Re: What's happening in here?
I'm pretty understanding of how busy Synth is. Guy has a high-profile job, a family, a life outside FFR.
I'm not understanding at all, though, of how he keeps promising stuff then disappearing, followed by not even acknowledging he's disappointed thousands of users (okay, dozens at this point, but when he first started making unfulfilled promises, it was thousands). I'd much rather he just actually admit he's too busy to properly oversee the site and delegate that responsibility.

Re: What's happening in here?
Wasn't this the exact reason why this thread started? Poor communication between users and staff. I'm not having a go at Synth, I understand he has a busy life outside of FFR, I (and every other regular) would just like an update every now and then of what stage the updates are at, regardless of which staff member informs us. Correct me if I'm wrong but the only communication I've seen from staff is from Dossar and he's doing a mighty fine job but that's only to do with the batch. What about everything else that was discussed? What's being done to reel in more players and ensure that they're sticking around? What initiative has been taken by staff to push things forward? Anything being done towards communication issues between staff and users & staff? What about the OT? Just a simple 2 sentence answer to any of these would be appreciated by the entire player-base.
I don't want this message to come across as aggressive, it's just that this thread took off from the start and was looking quite promising when multiple staff and admins were chipping in but now it's basically dead and very few things seemed to have changed. Also, mentioned earlier in this thread, some staff apparently have his phone number. Is there any possibility of sending a friendly text asking what stage things are at?

Synth/the active partners could then advise the PR about what's going on and the PR could post these updates on the front page. The current users remain happy at seeing updates, the PR keeps us social and builds up a bigger user-base and the active partners take forward Synth's plan to make FFR a self-sustaining site. |

I haven't heard jack about anything else that's going on and I'm just to the point of giving up. I have little motivation to push for anything anymore when there's still no communication going on between all of the staff. If anything has been happening it's out of sight from most people. I mentioned earlier in the thread that I had tried doing this with the what's happening posts I was doing, I wasn't given the information needed to put anything up on the dev end of things. All I was able to do most of the time was put up SOTW type stuff and (user) events.

Re: What's happening in here?
The only staff I've seen doing anything: Dossar, Psycho, Lurker, Badman, Silvuh, Hi19, OWA and Foxfire. A few others might be doing things too, but after following as much as I could the past week, these are the only people I have seen here doing anything so therefore if you are doing something too and are on staff, it's not being communicated with the players well imo. Shout outs to those cool people aforementioned~

Re: What's happening in here?
bump
I feel like we're stuck in limbo right now, and this isn't a good thing. I don't want to put any pressure on Synthlight right now (I sympathize with any schedule he is on right now), but it is not normal that we don't have any global plan yet; who should be in charge of inter-communication between each part of the staff and the community, what are the tasks that are deemed the most critical, what should be fixed in what timeframe, etc. Dossar made a thread yesterday addressing communication problems within different parts of the staff, proposing ways to move things forward, yet barely no one left any feedback. Are we under the impression that we still care about the website ? I have the upmost respect for people that are willing to help. I applaud Synthlight for getting back here and trying to fix things, but so far, nothing tangible has come up from the highest section of the staff. Leadership must come from the top, not the other way around. I feel like reposting this post too : Quote:

Re: What's happening in here?
I can't find the quote by Psychoangel but she was right; everything went back to the way it was before this thread with the exclusion of Dossar taking charge of things and actually getting FFR Progress done, Max fixing the ability to delete Replays once again (and mentioned level rank clearing in another thread to fix things further), and the other staff teams that are currently working on their own things (Wiki Staff is still cranking their business the most effectively of all of the staff teams on FFR, Difficulty Consultants getting their own changes and discussions done, Simfile Judges cranking through new batch thing and the Hard Songs Batch, and the Event Staff still doing the TCG and I would assume working on a future event).
I don't even want to say this, but it seems like Devs are visibly the ones with little to no transparency along with Admins coming into thread or saying words that doesn't result in actions. I'm not bashing Devs specifically here, but it is visibly one of the biggest problems with Staff.

1) Do these Devs know the current standing of the Staff Structure? Do they know exactly what Staff is like for FFR? 2) Are they going to be silent and in the back like most devs (excluding PrawnSkunk)? Are they going to even last for a healthy duration where the new devs actually get things done? Similar to qqwref; he is qualified to join Development Staff due to his Saffron Engine work but doesn't want involvement in Staff due to his own reasons (logical reasons might I add such as Staff being in huge disarray). Dossar deserves a lot of props and big ups for being one of the only people to display a lot of transparency because of this thread and it led to the Weekly Batch Updates, the Hard Songs Batch, and other things he is working on. Other people have mentions too (Prawn fixing Replays is huge) along with those whom I don't know what is going on because they aren't disclosing information to the playerbase/public.

Hi19 stepping up helped too and I'm not sure what he has planned but at least he's transparent, brutally honest, and still getting shit done.
