[yo man im awesome]

(First of all, this isn't official or anything what-so-ever, I just want to hear what people have to say about this.)

Most, if not all of us here at FFR, love it here. Many of us also remember the days before the site collapsed, and how gigantic the active community was.

I personally would hate to see this site falter to the ground, permanently. I want to see this site come back to life.

My goal is to have everyone come up with ideas on how to bring back the community, old members and new members, and to bring this site back to it's former glory.

I want to keep a list of everything that people come up with here. Mod/Admins, feel free to update it with ideas yourself, since I doubt I'll be able to keep up with people if this turns out as well as I hope.

Everyone, please give me serious answers. I know it's hard for some of you, but at least try.

(This list will have the idea, the person to thought it up, and the post #)

#2 = "um we could put a commercial on tv have a few people who are really good with that type of thing do the video. Also a good way to do it is by making donations for the commercial."

#31 = Honestly i think every post here should be used at some point in time. Also i think there should be a point system so as to perma ban anyone who goes over say 10 points per month. this idea would keep most people acting with some sort of restraint as to what kind of crap they can pull before paying for it.

#12 = "i personally believe we need more talk on a public forum board.
we need someone to actively update a Facebook page.
everyone and their mothers use facebook nowadays. what better way to get the word out?
There is already one made, or i would make one.
i post on my FB everytime i start to play for a while. You never know who might click the site link and sign-up.
I would also like to know if we have full access to the php code for the forums.
If so then i could make up some new icons for the forum board."

#13 = "ways to improve FFR:

- get users off of the complacency pedestal that they're sitting on
- get users to be less rude and more welcoming as a whole to everyone, rather than treating certain people like shit - I mean, look at yaboy; he gets targeted left and right for being a douchebag and acts like one because he knows that no one will ever take him seriously. i've never had issues with him on DF; he's a cool person, but that's just me
- host more events that involve the community outside of the forums; advertise tournaments with larger prize pools on the front page to get more and more people involved - this will cause newer users to trickle into the forums and more involved with the community just so as long as people are willing to be nice to newer communities
- break elitism in a lot of different things, such as segregation of skill levels (which was a good idea in theory, but worked out horribly with people trying to steal the spotlight at the top of the chain), simfiling, etc.
- enforce rules as they're written, and follow through with them for everyone, regardless of who they are. There's a lot of people who think they can get away with acting like pricks to anyone/everyone and that will detract users from joining"

#16 = "SMO has done a great job in welcoming new players and having a nice community as well as eliminating elitism. They could definitely help."

#35 = Since we're focusing on a renaissance in the community instead of just new bells and whistles to add to the site itself, I'm thinking that the FFR "sample pack" on Kongregate that went up before the big crash needs to be expanded and updated. Seeing as I've seen ads in brick-and-mortar game stores like GameStop for the site, this hardly seems like a bad time investment.
