Maintenance Update
Posted in Flash Flash Revolution on October 13th, 2010
We rebooted into a new kernel tonight so that we could take care of some additional functionality on the server side. As the hours go by, more and more functionality is coming back thanks to 3 specific people digging into the code (say hello guys!). We are rapidly adding in new staff and we have had countless offers to help with all the work ahead. Thank you again everyone for your support.
Have you checked out the changelog yet? If not, you should. We are detailing the bug fixes as they happen.
Much more to come in the next few days. Multiplayer and chats are right around the corner.
Cheers,
Synthlight

Great job to all of the staff who continues to work on bringing back the site to how it used to be. I’m absolutely stoked hear that Multiplayer is on the way back; I’ll definitely be in there a lot, just like I used to be. Keep up the good work!
Posted at 12:43pm on October 14th, 2010

one quick question, will we (non subs) be getting the beta game anytime soon, when the site when down, i started playing the hosted version on 1.85x speed, and now i just cant get used to 1.75 again
we were told it would be comming befor ffr closed down, way back when.
thanks
Posted at 12:43pm on October 14th, 2010
I’m stoked for MP to return.
Posted at 12:50pm on October 14th, 2010
Thanks everyone for helping out! This is awesome
Posted at 12:54pm on October 14th, 2010
Is there an easily accessible link to changelog somewhere? If so, I haven’t found it. If not, I think it would be a good idea to add one if you aren’t already planning to. And thanks for the hard work bringing back this site, I was missing it!
Posted at 1:14pm on October 14th, 2010
Yeah mp return will be awesome x_x
Posted at 1:19pm on October 14th, 2010

No, I meant in some way that wont disappear off the front page. I asked that here specifically because it is in the news post.
Posted at 2:12pm on October 14th, 2010
We’re going to add the changelog link to the ffr community menu in the near future. Stay tuned on that one. [:
Posted at 2:13pm on October 14th, 2010
You should allow two sets of keys for those that play double setup.

You do realize that double setup is not only frowned upon, but also considered cheating, right?
Posted at 5:05pm on October 14th, 2010
4:20pm on October… Nice LD. Besides that, ill be happy to see MP up!
Posted at 5:43pm on October 14th, 2010
Okay, I added the changelog link to the main page.
Posted at 5:49pm on October 14th, 2010
when is the simfile database going to be fixed, so i can download sims that i recognized?
Posted at 5:57pm on October 14th, 2010
Things are looking up. I wish I knew how to program…
Posted at 5:59pm on October 14th, 2010
Simfiles are coming back. It’s just a matter of arranging the storage. They are nearly 600GB in size. We are going to be working nightly until everything is rewired and back online. Thanks again to everyone for their support and help through all of this.
Posted at 6:04pm on October 14th, 2010
Good to see FFR back up and running (for the most part). It has been too long since I last visited FFR.
Posted at 6:24pm on October 14th, 2010
So good to be back
Posted at 6:28pm on October 14th, 2010

Posted at 8:15pm on October 14th, 2010
Would gladly help in any way possible.
Posted at 8:29pm on October 14th, 2010
Keep going you guys, make it everything better the way it supposed to be.
Posted at 9:05pm on October 14th, 2010
Don’t forget to sleep, guys.
Posted at 9:17pm on October 14th, 2010
What is sleep?
Posted at 9:57pm on October 14th, 2010
I’ve never heard of it.
Posted at 10:53pm on October 14th, 2010
Congratulations to those that are new and helping with the site! It’s amazing and just all around perfect to see LD back on the site along with Sprite you two are by far excellent workers.

Any plans to reinstate subscriptions that expired during site downtime?
Posted at 2:22am on October 15th, 2010
Hi, Brian. Have you tried reading the announcements?
Posted at 3:25am on October 15th, 2010
Didn’t think to check forum Announcements, thanks Dom!
Sprite- is referring to: — http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/vbz/announcement.php?a=47

Posted at 8:55am on October 15th, 2010
I can’t wait for VC. This week is turning out to be great. (: Thank you all so much. I couldn’t ask for more. Keep up your wonderful dedication to this amazing site.
Posted at 9:49am on October 15th, 2010
Just a huge question (not even sure if this is possible with all the updates happening), but will a mirror site go up? For some reason, none of the songs will load for me, and it’s a pain.
Posted at 10:03am on October 15th, 2010
Thanks Synth and everyone else helping to get this site back up and running :]
Posted at 11:28am on October 15th, 2010
Yay! ^.^

[QUOTE=Sprite;164804]What is sleep?[/QUOTE]
lol, fix the simfile database
Posted at 12:21pm on October 15th, 2010
when do we see our profile votes page?
Posted at 12:53pm on October 15th, 2010
Awsome job guys, keep it up. *thumbs up*
Posted at 3:13pm on October 15th, 2010
Apparently, my simfiles don’t exist. :/
If you guys can fix this problem, it’ll be greatly appreciated.
But, other than that, I’m glad that the site is back. =]
Posted at 5:13pm on October 15th, 2010
Is it just me? Whenever I put an apostrophe it adds a / before it o_o
Posted at 5:57pm on October 15th, 2010
Yep, it’s an error in text sanitization. We write information into the database with those escape characters so people can’t inject malicious code into queries. I’m going to address it when I get off of work tonight.
Posted at 6:36pm on October 15th, 2010
IDK if this is a common bug or anything like that..but I am not gaining any credits after i complete the song.Just wanna get some idea why.
Posted at 7:41pm on October 15th, 2010
You guys should fix the avatars soon lol. I’m stuck as me from christmas last year >:
Posted at 12:18am on October 16th, 2010
Within time, this site will be back on it’s feet. This is great news.

None of the chats still work, but you probably already knew that

Posted at 9:27pm on October 19th, 2010

Posted at 9:27pm on October 19th, 2010
I will die without it
Posted at 10:41pm on October 21st, 2010
Yes, the changes are great and wonderful but now its saying I’m not hitting arrows when I know I am. Any thoughts?
