New FRHD Timeline 2013-2025

So it was FR2, Canvas Rider, then FR3, then FRHD?

 

FR1 FR2 FR2 (Checkpoint edition), Canvasrider, FRC, BHR, FR3, FRHD

 

Dang

 

what's frc

 

Chris123 made freerider community edition shortly before bhr. Didn't last long

 

Ness Calculus Totoca12 Eryp I edited the first post of the thread significantly but it took me an hour to be able to save my changes as it always said "error, must be under 30000 characters" when it is clearly under that limit. Is there something else that prevents posting long posts/threads that I don't know and is there a way I can avoid this in the future or fix it so this never happens again? Oh and btw, I was removing more stuff from the first post after finally being able to save it but it came up with the 30000 message again, it's starting to get on my nerves.

 

pasting your first post into notepad, this is the character count

 

Hmm, don’t know what I was using to calculate it. Thanks

 

Version 3.2

• 2019 and 2023 are split into two parts respectively, appearing on page 3
• The number of featured tracks an author has stated for each featured track
• Roughly added when an author reached Elite Author or earned a trackmaking medal (TBF and subject to change due to a WIP by VIPs and mods for a trackmaking statistics page)
• Added more ghosting-related milestones
• Minor date fixes and adjusted number of Community Classic Tracks featured: 98 total, 90 original, 8 reposted on different accounts (5 by Cataclysm, and 1 by Albatross, Stig and alexander respectively)
• The first post was significantly reduced for clarity and easier reading (only those who have contributed to dates 10 times or more are noted on the thread and a separate counter is kept by me elsewhere for everyone else under 10)
• Notable Threads, Sources and Websites spoiler on the first post of the thread is finished with certain threads being added to the actual timeline too (will receive updates when needed) you will no longer need to search the depths of forums for a certain contest or important thread, it is all here! (24/09/2024)

The next update (coming in late November due to IRL stuff)

• Finish including the rounds of every ghosting contest and adding speedy__XD's 3 contests
• More ghosting-related dates/milestones
• General game milestones
• I am so close to completing the timeline in the way I envisioned when I started the thread! Feel free to comment on anything that has slipped my mind from previous years.

Extra Projects:

• Start to log every deleted or removed featured track and create a separate post or thread about it (maybe in conjunction with what the VIPs and mods are doing/threads they have access to already)
