Leap Year Day SponCon!!
Leap days fall every 1460 days or so, but are rarely celebrated.
So, I figured we would change that for FFRs 3rd leap year day with a bit of a FREEDOM DiVE giveaway!!!
For those of you that are unaware, FREEDOM DiVE by Xi, (stepped by hi19hi19) is a token that was given away in december as a part of the cross-event with Thirdstyle.
This token will also be given away to the top 5 in a highest unique score contest! Regularly, a AAA is the best score possible on any given song. But if more than one person submits a AAA, the score is no longer unique.
The song you will be playing is Space Entropy (cry4eternity) – Misc / Very Easy / 1:37
Your job is to submit a score as high as possible but with it remaining unique to everybody elses. This will be based on raw scoring, so ignore the total score in your results when deciding what scores to submit, though there are a few other things to keep in mind when entering.
____________________________________________
Each member will be allowed 2 submissions
The submissions must be a legitimate screenshot
Both submissions must be in the same PM
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Submissions are CLOSED!!
If you’d like to see the results or weigh in on how this event went, feel free to visit the thread.
Now, unfortunately I couldn’t give away tokens to everyone, but rest assured that there will be another FREEDOM DiVE sponcon in the near future~ So congrats to deadpony, andy-o24, wildfireskunk, Crazyjayde, Breakdown16 & all of our other entrants that helped make this SponCon a success, also for all of the positive feedback in the PMs (you guys know who you are <3)!!!

Will you marry me?
For the next 24hrs, a special edition FFR Valentines Day file can be found in Misc. The song is Miles away, by an awesome band ‘Years around the sun’. This video was a combined effort between myself and our epic resident artist darkshark.
There is a reaction video on youtube , Katie was completely unaware of this video, or the fact that I was recording. (Spoiler Alert! She said yes! ;D)
This file is here for a limited time only! Play it, and post your thoughts guys!~
Happy valentines day

Close in second place was Silvuh, who is the lucky recipient of the 10,000 credits and the same prochat userbar choice for 3 days.
Now, we couldn’t just leave it as that because there were so many awesome entries, so in a tie for 3rd we have Cold Kitten and the winner of our last SponCon TheThong, who will given a bonus prize of 5,000 credits each!
All four of these banners will be randomly chosen each time visit a new page until 6am on the 15th, at which point the site will return to its familiar blue theme once more. And to all of the other users that submitted their art, you will be rewarded with 1,000 credits for your efforts, and as promised your names on the front page.

Along with this, I’ve released a new Velocity Engine update with a new noteskin thanks to darkshark. The new engine is called ~Alone~, so enjoy!
Valentines Day SponCon!
~Valentines day~
A day that brings about thoughts of love, togetherness, flowers and candy. So here at FFR we’ve decided to let you guys have a go at making something special to grace the site for this special occassion.
Using the the current logo/header as a size guide, create your very own valentines day themed logo for ffr! Standard sort of rules regarding what material is permitted on the site apply, but the size must remain 362×108 pixels. You may use any programs/medium that you’d like (no .gifs please, static images only), and any colour scheme as long as the site name is still present.
EDIT: ~Entries are now closed~
The entries can all be viewed in this thread.
The winner will have their FFR logo used on EVERY page of the site for the complete span of Valentines day time zones
from 6am on the 13th, through to 6am on the 15th (-12GMT to +12GMT).
On top of that, the winning entry will gain themselves a pink/purple userbar in prochat for 7 days + 40,000 credits!
The runner-up will receive their choice of a pink/purple userbar for 3 days + 10,000 credits!
All other valid entries will receive a small credit prize for their contribution, and their names will appear on the front page when all the winners are announced!! So get designing, dazzle your fellow FFRians with your mad skills and feel the love!

Message from CBR
I would like to thank all the artists who sent their tracks over the last few weeks to this compilation of music. I never thought we would receive the amount of submissions from all these talented and diverse artists on FFR, but to my surprise the community was very involved and active which I believe foreshadows greater things to come. With the advent of the official FFR Label artists and listeners alike can expect a great medium to hear new material and be heard.
Expect more releases in the near future and, most of all, enjoy!
P.S. Feel free to step any of the songs on this release for FFR!
re: Official FFR Label
The focus of the development team has been elsewhere in very important places for the last month, so this idea has not gained much ground. However, if there is enough support for this project then the team will attempt to give it a little more attention. For more information please visit the thread.
(Don’t be afraid to post your ideas, criticisms, or voice your support!)
