Huh. Also did not know that.

I don't remember any ads hanging around here... Then again, I can't even remember what I had for lunch on Saturday.

Yea. We used to have banner ads on the tops and sides with ridiculous things that didn't even cater to the audience. (Car ads, insurance, and a few rumors of inappropriate material.) We also had google ads on the words which is annoying as hell. On his blog he dictates about the campaign on how the site could make money including the idea to be sponsored by a larger company.

The point being not that it was all his master-evil plan but that he's not around anymore because he's in a project that involves contracts and business models. One might think it entirely possible to be a member of BOTH sites with one being at a casual level but since this one isn't about paying out anymore then pftt!

Me too. But as far as I see, tass seems pretty laid back now, maybe more than he was before. But, he did quit FFR due to some stuff.

**kommisar** · 04-12-2011, 12:44 PM

still didn't like the fact that he was very close minded and didn't know much about good new-gen simfiles and basically left everyone hanging for several months without mention or giving power to someone who wanted to do shit (see rebirth getting permabanned and me and patashu getting demoted).

**Mans0n** · 04-12-2011, 01:20 PM

Rebirth0 was perma'd? wtf did he do? 0.o

**bmah** · 04-12-2011, 01:56 PM

Rebirth basically retaliated after no simfiles were produced or judged for months on end. He decided to judge a bunch of files himself, and made an "official" list of accepted songs to be released. None of this had Tass's involvement, approval, or knowing (because Tass was away from the site for lengthy periods of time). When Tass found out that Rebirth was "abusing" his moderation power, he permabanned him. Although honestly, I thought Rebirth had every good intention and motivation to keep the game active. What does that leave you? A power struggle, more or less.

Rebirth0 also fell in love with a dude he thought was a chick on the internet

ITT we reminisce through FFR drama?

Maybe I should rename this thread The Story of FFR: An Inter-Political Fight

Tass doesn't make games -- he makes online walkthroughs and helps manage Thirdstyle.

He hangs out in a few chatrooms now, mainly TS, Kongregate (in my chatroom), and FGL.

You also have to realize, though, that this used to be Tass' job. Synth is not exactly a great businessman (in addition to being a pathological liar). It's hard to work for someone who is extremely avoidant/won't ever get back to you and goes on full-ignore mode when there's a problem that needs to be solved. It's no surprise that Tass started pulling back during the later era of FFR.
