4x the fun on Tass’s day of birth
So, in honor of my birthday, I have added 4 new files for everyone. Why 4? Because 2007 marks the 4th time that I have shared my birthday with all of the fine folks on FFR. 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007. My 20th, 21st, 22nd, and 23rd birthdays. No link for 20th, as I really wasn’t posting on the forums then. And please do not bump the old topics… but feel free to read and enjoy them.
Onto the SONGS!
That is Fair is our first addition from Vospi, although expect a few more in the near future. It is of Very Difficult difficulty, having some 16th streams with 32nds mixed into it for fun. Great song all around and excellent steps by mass stepfile producer hi19hi19. It is located on page 1 of Dance2.
Aztec Templing is a remix by our very favorite DM Ashura. The original is by Hi-G. Quite unique in sound, and Very Challenging in difficulty, mostly because of the 205bpm 8th jumps that cause the jack bug to take effect. Oh well. This can also be found in Dance2, page 3. Stepfile by our other mass producer of awesomely quality files… Rebirth0.
Troglodytic Epica is our first song DJ Sane, who goes by Sane here at FFR. The song is Epic Trance, and has a larger than life sound that will keep you playing for all 4 minutes and 31 seconds. As with most of the files by dore, this one is not overly challenging, but the length alone makes it difficult. There is also one small jump-burst section that could prove a bit tricky. We rate it Difficult and you can find it on the last page of Dance.
Finally, we have {Blaze}, by highly popular cornandbeans. Stepped by Kit-, this file is a fun fix of jumps and stream. Fairly challenging, we rated it a high 4.5/6, or Challenging. If you enjoy the song {Rose}, you’ll love {Blaze}.
Thanks again to everyone here on this site. Without all of you guys, I wouldn’t be so motivated to do all the things that I do around here.
-Tass… little bit older, still working on getting wise.
Page Load Speed Increase
There should be a very significant increase in page loading speed for those of you who frequent places like the front page, site credits and especially the profiles. Sometimes the speed difference may be atleast 10X depending on how many avatars that page shows. Of course this not only helps people that use these pages but the site overall as the system load has dropped significantly as a result. Levels should load faster, forums refresh faster and a generally fresher feel to navigation.
Why is it faster? Because Mr. JasonKey found a way to change and greatly improve the loading and the lookup of the old profile code. Go send him a thank you on his profile or something. 
Cheers,

SOTW #2: Science Genius Girl (lameboy mix)
Song of the Week #2 for this week was released last night, Science Genius Girl (lameboy mix). Song is by Freezepop, and steps are by hi19hi19. The song is not that fast (138 BPM (Beats Per Minute)), but long trills at the middle of the song are fairly hard, so we set it at high-3.5 on the difficulty scale.
You can find this song in the upper left corner of Misc section.
Let’s enjoy.

SOTW List .. Yes, We Fell Behind Posting But They Are All In
We’ve been falling behind lately in the announcements on the Songs of the Week. Sorry about that, but this will get it all caught up.
Added last Friday (February 2, 2007) was Destiny, our first collaboration simfile. What’s a collaboration simfile? It’s just one simfile, with one set of steps, done by two people. This simfile was done by Rebirth0, AND i love you. Song is by Smiley, and can be found in the first page of Dance2. It’s a fairly easy simfile but it has a couple difficult parts, which is why this simfile is a 4 on the difficulty scale.
—————————————————————
Added last Sunday (February 4, 2007) was World of Dreams. Song by DJ Karbon, steps by hi19hi19. There are hundreds of jumps in this simfile, but that doesn’t mean it’s hard, or not fun. It is fun to play, and it’s only a 3.5 on the 6-point difficulty scale. It can be found in the third page of Dance.
—————————————————————
And now for today. Our SOTW#1 for this week is {Frozen}. A nice addition to the collection of cornandbeans simfiles we have in the game. Bahamut-X did the steps to this song, and they’re not as easy as you would expect. This simfile has quite a lot of 16th streams and 16th jumpstream, which is why we rate it a 5 on the difficulty scale. Right now it can be found in the first page of Dance2, but it will soon be moved to the second or third page.
Have fun,

2nd Token Song Released
So you have already found the first token on the site? Ready for the next one? Of course you aren’t! 
The next token song is available if you can find out how to unlock it. As always, I cannot give you any details on how to unlock it. And remember, no giving away clues on FFR. If you are found giving away clues or the answer it will result in a ban.
