Title: FFR gone for good?
Post by: Tribal on February 07, 2010, 03:10:45 pm: Is seems that Flash Flash Revolution is down for good and probably not coming back. Not sure of the whole story but it seems there was some money issues floating around and the site was inevitably shut down due to this :-\

More information can be found here: The FFR Lo-Down (http://tasselfoot.com/2009/11/13/the-ffr-lo-down/)

In the meantime, does anybody happen to have alternative to FFR? I can find it kinda hard to replace a site like that, since it was one of the best(if not the best) :(

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on February 07, 2010, 03:36:37 pm: Yeah I was searching google for what happened, and it seems like it shutted down :/

It sucks, because it was pretty popular and had many simfiles

I wonder if they're willing to give the simfiles to someone else for hosting. I didn't go there much but it was very popular :/

Post by: {AP} on February 07, 2010, 06:23:45 pm: I'm not really sure.
The closest thing is Stepmania (http://stepmania.com/), but it lacks the community.

For simfiles, I always used Bemanistyle (http://www.bemanistyle.com/). You have to register and all, but not that big a deal.

Not sure of any alternatives than that. I still only play Stepmania or Guitar Hero as far as rhythm games go.

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on February 12, 2010, 11:32:17 pm: well if you pm yourselves such links, I would prefer that once done, you all immediately delete the sent and received PMs from your inbox, so it won't remain in the database

Nice to see a backup, tho

Post by: {AP} on February 12, 2010, 11:40:08 pm: I have no idea why, but this version is NOT responding to my keypresses at all.
I even changed the keys and tried again with no luck. =(

Post by: cooliojazz on February 13, 2010, 12:12:59 am: Geekboy told me to go to settings and click "Set Speed" when mine didnt respond either, and now it works now. Strange bug... :P

Title: Re: FFR gone for good?
Post by: {AP} on February 13, 2010, 06:12:47 pm: I'd help ya there, but I lost my like 800+ simfiles with the hard drive crash a few months ago.

There's no way I'm redownloading those all one-by-one again. >.>
Title: Re: FFR gone for good?
Post by: Geekboy1011 on February 13, 2010, 06:53:32 pm: X.x ouch that sucks hmm i wonder was it a data crash or like a melt fry crash ?
Title: Re: FFR gone for good?
Post by: {AP} on February 13, 2010, 07:27:23 pm: It was more of a 'I knocked over my tower' crash. =(
Had to get a new one and all... I don't even remember what I did with the old one.
I know I still have it, I just forgot where it is.
Title: Re: FFR gone for good?
Post by: Geekboy1011 on February 13, 2010, 07:38:56 pm: hmm id say grab the hdd plug it in and see if any thing can be salvaged with a file recovery cd ive saved lots of stuff off of "fried" hdd this way :) still looking for suggestions on songs to play btw im a officially a stepmania ffr addict XD
Title: Re: FFR gone for good?
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on February 13, 2010, 11:40:05 pm: Doesn't salvaging a HDD content costs like $300 tho? I remember Sam Heald saying this on Void Productions in 2003 but yeah that was in 2003. (check Archive.org when their archives are back up. 2004-05 archives may have it in Sam Heald plan file)
Title: Re: FFR gone for good?
Post by: Geekboy1011 on February 15, 2010, 04:19:28 pm: well thats if you take it to a specialist im saying plug it in boot a live cd and run a recovery soft ware on it and see what you get

price - 1 cd and some spare time
Title: Re: FFR gone for good?
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on February 15, 2010, 11:30:44 pm: what is the harddrive is damaged, though? (like in Sam Heald's case)
Title: Re: FFR gone for good?
Post by: dragonx254 on February 28, 2010, 09:40:48 pm: If you try to go to the site now, it says "Patience-check back soon" So it must be coming back. Be sure to tell everyone you know that plays it.
Title: Re: FFR gone for good?
Post by: Geekboy1011 on February 28, 2010, 10:03:11 pm: dragonx254 i hope so as well but i think that this as been up and down for a while now as there has been a lot of stuff going on with the ppl who made ffr and such idk but i pray it does come back XD
Title: Re: FFR gone for good?
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on February 28, 2010, 11:55:40 pm: Mhmm I hope it returns. I didn't play but it was a great ressources for simfiles too and large community. I also remember some people who played it a lot. It sucks an active site has to shut down suddently like this x.x

Btw welcome here dragonx254 :)
