Facebook and FFR
Yeup, just bringing up a dead topic again. Who is in charge of the FFR Facebook page, and how can we get more people added onto that so that the latest post isn't over a year ago? I've tried talking to various staff about it, and nobody is ever any help and nothing ever gets done...
Also, for the record, I'm looking into what it takes to get a flash application running in a facebook page tab. Depending on how that goes, perhaps we can finally get something integrated into facebook to attract more people?

Screw it. We'll make our own FFR page. With blackjack and hookers!

Re: Facebook and FFR
I think the main reason that FFR The Game has stayed off of FB is because it doesn't monetize well. Or at the very least, it doesn't lend itself to microtransactions, except maybe in the case of support tokens.

Re: Facebook and FFR
Will the page ever be active? Yes. I'm not going to give up on getting that page active, and to be honest if we have to start a new one because the people running the other one are nowhere to be found, then maybe that's the best option.
Will the engine on facebook ever happen? I'm not sure. I'm working on figuring out what it requires to get the engine itself running as an app externally hosted, then from there it takes setting up a facebook page. If I had access to the actual FFR Facebook page the next step would be setting up an app tab FOR the page, so that users could play on there. Loading a separate (smaller) playlist for the app is completely do-able, and once that all runs it just comes down to whether or not we want to integrate a few scores tables into the facebook app so that people will play it, get bored of the few songs, and move to FFR to become better at the game and keep playing. It's not a short process, but I think it is do-able. Quote:
I will say though that if we could redefine permissions and contact artists with songs in game to see which would be okay with monetization, then it would be even easier to host a better functioning FFR app on Facebook. It's free to a certain point, but we all know Facebook is just out to make money when it comes to apps/games. edit: If anyone knows anything about hosting an app on Facebook and wants to try to help me, send me a PM. If you don't really know anything about it though I ask that you stand back and wait for the time being because while I could use help, I don't know what I'm doing either and it's a learning process. So I can't really use help on this unless someone knows what they are doing. :3 lol

Re: Facebook and FFR
There are like 5 ffr pages on facebook, which one are you referring to?
... Nvm i found the one called officialffr, at 7000 likes seems like that's the one. Edit again, it says the general managers of the FB page are Synthlight and aperson. My condoleances. Last edited by MarioNintendo; 04-10-2013 at 01:34 PM.. |

Re: Facebook and FFR
Zageron is one of the admins on the FB page actually (well that was the case a few months ago) so ask him?

Re: Facebook and FFR
Apparently someone intended for FFR to have a "Like on facebook" button,

Re: Facebook and FFR
There is/was a facebook like button, but that's not really what I mean in terms of the page being active. I mean the page itself posting and being active, something to be engaging and make it worthwhile to have an FFR page. A page like the Thirdstyle Facebook page, where new releases and events are announced over facebook for anyone to see. There's no engagement to the page anymore. It's all people posting on the wall to no answers, just like Synthlight's profile.
edit: it's still there, left hand column by prochat users

Re: Facebook and FFR
I did ask him, and if I remember correctly he said he's not on it anymore? It was either that or he ignored me (as was the case with most of the staff I've asked, aside from a few that just told me they didn't have access and couldn't be any help)

FFR on FB would be funny. Seeing these little 10 year olds going "holy fuc 8bit 80s is difficult as fuc" and they'll still be smarter than me since that song is always aids and I call it easy.

Re: Facebook and FFR
Facebook would be a great medium for letting people know -- I'm sure there are a number of people that would love to spread the word about FFR events and whatnot; article publishers (past or present) would be nice for this.

Re: Facebook and FFR
I would be MORE than happy to be one of said publishers, as I've said to various staff on countless occasions.. I think we're wasting a valuable asset by letting the FFR Facebook page sit idly. Still looking into the engine stuff by the way

Could work, but throughout history, fiffer has remained mostly anti-advertisement, on the site itself or elsewhere, so that might be out of the question. |

Best of luck though, Facebook is a great place to gain a wider FFR user audience as well as being as platform for informing existing users of goings-on around the community.

Re: Facebook and FFR
I second this motion..Would be pretty sweet. I often visit the Facebook page just to see if anything's been posted and, as Justin said, nothing for quite some time..Ever. It's disappointing to say the least because it really has potential to bring in at least a few more new faces cuz I mean, everyone uses Facebook.
