Re: Unknown Facts of FFR's past
Oh yeah, what was with all those female + cat avatars? I think Tibs had it and I definitely know some other users did
Also what was the deal with female's ban? I just remember female was a really good player back then but I never was a forum goer back in that day.Last edited by DossarLX ODI; 10-1-2012, 07:40 PM.Originally posted by hi19hi19Comment

Re: Unknown Facts of FFR's past
In late 2002/2003, you could download FFR as a standalone application with the songs built in. I think the download page was left up for a while, but it got out of date with the web engine pretty quickly, and was never updated after a while.
Until a little after FFR's return, almost all of FFR's disabled files had a top 200 scores page, and were visible in the level stats. I believe there were over 400 disabled songs at the time, the majority of which no one remembers. I'm sure most recall Chrono Trigger or FFR Special mix, but the disabled list was mostly filled with files that never made it into public release (like A Baleful Aura In The Graveyard Of Broken Gears, or Welcome to the Black Parade).
More recently, something I don't believe too many people remember was the removal of the file Hyperactivity.Comment

Re: Unknown Facts of FFR's past
When 12 Bar Bloops came out, I remember Dossar saying that it wasn't going to be AAA'd because of the ending patterns. Of course he did end up AAAing it himself on a lucky run relatively soon after that, and now it has 8
The home key password box was pretty cool. For a while, you could play FotBB by using the password "fotbb" - I think this was actually the only way to play it for a short period after the release.
When Captain Jack died (and one year after it) FFR released a special Captain Jack file that was available for a day or so.
Synesthetic (FFR edit) used to have a really fast jumpjack at the very end. Eventually this got fixed - by adding a new version into the game. For a short period both versions of the file were playable, and eventually the old one got completely deleted (unlike most of the old secret/widget files, which were left on the site but put in the Disabled genre).
The files for Skellybones and Dendrite were the result of a step contest held in early 2003. Dendrite was stepped by "Bryan B" and Skellybones by someone called "Pockets" who apparently didn't even have an account on the site. At the time, the FFR converter could only handle DWIs with constant BPM and nothing more complex than 16th notes, which is why Skellybones got offsync at the end.
The FFR converter used to have an error which changed the positioning of a few jumps in certain files, notably Revolutionary Etude. That's why the patterns are different from the version released for Stepmania.
There used to be an error in the converter that caused some files to have all red notes after a certain part (IIRC, a 12th or 24th would do it). EHHS and Grand Galop Chromatique were affected, and I think a few others.
Speaking of Hyrogashi, Chrono Trigger apparently had 64th minijacks in it, causing the infamous 0-framers. Hyro claimed he AAA'd it one-handed.
And boos broke combo.Last edited by qqwref; 10-1-2012, 08:31 PM.Best AAA: Policy In The Sky [Oni] (81)

Re: Unknown Facts of FFR's past
Velocity after seeing how trashy this chart was, decided to troll the community and say if it was FCed it'd get in game permanently, and gave only a day to do it I think it is.
Dossar obviously rose the challenge.
It was luckily kept out because this chart had 0 framer 32nd jacks...
Well, among other... Numerous... Issues...
Yeah I was a ****ing idiot.Last edited by Xx{Midnight}xX; 10-1-2012, 08:37 PM.Comment

Re: Unknown Facts of FFR's past
I think we still do this every year on October 21st, as a sort of tradition. (Surprisingly tricky for what would be an 8 on the old scale, what with the white background.)
What I'll choose to bring up was the addition of Force of Light as a "super secret" secret file. If you had enough credits, it would initially appear as if there was no song there...the song title was even displayed as "Not Available." However, the ability to select this song (as well as the fact that it was 13th in the list, thus creating a page 2) were giveaways for some people.
Also, the usage of square tiles to select songs from the wheel. The FFR Community Engine still does this.Originally posted by thesunfan

New history, but still lost
Did you know Variations 2, Guitar sounds, Grist, and {Lazy Summer days} were all released at 1.5x rate? They were FGO, FGO, FSO/Brutal/Ridic, and Difficult rated then.Comment
