Seamus O’Toole… I’m Ready To Get Drunk!
And why is that, you might ask? Well, for one thing, it’s ST PATRICK’S DAY! For another, any holiday is an excellent excuse to release a simfile. So without further ado, I bring you Pretty Green Onions by DJ Sharpnel (and as always, Sharpnel’s site is NSFW). The file is pretty difficult and quite long. 1608 steps in 3:28 at 193bpm makes this file a Very Challenging (10/12 on the scale). You can find it in the upper left corner of Misc Page 1 for the time being, with it later being moved to its proper spot within Misc.
Little bit of a story behind this file. It all started by pokelda informing me that he was stepping PGO with all 64th arrows (64th arrows are green, for those unaware) as a tribute for St. Pat’s. I thought this had potential, but I needed to see the finished project still. Unfortunately, when Shash and I got down to playing it, it was very very difficult to read. So we were heartbroken, but had to turn down the file. BUT… it turns out that another one of our up-and-coming stepfile authors, Cyanite, had a similar idea, sans the green arrows. So we took his file, which was only finished 2 weeks ago, and threw it to the head of the queue, just in time for today.
So with all of that, ENJOY Pretty Green Onions. And if you’re of legal age to drink, have a beer with me on this most joyous of holidays.

Lots of Changes in the FFR LevelRank Page
Lightdarkness was nice enough to go through and make a bunch of changes in the levelrank page. He uploaded his changes this morning.
If you have never been in to check your level rank, you really should. And if you have already seen level rank, you should take a look at it with a new eye and see the new features.
Thanks again to Lightdarkness for the new additions.
Cheers,
Eighth FFR Token Found!
You guys will be so excited to know that I found the Eighth token for you. It took me awhile and I kept trying but I finally located it’s URL. It looked much like the last token at first but I soon found out that repetition is not such a bad thing. Enjoy!
This is where I found it <-- Click here.

Token #8.. Tonight
We will be releasing the eighth token tonight on FFR. How will you get it? We can’t tell you that. You know better. 
We will announce the Token song, artist a few hints on this main page tonight when it goes up. Remember to keep checking back here.

FFR’s First Convention Appearance?
Yes, quite possibly.. If you live in the Midwest or Northeast, you may want to keep your schedule clear for April 14th. We will most likely have a booth at an Anime convention that Saturday in Ohio. If all goes as planned, I will be there along with some other FFR personalities. I cannot release the full details yet until we get some sort of confirmation on booking but I thought I would give you guys an early warning. We should hopefully have a solid plan in the next week or so.
Interesting? Muahaha. Can’t wait.
Cheers,

Songs of the Week, 2nd week of March
Shash Edit: Incognito has been moved to Dance2, and ESC has been moved to the second page of Misc.
SotW #1 of this week is Incognito, a song from ITG2.
Song is by Inspector K, Steps are by Silver_Brian.
BPM(155) is moderate for this game, it doesn’t have so many 16ths but has a lot of doubles.
The Difficulty Rating is 4/6 (Very Difficult).
Currently you can find this song in Funk.
SotW #2 is ESC – Super Version. Onoken‘s song again since Brightone, steps are by Rebirth0.
Song is relatively slow (137 BPM) but fairly many 16ths are used, plus 32nds are a bit tricky.
Our difficulty rating is 4.5/6 (Challenging).
This song will be released tonight.
Have fun with SotW.

Come Play With Us. Update
Well it has been around a week now that we have had the CPWU counter up and running. I am happy to say that we have had just shy of 1000 people help us out and put their CPWU links up on their own sites and others. This will surely help FFR out with inbound links.
We also have a few people getting very close to hitting that 5000 inbound links. Which means of course, they are only a few days away from getting their FFR t-shirts.
If you would like to know know more about CPWU and how you can get a free t-shirt by helping FFR, read HERE in the Forum
Thanks to everyone who has been helping out with this! We all appreciate the new traffic and members.

Forum Upgrade (part 2)
We are disabling the forum for about 30 minutes this morning during a routine upgrade process. Bored? Check out the radio chat, videochat, or *gasp* the game itself. 
Cheers,
Synthlight
*edit.. Forum upgrade is complete. We may be doing another upgrade shortly that will basically take down the front end of the site including the game pages. During that time, the forum will still be active but everything else will not. I am hoping that the second upgrade will not take more than 30-45 minutes.*
Special Song release! Brightone by onoken
In case some of you haven’t noticed, a special file was released yesterday in honor of my birthday. YAY!
The song is Brightone, by Japanese artist onoken, and the steps are by me, hi19hi19. Brightone is a very upbeat and unique song, and the steps reflect that. I sometimes find it hard to resist getting up and dancing to this song when I play it.
The file can be found in the top left corner of Dance2. Its rating is 4/6 (Very Difficult), so many people will be able to enjoy a challenge while still having fun.
If you wish to discuss the song and file, post in this thread. You can also post your scores in this thread.
Have a good time!
