The site returned on October 9th, 2010. The site has also experienced a series of small down times for updates from then to now, so you may have been unlucky enough to check FFR on one of those days. What happened? Well, I'm fairly sure that there was a few hard drive failures and errors, as well as a huge copyright thing going down at the same time. With that, Synth decided to close shop on December 21st 2009 till a few months ago. Not sure if that's the whole story, but I'm think that's why.

Re: FFR is up again?
There were copyright issues about the simfile database, so as you can see it is not there anymore.

Re: FFR is up again?
That's why the simfile database is gone, but not why the site was down.
We can just leave it at "There were reasons, they've been resolved" There are more than enough places where the official reasons are stated if you really want to know. Take you 2 minutes of searching. |

Well, before the crash there was probably 20,000 active users in all...maybe. Currently there is much less than that, the site has been down for a while and people have probably decided to whore something else if they didn't play StepMania over the crash. Word just hasn't gotten out far enough yet that it has returned.

Re: FFR is up again?
Sure it´s great to see that ffr has returned, but the simfile database is gone, which is unforgivable.

Re: FFR is up again?
I'd rather have the site back with the simdb gone than have the whole site taken down because of the blatant copyright issues.

Re: FFR is up again?
I'd like to clarify that this is logged in users. We get a significantly larger amount of unique hits a day.

Re: FFR is up again?
I don't know if the admins know yet but the simfile database is still accessible by going to your profile, going to the "my settings" tab, clicking "signature editor", and clicking the simfile database icon on the left side.

Re: FFR is up again?
It shows the list, but I don't think you can actually download anything though.

Re: FFR is up again?
Well, I didn't bother to play or download any of the songs. I just saw it and I was like "Oh. I thought they got rid of that." It's still odd that they still have the list still there though...
