website. |

Pretty much what i thought, it's a damn shame. So in a nutshell, nothing going to happen until synth either relinquishes ownership, or gives full control to someone. *Psst* Admins, go make a ffr2 and we'll all come to it. Last edited by mr_candy; 09-9-2014 at 08:58 AM.. |
