Spontaneous Contest #2034-23
It would hardly be considered normal around here if we let much time pass without a spontaneous contest. Right? Right!
For those of you who have played in the past, you know what you are in for. You understand the grueling dedication, the pain, the laundry on your head and the effort to accomplish the ridiculously accomplishable. Yes, you understand this well.
I am here to tell that the photo spontaneous contest will make it’s glorious return to FFR tomorrow night.
The details will be revealed shortly after 7pm central time TOMORROW.
Have fun and remember to eat your pudding and carrots in preparation for this magnificent event. No, pudding and carrots will not be used in the contest but you will need them to be healthy and strong boned with keen eyesight.
Cheers,
Synthlight
SpinitUP!: Spinfile of the Week
Alright, this Wednesday’s Spinfile of the Week is another one by our contest winner, MixMasterLar!
/DJS\ – Experience [Difficulty: 2]
At a song length of 3:41, it’s a pretty basic spinfile, but hey, after the last couple ones, I think you guys need a break from the crazy spins of doom. 
/DJS\ is none other than musician and forumgoer Starshot, so give him a little comment on his wall for the great music. Our in-house artists need all the support they can get, because without them, there is no FFR!
Also, I noticed the complaint about Lazy and the spinfile’s been edited, so it should end exactly where it’s supposed to now (and it’s a lot shorter than I remember… 1:38).
Thanks again for your patience and for the feedback! Remember, if you have any questions, comments, or critiquing, please bring it to the SpinItUP!.
Love,
iPatcH
Read Token
So… The newest token has been out For..um.. about 30 minutes. The easiest way to find this token would be to sift through the trash at FFR.
Good luck. 
Remember the rules, no hints and no giving it away on FFR.

Songs of the Week, 1st week of March
SotW #1 of this week is R176, cranky‘s song since Party 4U.
Steps are by Exag0n, his first file on FFR.
BPM is fast (190) and a lot of doubles are used, so it’s a fairly hard song.
We rate it mid-high 5/6 (Very Challenging).
You can find this song in Dance2.
SotW #2 is Let Me Be Your Pirate. Song is by DrugstoreCowboy, and hi19hi19‘s steps.
Music and steps are overall at moderate speed, therefore the difficulty is intermediate.
Difficulty rating is 3/6 (Tricky).
You can find this song in Funk.
Enjoy.

Spinfile Contest Announcement!
Alright guys, it’s now the moment you’ve been waiting for! The winner of the SpinItUP! Spinfile contest. The winner of two months subscription personally paid by myself goes to:
Not only did each and every one of his spinfiles turn out to be of super quality, but he was extremely dedicated the entirety of the contest by always asking questions, wanting comments and critiquing, and willing to make adjustments. Expect to see plenty more of his spinfiles this month.
Everyone should leave a comment on his profile wall and congratulate him on a job well done.
The featured Spinfile of the Week is done by none other than MixMasterLar himself:
Freezepop – Lazy [Difficulty: 4]
A nice, laid-back tune, and a song length of 4:54. Pretty chill.
The runner up of the contest our contest is Yesssss.
His spinfiles are also extremely top-notch and we will always be happy and willing to include his spinfiles in our lovely game in the future.
As a consolation prize, his spinfile will also be added to this week’s Spinfile of the Week:
Vospi – Nice Nice Noise [Difficulty: 6]
A counterbalance to MixMasterLar‘s spinfile, it’s fast-paced and pretty short, at a song length of 2:05.
Also, much thanks to all of you other contestants who’ve made this contest possible:

Thanks again for all of your patience and attention for those reading and for those who’ve participated in this whole ordeal.
Love,

Free T-Shirts.. Come Play With Us
So we were ready to try and pay some external companies to display FFR materials on other sites.. We consulted with our subscribers to see if there was an alternative or interesting ideas to take the place of an external company. And that is when the idea of “Come Play With Us” came up.
FFR wants to expose more people to our community and game, you want T-shirts.. So lets work together. We created a way to reward those who want real FFR merchandise and this is how it works:
You link to FFR with code similiar to this (replace Synthlight with your username)
http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/comeplay/withus.php?u=Synthlight
Any inbound links of unique legit IP’s will count as an additional point.
5000 unique people link in and we will send you 1 t-shirt.. no cost.. no shipping cost.
If you look below the profile block on this main page, you will see a variety of people who have already started participating today and last night in this program. It ranks everyone according to their points.
It literally couldn’t be easier to earn a shirt if you are part of a high trafficked site or partake in a popular forum. Just remember to respect the rules of the place you are posting the link to.
Additionally, if you would like to obtain the correct code automatically, you can log into your FFR siggy editor and grab the code from there.

Upgrading Multiplayer Service
*EDIT* Multiplayer service upgrade is complete. If you have any problems, clear cache. Otherwise, it should work fine.
Multiplayer will be down for the next few minutes while we upgrade. I will let you know when it is back. In the mean time go get yourself some single player practice.
Cheers,
Synthlight
