Pictures Pictures Pictures

Well.. We finally decided to open a “user photo gallery” sparked by a certain thread on the forum. The gallery is open to all registered members. Just enter via the link on the left menu (FFR User Gallery) and created a nested album in the Users section. You can then upload photos for that album. Just remember.. Nothing offensive or nude is allowed in the photos. Not even a picture of Nestlekwik’s nipple.

Have fun!

Moderation Part 2

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have read all your private messages and have considered each person for the moderator positions in the forums. I have not responded because frankly, there were too many private messages! I did however go through the forums and looked at recent history of posts and how each person trreated people and the quality of their posts.

I will be contacting a few of you in the next few days to see if you are still up for the job.

Cheers,

Synthlight

Everything is ok in Moderation :)

Well.. Many months have passed since we originally started the forum on this site. As a matter of fact I would have to say that it has been about 6 months. In that time the forum has burst to life with 100′s of posts a day from all walks of life. We are now actively seeking additional moderators to keep specific sections of the forum under control.

Do you meet the criteria?

* Lots of time on your hands
* Post whoring annoys you
* You can be kind to newbie’s no matter how annoying
* You understand that certain things are secret and don’t exist
* You have experience moderating in the past
* Understanding of PhpBB forum software

If you are interested, PM Synthlight.

Chitter Chatter

For those interested, the new chat is up and running. You can get to it from the link on the top navigation or on the left navigation. I will try to stick around in chat for most of the day to see what kind of interest we can brew up.

The new chat is irc based and a bunch easier to read/operate. If you use a program like mirc you can join us on server irc.zoite.net in #flashflashrevolution otherwise you can join via a browser by clicking on the buttons I had mentioned.

See ya in chat!

Cheers,

Can’t wait until I have my own computer….

My god, I am going to bitchslap my parents. This is the second time they’ve deleted a file crucial to my Internet browser and I’ve had to reformat. However, after reformating, my WIndows 98: 2nd Edition disk (-_-) crapped out on us, so we’ve been computerless for the past week. I was smart enough to back up my necessary files so I still have the files, but work on them has temporarily ceased. I’m going to pass the stuff along to Synth as soon as I can so he can piece the rest together. Until then, I’ll have to continue my Internet vacation until my dad gets the computer back.

Good Golly .51 Beta Already?

I will give a more extensive explanation in the morning. Just wanted everyone to know that we have released .51 beta tonight. A few significant changes.

1.) the entire hi-score system has been rewritten. The old code was completely scrapped. The new system is completely database driven and (I know you guys have wanted this for a long time) Usernames are only allowed ONCE per song. If you beat your own hi-score, it will just move your name up in the list. I would also like to note that there is no longer the ability to type in your name. Your username is entered automatically if you have a login name at FlashFlashRevolution.com. It uses this information to store your game preferences etc. It currently isnt recording Perfect/Good/Average/Miss and combo stats for these hi-scores but it will in the VERY near future.

2.) I added a small stat in the score screen. Nothing super important but it just shows you how you rank compared to other players of that level with a percentage indicator. I will elaborate this idea in the future.

Please feel free to test it for bugs and let me know what you think. We are always looking to improve on the code.

Don’t forget to clear cache and reload!

Slowly but surely

Well, my first philosophy class was tonight and my promotion is in full effect at work. Add on to that my planning for the big event this Saturday, my girlfriend and I are buying items and coming up with how we are going to arrange and decorate the rooms for the apartment we will be moving into in the near future, working extra to put away some money, hanging out with some friends I haven’t seen in a while and checking out some new games I bought recently, and I’ve been pretty busy.
Contrary to belief, I do not get paid for what I do here. I work strictly on my free time and I’m getting things along as much as I can, but sometimes I have to take care of personal issues, so please have patience.
*UPDATED*
The secret project #2 is now 70% complete. I HOPE (notice hope) to have the project completed by the end of next week, maybe sooner. At this rate, however, it is possible I will have it completed by the end of this week. If I can get a hold of Synthlight no problem when I finish it, there is a very good chance it will be done before this weekend. However, with my event this Saturday, I will not be too available, if at all. I will see how everything unfolds.
************
Also, for those working on secret project #3, I talked to Synth and he said he would set up a way for you to get the songs sometime soon.
Thanks for having patience with us and enjoy the new .50 features.
