New FRHD Timeline 2013-2025

11/06 - Mint Sauce by Autoa featured

 

Was already updating the timeline for charity stream and top 100 ghosters list dates but thanks

 

06/10/2024
Rotate IV ntbf by Backtwice has a non tas ghost saved to it's leaderboard for the first time http://frhd.co/t/606824-rotate-iv-ntbf/r/theft

 

I'm sorry but that date is way too specific and not a lot of people would not find it interesting or useful, you just became the first person to beat a really hard track (I'm not saying what you just did isn't impressive when it is 100% crazy, it just doesn't fit properly in the timeline)

 

Way more interesting and useful than someone hitting a point milestone.

 

TPlacella dare you to find the original dates of the community tracks from the old sites.

 

hitting 100k points is rare and takes effort, and as I've said on the discord server, if I were to add Cerasium's ghost, I would add other notable ghosts from others too

 

i already did this lmao, i have a doc of it
im missing a couple (mainly the trackmill ones since those forums are pretty much gone and i didnt feel like going through wayback), might pm you asking about those

Green: Date found

Noob defends himself and lashes back here and here, saying he often doesn't feature ghosts suggested for him and both hold back featuring more of their own ghosts. Stig unpins the thread in anger, raising the idea of a better solution to the "featured ghost" concept.

03/05 Ghosting Legend title released on forums by Totoca12 10 players were awarded the title, meeting 1 of the 11 requirements. Anonyymi, Backtwice, Cerasium, Cerulean, Madara, mR..A, RadiumRC, RedOrBlue, Sidewalk and tetrationiscool are the first to receive Ghosting Legend Title. Since mR..A already had the normal VIP title, he is awarded "The Absolute" trophy for being the first player to have both titles.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
04/05 ShamatoZ out of nowhere steals 23 featured ghosts in one day, stealing ghost after ghost with ease. He miraculously earns Ghosting Legend only one day after the title is announced after reaching 50 featured ghosts. List of ghosts here
06/05 ShamatoZ admits to cheating all his featured ghosts after April 29th 2022 using a similar method to how Symantec cheated in the past. He apologizes and plans to leave the community for good.
06/05 Aurora Track Editor released by Ness with cube objects for 3D drawings. Announcement here
07/05 Totoca12 makes a post about the ShamatoZ situation, locking all the main official threads in Races Forums before proceeding with the scenario
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10/05 Totoca12 makes an update on the Official Featured Ghosts thread, removing all of ShamatoZ's featured ghosts. The 23 he quickly stole are returned to their previous owners list here and the other 27 he held are put under review for a feature for those who are in second place on those tracks. ShamatoZ is banned from forums and Official Fetaured Ghosts thread.
11/05 Totoca12 makes another update about removing ShamatoZ from Official Ghosting Awards thread and updating monthly awards for the new winners and top 3 that ShamatoZ was initially part of.
13/05 Totoca12 updates the thread again about dealing with previous cheaters on the FRHD All-Time Top 100 Ghosters List by leaving them on previous lists but putting an asterisk and different colours for unverified ghosters or those caught cheating. Totoca12 goes through the bans on each FRHD-related site and the moderator team settles with a FRHD Community Forums ban for ShamatoZ. The Grace Period is proposed by NotVeryGood to allow anyone in the ghosting community to admit to cheating and owning alt accounts for less strict consequences and dealing with big problems in the ghosting scene faster. Totoca12 makes one last announcement on providing video proof from ghosters who have held at least one featured ghost at some point in time so less suspicion is put on people in the ghosting scene. All official ghosting threads are unlocked on the 15th of May.

29/08 Super Mario World by TPlacella featured, their 1st featured track, entry for Super Mario Maker Contest, counted as one feature. TPlacella earns Recognised Trackmaker medal for publishing 1 featured track ((dantexpress)) The track was initially over 10,000 kb, making TPlacella the 3rd person in FRHD history to exceed the track size limit. TPlacella was unable to decrease the track size due to problems in loading the track and publishing. Elibloodthirst stepped in to help and reduced the overall track code to 9,800 kb. But when Eli posted the track on TPlacella's account, the second half of the track had all the physics lines disappear. Eli and TPlacella fiddled with the code for a couple of days but concluded that it was corrupt somewhere in the middle and impossible to fix. Eli proceeded to split the track in two at the wishes of TPlacella and they were both published a day apart. Both tracks have the featured track ribbon on them but only counts as one feature for TPlacella. (comments by TPlacella)
Super Mario World. 1 (track published 20/08/2023) 5368 kb

Super Mario World. 2 (track published 21/08/2023) 4535 kb

Are you sure about that?

 

must have changed, thanks for pointing this out

 

Ye I must have got something wrong there but it’s fine now. Btw I was just adding the number of featured tracks someone made/contributed to in all the posts and some of the years had to be split as they passed the character limit, hence why a parts of certain years appear on other pages. Also, can I have a word with you about featured track medals, titles and tracking those who participated in collabs? I will make a conversation with a few other people as it may be worth discussing.

 

what happened before this timeline? (like the very beginning) i need the looooooore

 

like other free rider games? a free rider 2 and canvas rider history exists https://www.tiki-toki.com/timeline/...srider-History/#vars!date=2010-09-13_19:57:00!
