Crazyness
I apologize to all the 200,000+ members about the last 24hours. We had a database error that I was not aware of. I have been dialing in from Orlando because we are on vacation and didn’t get a chance to see the error until this morning. It was promptly fixed and we are back and rolling again. We also just recently finished running MANY patches and kernel updates to the FFR server and you may have noticed at times certain services were down.
We in fact are not going anywhere. Just preparing for larger things to come. 
Anyone here from Orlando? We are staying at the holiday Inn resort off of International Drive. Not a bad place.. Nice Suite.
Cheers,
Synthlight
IF YOU CANNOT GET TO THE SITE TONIGHT
We are doing some routine maint and patches tonight for the server. This may take awhile and we have actually been running updates since last night.
Fear not, FFR is just taking it’s vitamins.

Busting Butt to get .67 done..
We have been working all day and probably most of the way into the night tonight trying to get most of the .67 features done. I promise that you will get your money’s worth.
I will leave updates here as we progress.
Cheers,
Synthlight
P.S. Decided to let out some of the features that were done already while we continue to work on the final .67 tonight. Clear your caches and reload.. You will notice some new features at the end of a level on the score screen.
*NOTE* The main new feature is not in yet… this could take some time. We don’t want to get it wrong and screw everyone over.
*UPDATE* – We are still going to need some more time to work on additional features. Would you guys rather I tell you what the new big feature is now and then continue to work on it?
Original Holy Night Remix Replaced
We had 2 versions of the Cranky Party 4u song in the shop. The first one included triples and most keyboards do not support this. In response to that problem we created a second version without triples.
We then put up a vote asking people what they wanted to do with the original version. People overwhelmingly voted to have a new song put up to replace the original. So in it’s place you will find the AIM Anthem from DJ Aerogroove at 1000 credits. Definately not your normal song and As always, this is not a stepfile for the weak. We will be testing it this morning to fine tune it.

Xbox Live
So tonight I was playing DDR Ultramix on Xbox live when I hear “Is that Synthlight from FlashFlashRevolution?”
Freaked me out! But yes that was me on earlier for those people who were playing live. Btw I wasn’t using a controller. I was using a pad with a PS2 adapter. No mic
And since this is really not a newsworthy topic I will end it now.. lol

.67 To Be Released on Friday!
Normally I don’t announce versions ahead of the release but since we are just finishing up a few last features before the new version launches, I feel confident we can deliver on this date. I will not however list the features until release time as you never know when something may not go as expected.
I personally think that one of the features will be as revolutionary as the shop/credits were when they became part of FFR, maybe even more revoutionary.
Can’t wait to get the version out. If we finish sooner than Friday then we will release sooner.

<---- Our online store now accepts credit cards (SSL Encrypted) and Paypal.
As most of you know the store called Music@FlashFlashRevolution (supports the artists that contribute to FFR) has been open for a few days and I thank everyone who has purchased the FGJ! Music Pak 1. I know that a few of you had some questions and I wanted to address them here.
1) We now accept credit cards and paypal for online purchases. The money is sent to the artists by me personally and I couldn’t be more happy. It makes me happy to give something in return for them being so generous to us.
2) The way you receive music depends on the artist. Some artists (FGJ!) allow their files to be downloaded after purchase while some may only want the CD printed and shipped.
3) All transactions are completely secure and are in SSL (https://)
Thanks again to everyone has purchased the FGJ! Music Paks.. Look for more titles from other artists to be available soon (Rage, Kankaoh and many others).
Cheers,
Synthlight
P.S. GO SUPPORT THE FFR ARTISTS!!! THEY MAKE THIS GAME POSSIBLE.
Thank You Toby Emerson
In the past few weeks I have received multiple emails about a song on FFR called “Tri-Melodic”. I decided it was time to take the issue up with Toby Emerson and ask him what we should do about this issue. Luckily he was nice enough to endorse the use of his song in FFR… which… of course made us very happy.
So thank you Toby for letting us continue to use the song. For everyone who wants to learn more about Toby Emerson and his incredible music, please go to:

and check out his tracks. Amazing work.
Cheers,
Synthlight
