One Word. Yikes.

Posted in FFR News, Flash Flash Revolution on October 9th, 2010

Following a year of intense rise and then nearly complete destruction of FFR, I have worked tirelessly for many months to re-wire and re-structure FFR so that it could once again promote rhythm gaming. This is without a doubt a work in progress but I am re-launching FFR with the full intent of cutting out the corporate bullsh*t, righting wrongs and helping to preserve the community that was our family for many years. It’s been a crazy 1 1/2 years for sure.

There is still an incredible amount of work to be done and we are aware so many pages still need rewiring but we will get to those as they are found. Currently multiplayer is still being rewritten to work in the new system along with the simfiles section. Most profiles should work but going to your own profile may present a problem. If you find any broken pages, feel free to respond here to this news story and post them.

I will no doubt post more on the history, what I have been up to and what we have planned over the coming week. I owe this to all of you. This isn’t a test.

Cheers,
Synthlight

  1. It’s nice to see that things are actually coming back. Thank you! :D

  2. This must be what the 2nd coming of Jesus will feel like.

  3. synth darling. <3

  4. most of ffr is broken lol
    profiles
    the game itself
    but still HOLY SHIT SYNTH

  5. AGREED..but this is better than the coming of Jesus.

  6. Thank you, a lot, dude!

    /Respect

  7. <3

  8. right on. glad to see things back in action!

  9. Thanks Synth. <3

  10. Very exited :D Cant wait to get back to making Profile Backgrounds ^_^ and I’m happy my rank and all is still there!!! Wooo!

  11. Well, the first main (maybe) issue is that most people are having issues reaching this page. Some are still getting the image.

  12. Anxious to hear what really went on behind the scenes. I’m happy you’re back Synth, and I’m happy you’ve re-evaluated your business strategy to make this a family instead of a corporate enterprise.

  13. A lot of people can’t get on at all. I can’t even seem to get on as much as most people. May even be a comment about this already that I’m not seeing. But I guess we just need to be patient. Nice to see you again Synth <3

  14. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

  15. oh also, you can’t look at the profiles without logging off. and and and even then, you can’t look at the pictures ;-;

  16. All I have to say is that your are truly dedicated to this site. Im sure after a year of being down most would just call it quits but you are still hanging in here and making your attempt to bring the site back. Give you mad props for that. Hope to see everything get back as much as possible. =]

  17. You are amazing, Synth. Welcome back, and it’s great to see you bringing FFR back again. <3

  18. I was just wondering what are you going to do about all the people that had subscriptions? I know quite a few of us had been paid up for a good amount of time when the site went down. I think I was paid up for about 5 months at the time.

  19. Wow, first time I check this site in a month and it just happens to be on the day FFR comes back. :D

    Great work synth, keep up your awesomeness!

  20. Sidenote: I think we might need a whole new set of staff that’s willing to be a part of this community for no pay. Just a thought. Maybe not an entire new staff, but some.

  21. You, sir, are incredibly sexy.

  22. agreed with mikeyz

  23. i cannot believe this !!
    FFR IS BACK !
    thank you synthlight :O OMG

  24. Thank you so much for never giving up.
    Welcome back FFR!

  25. Yeah, i miss my Subby. :( haha

  26. wow

  27. Synth. If a God existed. He’d be you.

  28. Synth, you may or may not have seen some of the things I posted about you, on Tass’s site or ThirdStyle’s. I only posted such things because we had very little communication from you which pissed me (and alot of people) off. It seems you weren’t lying to us after all…

    I’m sorry.

  29. Interesting. I can’t say that I’m really into FFR (as a game) anymore, but I’m happy that the site will continue to exist.

  30. Damn I really didn’t expect that.
    Nice comeback, Synth.

  31. Oh my fucking god, I love you.

  32. As long as everyone gets a hold of everyone they knew, This place can always make a come back… Im giving it a week and it’ll be bumping :)

  33. CAME WITH THE FORCE OF 100 SUNS

  34. I can’t change my avatar, sadly. :(

  35. Oh. My. God.

  36. F*CK YEA SEAKING.

  51. Can’t believe it’s actually back.
    Yay! c:

  53. Holy sh!t its back. I never thought this would happen. Thank you, Synth. =D!!!

  54. I WANT TO CRY SO HARD RIGHT NOW.

  58. WHUT!!!??? YES!!!

  59. Oh boy! it must be my birthday :3

  60. I missed you.

  61. For the longest time, Jason made me despise you Synth.. But, I think the tides have changed.. FFR won’t be the same, But God bless you for working your ass off to bring the community and game back. And to all whom helped you. Man, Keep it up.

  62. Wow, this is amazing.
    Thank you so much, Synth.

  63. Thanks Synth! Good job! Glad to see FFR back :)

  64. Wow it’s awesome to see all the people come back and bring me nostalgia and it’s only been a year. You guys never left! It’s only the first day! After all this time people are this dedicated. Thanks Synthlight for bringing back this amazing community!

  65. <333333333

  66. OMG Synth! It’s nice to have the community back up! I’ve sure missed it! :) <3

  67. if i see a page thats not broken ill let u know :P

  68. You know I have been hitting that FFR link every day for this to happen, ITS GOOD TO BE BACK!

  69. Stopping the cooperate bs, eh?
    You know, you banned me because of that. :(

  70. HOLLY BAWLS!

    Hopefully I finally get my subby that I ordered 3 months before the site crashed =O.

  71. I’m with you on that one Kibblre!!! haha

  72. Welcome back Synth! ’bout time imo, but it’s good to see the community being revived. Though I sincerely hope there is a re-shuffle of moderation.

    (p.s subbies will be reissued? Or is it just bad luck for them expiring within the last year)

  73. it seems gandalf has indeed come at dawn

  74. We’re here for you, Synth.

  75. NEVER AGAIN.

  76. Synnnnnnnnth

  77. YEEEEEEEEEES!
    :D

  78. “I can see clearly now…the rain is gone..”
    No but srsly, nice to see everything back as well as the hardcore fans//players.

    Welcome back everyone! :D

  79. Thank jesus!

  80. -gasp-

  81. This is almost too good to believe!

    Thanks Synth.. it’s been a weird year without FFR.

  82. Fuck yeah, FFR is back :3

  83. Missed all of you!!! <3 Glad FFR is back!!!!

  84. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbJ6b8io9dY

    This is how I feel.
    Dawnerd, go die in a hole cause FFR did come back.

  85. This is so overwhelming, too bad I can’t download sims right now.

  86. half the stuff on the site isnt working the other half is partially working, give the guy a chance to work things out :P

  87. wooooooo~~~ FFR <3

  88. yep my profile isn’t working

  89. For now, you can only view your profile offline. Be patient, Synth will have everything functioning again. :)

  90. YES YES YES MY LIFE IS COMPLETE AGAIN FFR IS BACK

  91. The world is right again!

  92. Hi FFR

  93. I have to say sorry for ever not believing in you. Thanks. :)

  94. It’s my bbf Sakura! :D
    What’s up nigglet.

  95. @ rayword45

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbJ6b8io9dY

    This is how I feel.
    Dawnerd, go die in a hole cause FFR did come back.

    Fucking right. Great comment.

    I posted on Synth’s forum profile 2-3 hours ago and I’ll say it here too: I’m glad Synth is dropping the corporate attitude and is going back to making it a hobby site. I was slightly upset about the site going down, but the fact that you’re willing to give up the corporate deals and other general aspects of a business to keep the community alive is amazing, and people should commend you for that. Of course, there is much to be discussed, but that comes in the future as things are being brought back.

  96. Long Live FFR =) Hope everything works out better this time!

  97. I’m as shocked as you all right now

    Long live FFR and hope everything works out for Synth and we can get the game running again!

  98. Ill speak for everyone here when i say: Hell, its about time

  99. This has to be the biggest news I’ve heard all year.

  100. 100th comment :P

  101. Welcome back everyone. Synth, as Chaz said, we’re here for you

    Users, if you choose thirdstyle over ffr, I won’t care. At least in my eyes, once you were a part of ffr, you’re always welcome back. (lol, except for if i ban you from vc)

  102. I’ll probably try thirdstyle even though i plan to stick with FFR. FFR has been my second familly for 3 years and I just won’t let it die on me again.

  103. Ah, FFR…how I’ve missed you so!

    I’m absolutely ecstatic right now, this was one hell of an awesome surprise Synth! It’s been a long time, but it feels great to finally be back here again! *plays some more FFR*

  104. Woot

  105. I like that the site’s back. Of course, game’s still laggy and unable to save, but that’s a minor thing. In the long run, the forums are what I’m most happy about. Back into the community at long last, after nearly a year of being shut out of a loved place. Good to know a place I contributed money to is still planning to actually exist… <3

  106. perhaps fixing the email for password resets???

  107. Wow… this is just O.O

  108. on a double post, synth ily. O.O

  109. I always thought it’d be back before, then I started losing faith.

    I just can’t believe it’s back. :)

  110. lol

  111. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  112. HAY SUP. <3

    I missed the FFR community, hahaha.

  113. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I never thought I would miss getting thread spam emails from ffr. I knew you’d pull through. :)

  114. Well, it’s been a long while, and I can say I’m glad it’s back. Welcome back everyone; thank you Synth. I’m super duper pumped. c:

  115. Definitely glad it’s back. Credits not going up after clearing songs bugs me though! 50k credits needed to clear out the FFR shop lol. Takes a while when receiving 0 per song.

  116. Thank you tasslefoot!!!

  117. CAFFKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

  118. Who are you and what are you doing thanking Tass?

  119. I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU

  120. so fckin happy to see this back up when i found out i was pretty happy about it, everyone had doubt but i had a feelin things were someday goin to pull through excited to see it up! xD

  121. It was a right decision to check the site every single day. Now i just happy. Thank you Synth.

  122. it is such a frigen coincedence that i would accidently delete my copy of the offline version of ffr yesterday, and look up the torrent today, only to find FFR IS BACK! i am very pleased. of course things arn’t perfect, but hey, glad to have it playable atleast.

  123. Thanks!!^^*

  124. Back up, and on my birthday… **** YES!

  125. P.S. Profiles don’t work at all.

  126. Awesome, thanks

  127. Awesome.

  128. So I wake up with a tremendous hangover, headache and a dodgy stomach, I sign onto msn, a friend of mine tells me FFR is back, I come on here and it’s no joke!! I’m going to play untill my eyes ‘splode yaaaayyy!!!!

  129. 2nded to ICC’s experience though it was Sky Kitten who told me. Glad to see it’s making a come back. :3

  130. OMG!!!! sleepless nights here i come. thank you for bringing back the best game ever

  131. Welcome back! i see some things are running i know yall still working on profiles! :P

  132. @justaguy

    U MAD???

  133. omg synth misses me? dont care.

    im here for the friends i’ve made so stfu and go back to the cave you have been hiding in for the past year

  134. Synth. Thanks :)

    I nearly gave up. Things went wrong but the most important thing is that FFR is back up. Thanks.

  135. ^^

  136. :D

  137. two words.THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

  138. WOOHOO!! I’m so exciteeeed :D

    Thank You Synth! <333

  139. oh yeah.

    Haiii Thana, Roy, Becca and Chaz <333 missed you guys bunches!

  140. YEAH I CANT DESCRIPE THE FEELING!!

  141. Wow, FFR is back. @Kid_Merkury you’re funny. Missed FFR Community.

  142. Although I was into FFR when I was already in my teens, I feel as if a big chunk of my early childhood has come back to me or something. The nostalgia is fantastic and seeing a bunch of the same members commenting just as ecstatically definitely ties this in all together perfectly.

    Thank you Synth. :3

  143. Finally back in business! I’m happy you’re back!

  144. I jizzed repeatedly from this! Thank you so much synth, I’ve been waiting for this to happen!

  145. yea im pretty sure most people cant view their profile same as me.

  146. :) Never thought I’d be glad to have FFR back.

  147. Skill token page is broken but THANK YOU SYNTH

  148. Awesome! ^^ I <3 FFR. D:

  149. Jennnnnnn and abbie xP

  150. this silly little website wont let me view any profiles and it wont let me play the game =[ no fair

  151. J’aime FFR

    Long life ! Thanks man

  152. Dear creators of FFR. I apreciate your bringing back of the wonderfully addictive game that you have created. The continuous and tireless efforts of you guys maintaining the website, sometimes even without pay continues to inspire and amaze me. I whole heartedly apreciate all that you have done for the sake of my, and everone elses entertainment.

    Continue being the wonderful and dedicated people you are. I hope that a large corporation finds and funds you, and that you al becom the deserved millionairs you obviously deserve to become.

  153. synth

    make sure you use that changelog

  154. Glad to see it back up. Hoping to see some things similar to those implemented in the things that took over in your absence, those things were pretty snazzy. Have a great day Synth!

  155. Synth you just made my year! =] We owe you so much for making this happen. Glad I can stick around for a few more years haha.

  156. about time, damn im happy :)

    thank you.

  157. I don’t remember my password :[

    -cedo

  158. FINALLYYY!! FFR is back!! ^_^ Thank you so much synth i’ve been waiting for a LONG TIME for this to happen!!

  159. Sitting here laughing at the name I chose for my account when I was like 8 years old.

  160. Encuentro realmente fantastico que se haya abierto nuevamente esta pagina, la verdad es que la daba por muerta y ahora me siento extremadamente feliz porque ahora se pueda volver a utilizar, por otra parte, lamentablemente no se puede escuchar canciones al momento de descargar los simfiles y tampoco se pueden descargar canciones….dice : Warning: No simfile ID set.
    Si alguien puede descargar canciones porfavor no dude en comunicarlo..desde ya muy agradecido por esta maravillosa pagina!!!

  161. yay!!!!!! no more runescape!!!!!!! LMAOFFS

  162. It’s been a year FULL OF BULLSHIT since last year’s Christmas. Then, FFR is down.
    But. After dealing with the shitstorm, suddenly, today, I fancied to play some FFR and, looking for simfiles, I’ve found this.
    Don’t know if all this means something, but FFR coming back is AWESOME!!!
    PS: Adoro este juego y a esta comunidad. Ă‚Â¡Sois la leche chicos!

  163. DUDE YOU ROCK my profile is broken but still THAT DOESN’T FUCKING MATTER

  164. Synth = GOD! <3<3<3

  165. WOOT! This might help me get off of runescape!

  166. Holy jesus christ, oh wait im playing Halo Reach… GT: R3VEREND TECH …

  167. :D

  168. I am so happy that it is back! I knew it would be =) Been waiting since it shut off. Where do I donate?

  169. Yes.

  170. Overjoyed KAZE is overjoyed.

  171. Baby steps everyone :)

  172. FFR needs a Twitter account now… and then Facebook unless it has one

  173. Nice! Gotta admit, I really doubted the fate of this site. Good to see it alive and well.

  174. @adrian, baby steps you say…
    How do i do these baby steps you speak of??

  175. Thank you!!!! <3

  176. Sweet. I just got internet back yesterday after a month of not having it, then went on here just for the heck of it and poof, FFR IS BACK.

  177. I thank Tasslefoot for filling us in on what really happened and giving us an alternative FFR site with the same engine in the meantime.

  178. Ahhh this is so excitinggg (:

  179. Thank you, Synth.

    ~zero

  180. Man oh man, some old names here. I’m pumped for the game to be back up.

  181. So I played a good 15 rounds before realizing “Shit, scores arn’t even recording.”

    Waste of an hour of my life.

  182. Wow what Luck I would check the site! I am so glad it came back!

  183. holy shit, its been for fucking ever.
    i honestly didnt think youd be coming back
    but its good to have you back
    work on the profiles though(cant get any to load)
    thanks guys
    and FFR community, welcome back

  184. So FFR’s back after a long hiatus…

    It’s a welcome sight for sore eyes.

  185. Oh my gah I missed you so much. So hard to refer to what this game was while it was down. Now they will be able to try for themselves!!

    glad I checked this like weekly for a year =p

  186. hehe what are the odds i finally decide to click the FFR button on my bookmarks tab and it would actually bring me to an up and running site :D

    MAN im SOOOOOO PUMPED!!! i was just playing the torrented version thinking how i miss playing it online more.

    woohoo yay

  187. Fan fucking tastic

  188. Synthlight, I thank you for this. Over the past year and a half I became a Runescape addict along with a Runescape Player mod. That means I played to much, but now that FFR is back it just gives me a new start!

  189. Awesome ! Thanks you so much <3

  190. yay, ads work!!

  191. I’m just happy it’s back. Thanks =]

  192. *__*

    It’s been far too long.

  193. Needs more “ave misses”.

  194. When I finally lost interest the devil is back.. :P

    Looking forward to when it’s playable again thou.

  195. im so happy this site is back … honestly i didnt check for a little over a couple 4 weeks then i was on aim and BAM one of my friends put as his status “FFR is back” … you dont know the smile that was on my face i felt as if god were sending me a message

    p.s. thanks for the hard work synth :D

  196. IT’S FNALLY BACK! :]

  197. Let’s see how all of this goes. :)

  198. Oh, and it’s a real shame my subby time died out last month. Haha.

  199. hey i dont know if this is normal but my stats and credits are set at 0 can it be fixed are is it part of the wiring problem. P.S. its does feel nice too be back, it would be better though if my profile was restored. =)

  200. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Wow. :3
    Thanks Synth! :D

  201. I think this constitutes the use of FFR party bus.

  202. yayyyy you just made my day! :D

  203. lol sam, the same way everyone patiently waited for this, they’ll have to wait for 100% restoration/rebuilding

    In the mean time, since for many of you, not having logged in for a while is like not having sex for a while, blow your loads in the forums :)

  204. The songs arent loading correctly. they instantly shoot to 100% and then goto the song, which doesnt show arrows or play any music.

  205. and now theyre working..

  206. Adrian, did you just make a sex reference?

  207. and now theyre not working again. I see a pattern

  208. So thankful it is back. Synth, you are amazing!

  209. Yay! FFR is finally back. I can’t wait for it to get back up and running fully. :D

  210. YAY FFR IS FINALLY BACK!
    I’ve been waiting a longgg time for this.
    Thank you so much Synth.<3

  211. OH HUH RAH.

  212. so glad its back, i was starting to fear that we may never see it running again welcome back FFR

  213. I cant see any of my profiles when im logged in.
    i also cant log in to my KingOfTheDemonVamps profile

  214. Glad to be back! BTW can I have my blue subscriber thing back? I added a one year subbie 2 months before the site went down any way to recover the 10 months?

  215. HALLELUJAH! FFR is back, good job Synth, I am very proud of you for never giving up, thanks for bringing back FFR, i miss this website!

    When are we going to start downloading simfiles and see our profiles again?

  216. fucking awsome

  217. Holy **** this is crazy.

    ~LX

  218. Woo! Been waiting for this for a long time. :D

  219. v nice, but i think il w8 for the beta version of the game to be put up.

  220. My life is now complete…thanks Synth your awesome.

  221. Thank you and welcome back!
    Doubts turned into reliefs.

  222. Who should I contact for my password?

  223. Damn…. I’d actually gotten a life once FFR went down. Now that my first vice is back, what am I going to do with my life?!?! I’M DOOOOOOOMED.

  224. Fuck. This is Devour, and I fucking forgot my password and my email. To prove I am myself, I can go on cam and anyone who knows me will recognize me.

    Also, profiles aren’t loading if you’re logged in.

  225. You know even with all the broken links and bugs, its a hell of a lot better than a 404. Synth, you’re awesome.

  226. I LOVE THIS!~ :V
    GRRAWR!!!
    -Super Happy-

  227. Plz keep ffr back :3 ..10 months almost killed me

  228. I just want to give a very heartfelt thank you. I have been with this site for many many years now and I have to admit: in my own selfishness, I was crushed to see that the site had gone down, despite all the pain it had caused you. I have checked the site at least once a week for the past year or so that it has been down, and today…expecting only to feed my own compulsions of checking the site, and instead coming to the same page that I’ve known and loved for those many years — I must admit, it felt great.

    I want to extend my gratitude for all the hard work you’ve put in to this community… for the persistence, dedication, and effort you’ve given us. I hope we can give you the same. IT’S GREAT TO BE BACK, FFR! :)

  229. Hooray it’s back :D God I missed you all so much T.T (even you guys I don’t know)
    Also, /r/ing moar Skill Tokens <3

  230. Holy shit!

  231. I hope I’m not the only one who got horrible at FFR over the 10 months it was down. O.o

  232. Synth Thanks for bringing it back man!

  233. I have missed this site for so long, true it is has a lot of work to be back to it’s formal glory, but I am glad to see progress

  234. Yay FFR is back!! I can’t edit anything on my profile though :(

  235. VIVA LA FFR

  236. I’m getting some hardcore nostalgia seeing some old names posting here.

  247. OH MEH GAWD ITS FINALLY ALIVE! Welcome back FFR community its nice to see some people are still here :D

  252. omfg i was playing yesterday on the lightdarkness version to remember the good old time and I dont ever think to check if the real one is up so i wanna play again 2d and i open flashflashrevolution by mistake and BIG SURPRISE THE COMEBACK TNKS A LOT!!!!

  253. tytyty, now i can finally record my scores :)

  254. How long is it estimated to take to get the profiles back up and running?

  255. Thank you. You don’t know how much i have missed FFR! And yea i still can’t seem to view profiles. But im sure that will come. Thanx again for everything!

  256. o one more thing! good luck for the user profile restoring i know there over 1 million member! wen the FFR was just growing at 2008-2009 then boom coding went wrong shut down FFR almost a yr! but still we can comment on a few things an play FFR the game thats all it matter to the member right now because ppl ur profiles gonna be awhile for it to go back up to normal maybe close to December maybe cant tell because that’s alot of profile to recode an fix! lol but anyways enjoy the FFr the games! :P

  257. Thank you synthlight. Looking forward to the full return of the simfile database!

  258. Ă¢â„¢Â¥ ;___;

  259. i missed you guys! <3

  260. Hey im having an issue i go to play the game n i select a song n it says im playin but there rnt ne arrows or music n if i press the arrow keys then it boos untill i fail thes song wtf

  261. This is going to be so awesome. Thanks so much for not giving up on FFR. I was so heart broken when the site went down. I started to play the FFR mirror thing and I am starting to realize that I no longer have the speed or accuracy as did when I played constantly two years ago. Well, maybe that’s what I get for not playing in a year. Hopefully I can get back up to the skill I was once at and even further. Thanks for bringing the site and so many memories back.

  262. OMFG FFR IS BACK!! Synth, I seriously fucking love you.

  263. Glad to see the site..somewhat working again. I hadnt logged on in soo long only to find it not up and running :( Cant wait to get back into multiplayer :D

  264. Seeing this site back, after luckily checking only a couple days after its return, I am glad to see the game working. The little site that you could play it on didn’t work. But now I can play again. One problem: it wont save my scores and add them to my toral, and my highscores appear gone in the post-game analysis. Other than that, YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  265. I literally cried for joy as soon as I saw the site. I thought I was dreaming, I thought I died and heaven appeared through my eyes, I thought I was having an illusion, but I cried.

  266. word

  267. OK here is what I found out to be broken:
    FFR the game – Songs do not load correctly even when the cache is cleared. Sometimes the game does not recognize that you’re logged in. It might be depending on the browser used.

    Forums – Extremely laggy, takes about 10 seconds to redirect somewhere else.

    That’s about all the problems I have experienced. All the other problems I’m sure you are aware of.

  268. I think getting the scores to save should be a top priority. I have had some lag issues in game, but that could just be my computer.

  269. I had an account back in 2008 or 2009, but forgot it after i saw the site was shut down. Did a search on google for mirror sites and it is back!!! YAY!!!!

    I was playing FFR the game, and it was not giving me credits or scores. I have had minor lag issues, but those can be fixed over time.

    Kepp up your hard work Synth, you are awesome cherry blossom.

  270. I have the same problem as MissTaraDeels. It’s not logging my games or credits, but I’m honestly not complaining. Just glad the site is back, and I can’t wait for it to be truly awesome again (not that it isn’t already).

  271. The scoring system is not working and Synth is aware of that.

  272. Thank you for bringing back this site Synth. I was missing my second family.

    And remember, we, the users, are always going to be there if you need any kind of help. Don’t forget.

  273. And I like how I am one of the few people that still have a subby.

  274. I was in doubt it would ever be back, but I’m happy I’m wrong. Keep up the good work, Synth.

  275. this is awesome but i cant actually play for some reason…the song loads and goes to the play screen but the song dznt start. bittersweet i guess

  276. nooooo

  277. YESSSSSSSSSSS

  278. Yes!!! Hey SkyKitten and everyone else that remembers me!! YAY ffr is back woot!

  279. THANK GODDDD.
    Profiless need maaajor work.
    The game’s solid, still intact.<3
    Uploading pictures is buggy,
    along with pretty much almost everything. D:
    Keeping workin’ br0$k1.<3

  280. This is so amazing. I am in a state of high.
    :D
    Only problems I found were with the Pictures/avatars.
    Haven’t gotten around to the game yet.
    But yeah <3

  281. Also, you can’t edit your profile info.
    :(

  282. You should add an option to change your username, *nudgenudge*

  283. Back at last…
    By the way, many tokens are inaccessible.

    And this link 404s:
    http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/gottabesmart.php

  284. I went here just to be all nostalgic… and wow imagine my surprise when the site came up haha. Even though things dont really work yet.. as in FFR itself… I’m still so pumped. Looks like my grades are going down the drain :(

  285. holy shit

  286. Great job on all of your work synth, I found a problem with the pictures on all the profiles. If you click view all, it redirects you to profile search. Hope this helps get the site back to 100% ^^

  287. thanks alot synth, this is awesome! one problem there (atleast for me), if i play a track i get no points from it to my total.

  288. Awesome synth. I’m glad ffr is back. Now to fix update profile function? Won’t let me. ~

  289. Lol. SUPSMIT.

  290. omg i love u synthlight lol

  291. WOW it’s back!
    Synth,you’ve made thousands of “you’ve made my day” right now. :D

  292. OMG this is so exciting if it werent for KBO i wouldntve known this site had been revived thank u so much Synth! but one little thing i came across my credit count doesnt seem to increase when i earn credits it just stays the same

  293. Damn, so many familiar faces, hopefully profiles will be fixed so we can change avatars, and post comments. but for now, keep up the good work. and if anyone needs me, ill be on facebook :P

  294. oh yeah, hopefully you can get Vid Chat and Profile Chat. up and running.

  295. again im still glad ffr is back up, but im pretty mad im not to much into the game anymore since the game has been gone for a year, i used to luv this site, but now its watever, im sure alot of u feel the same way

  296. i cant get into my pictures!

  297. holy shit, still remember the old time :)

  298. Update the simfile database please?

  299. omg thanks.

  303. FIRST COMMENT

  304. omg yes my favorite site lives again!

    Can’t wait for MP :D

  305. @perfectchaoslemon

  308. *Jizz* …. Just…. *jizz* …. MY LIFE HAS FINALLY REVIVED! :D

  309. i cant update my profile, and when i play a game it doesnt go towards my rank or anything:(

  310. @ RB_Quackies

    ily Nicole :3

  311. DEAR, NYTMARES_R_REAL <======================================================================================

    im gonna pull apart your dumb ass comment one thing at a time. first.. ill admit that the game doesnt work 100% of the time thanx to comment 204-205…….. but they seem to work with in 5 mins… soo…. try reloading? but now?!!!!!!!! TO BEGIN: theres a difference from telling someone what needs to be fixed and asking them to fix it. ie. “making known: comments :11, 13* good point, 15 * <3 prongsie!!!, 39,44, 69 wargasim ..good player btw :u, 85 , 88, 105, 106, 149, 162, 182,198. i think i made my point ill stop there. now to show what annoys players…. :ie the only person i truely ment….. which was 297: “177 maxX” i jus didnt want to kall any specfs…….. i just dont think its fair to rush somthing thats already obvously gonna happen…. its just annoying and im pretty sure ppl here will agree we waited over a year so wat a week or two?….. second if you ever read tass’s fourm u would know that, i “”http://tasselfoot.com/2010/09/13/nov-1st/”" stay tuned… does it mean ffr was pose to b bak up then?? idfk.. but all i kno is that if u look deeper in the “forums” a lot of ppl did ,so that was the last “CURRENT RELEASE DATE” so obvously ffr wasnt bakk in dec wen it was orriganilly pose to b bak, third id love to see your reply…. tell me how im wrong???? its obvously dumbasses like you that make ppl not miss the site forums seeing as how u have 3 current thumbs down…… soooooo… whos the dumbfuck??? TYTY

  312. Man i was so bumd out bout this site being closed, but now its all coming back together an i am so happy now! then again multiplayer doesn’t work atm but until then ~”thanks you”~

  313. I love the way there’s drama already.

    Goodness lord, I would have thought people have learned in a year.

    Avatar pictures: I can’t change them.

    I want to update it A.S.A.P. I was a fatty, and now I’m not a fatty.

    Thanks baby.

  314. I’m so stoked about this, you don’t even know. I would never trade anything in the world for the amazing feelings that FFR has brought to me in the past. Thank you Synth.

  315. And to think that I had to resort to other games when I thought FFR was never coming back :D
    I’m so glad that the site’s back. Thanks, Synth.

  316. OMG! Went on a short hiatus way back before FFR first shut down. When I came back, I was in tears knowing the greatest site was gone. I just about dropped SM too because I was into the FFR and SM community here. It just wasn’t worthwhile knowing it was just a lonesome hobby. I never knew it came back, but something in me today said checked the site. I was breath-taken when I saw the site to be backed. Thank you a million for brining it back, Synth, and all who’s helping him. You’re giving so much more than we can give back! Synth da man forever ! ! !

  317. Huuu the game is not working really well right now :/?

  318. WHOA, FFR is back online… its been a rough year! i have definitely missed this game sorely… grats on your return Synth, im behind you 100%. ive waited many months for FFR to return, a few more weeks of maintenance wont kill me!!!

    Cheers and Welcome Back,

    -{SIN}-

  319. Missed this so much!

  320. THANK. YOU. SYNTH.

  321. Taskmidget in da house! Thanks Synth for bringing the site back up, and thank you to everyone working tirelessly to bring all the functionality back to the site. This has been a community I have been coming to for nearly 7 years now, and I am glad to see it back up and running. Looking forward to some more great times with old friends!

  322. I just came on here today by chance, and THIS is what I was seeing!

    Holy shit…is this a dream? XD

    Anyways, I’m so glad that FFR is up, and running again. I’ve been a member here for 4 and a half years, and I’m glad that I’ll still be a member here for a little longer.

    Thanks Synth, seriously. This has made my day.

    P.S., we currently have over 200 members online (o__0). C’mon, people; SPREAD THE WORD!!

  323. HOLY LIVING SHIT ITS BACK

  324. Zoo really likes this post. Really, really, REALLY likes this post. OMG welcome back FFR!!!! :) ))

  325. so much win ;_;

  326. dude!!

  327. I came in my pants when i realized FFR was back

  328. first i’d just like to say welcome back, i’ve missed you. 2nd, i noticed the highscores aren’t available in-game.

  329. Yes. A thousand times yes!
    I was starting to think it’d never come back!

  330. I would really appreciate it if you could recover Multiplayer
    Because that was one of my most favorite things todo in FFR

  331. OMG! Thank you for reviving FFR! Now I can finally get my old simfiles back that were lost in my last computer’s crash! TYVM

    Did you patch up things with Tass btw?

  332. Er, after you get the database back up, lol.

  333. i need help with my stuff :3 it only plays the notes and the song but i cant play the notes please help me v________________v

  334. Never made a comment here, but it’s obligatory that I’m very thankful for the return of this site. :)

  335. It’s pretty nice seeing the site almost like it used to be. Still a few issues but nothing in comparison to total failage ^^ <3 Cheers, Sythn

  336. Just to be able to see FFR back brings tears to my eyes. Thanks so much Synth for making sure FFR still would live on. There still are a feww bugs and errors but i’m sure it shall be fixed soon. ^^

    Long Live FFR!

  337. OMG. This is my favorite website of ALL TIME! Sooo fucking glad it’s finally up again. THANK YOU!

  338. I had asked Tass to delete a couple of my scores because I FCed them by mashing the absolute crap out of them, and then FFR FREAKING GOES DOWN. That friggin’ figures!

    The only time I asked such a favor too. I don’t want those FCs because the amount of mashing makes them worthless.

    Rant aside, FFR IS BACK!!!!!!!
    Welcome back!!!!!

    So far it looks like everything is the same as before the server went down. My username and password work still at least.

    No kidding, the server was down for a year, but it would SUCK ALMOST BEYOND WORDS if everything was lost. Songs, stepcharts, scores etc.

    I'm VERY glad Synth brought it back, and ***MANY THANKS*** to the creator of the FFR Offline Engine and the host of FFR 2.0 for keeping FFR alive, even when this site was down, and presumably gone for good.

    The unfortunate circumstances that led to this site being down nearly a year, are very small in comparison to a complete loss of the site itself.
    It was offline, that is all it was.

    I'm eager to get back to playing again.

  340. Good to hear that we were never forgotten and we shall rise again courtesy of synthlight :) welcome back everyone!!!

  341. I have found that the rank system still works. Got my best ESC score (2-1-0-0)

    887 9 ESC – Super Version 1,463,705*

    I’ve gotten 3 new personal bests today, including ESC, and all of them recorded and updated properly.

    Grand Total Score appears to be working. I know it’s going up and not staying the same, so it appears to be working properly (should get out a calculator)

    (BTW, any who have said the Grand Total Score is not working, Refresh your screens with F5!)

  342. I was waiting forevvvverrrr! Just can’t wait until multiplayer works again.

  343. Amazing, ive been waiting for ffr to come back the whole year. Great job :)

  344. I <3 Trolls

  345. loooove that its back!!! are you guys still gonna do a top 2000 t shirt??

  346. If i could tear up to this i would
    im gonna tell my friend that its FFR IS BACK!

  347. so i actually have a problem here, i hope it doesn’t get covered by all this SPAM!

    but i can’t seem to connect to prochat D:

  348. I am amazed the site is back. I wasn’t to vocal before it went down. I was really only here for the game. Time to change that.

    Thanks to everyone who helped this site recover. You have my thanks and admiration (even if that is worth nothing to you).

  349. WOW………….FFR…………….IS BACK!

  350. It’s the best day in my life. *____*

    Welcome back!

  351. Ok today I just found out the site is back.
    It was around 1 am when I did
    I literally called all of my dam friends and tried my best not to yell into the damn phone as to how fuking happy I was to see this back online.
    I SPAZZED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE FINALLY CALMING MY ASS DOWN and playing some songs.
    Really glad to be back, and thank you Synthlight.
    I can safely say and bet that everyone here now literally loves you ^_^
    With anyone I know that has stuck with along this crazy long ride,

    Thank you Synthlight. ^_^

  352. Definitely great to see that she site is back up again, many thanks to you Synth! A lot of the mirrors were down because of all the corporate stuff but i’m incredibly excited to see where everything goes after here.

  353. Captain! I’m detecting enormous quantities of win in this sector.

  354. Wow, Synth, glad to hear after so long.
    If you’re interested, I have a friend who kept an off-line version of the engine alive when the site went down, and I really think he deserves some thanks.

    Glad to be back,
    Thissideup11
