Unknown Facts of FFR's past

[qqwref]

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.
