yeah, please. I'm dying(Well not really ha) but I'd be willing to do anything.

Yea I wonder what it'd being like there too. It's retarded that it's almost only VIP members as it's not open reg.

But from what I've heard this place is better so I'm here to stay.

Basically, You have to contact an administrator to get in. OR sometimes registration opens for like an hour or a day or whatever.

I happened to contact Nate on his temporary stay here at FBHQ.

qft.

the only good things on FFI is when there is drama. other than that, not much goes on.

fbhq>ffi all day!

just wait for open registrations.

You'll do anything to get on FFI? Okay, this is what i want you to do.




Ask nate.


also, lawl Tim's sig.

This is place is soo much better imo but if you want you can ask someone who has an account to message Nate and he usually signs people up thats how I have gotten some of my friends signed up and he is pretty nice about it

Kid you have been on FBHQ for 6 days! Tired allready?

FFI is alright. Overall, I prefer FBHQ but in the current state, both are great forums for English-speaking fingerboarders. It was very hard for me to enjoy FFI when I first joined in 2008 and I became inactive until I rejoined in 2011. FBHQ has a nicer community, FFI has mainstream news (which will be posted on Unite/FBTV anyway).

I originally joined by sending the admin email a message about myself and wanting to join and they let me choose my own name/password whilst it was closed reg.

Some people also appear to be getting in through contacts or their own status.

Or you can just wait for open registration like I did when I rejoined in 2011. They open it for at least a month at a time, I believe.

haha no man, I love this forum a lot, I just want to try something new.

"Like a Fat boy chasing an ice cream truck"

Fuck ffi. I contacted them over 2 years ago about registering and stll havent heard back.

I never knew it was exclusive, I've been there since 2005 though, and I'm not one of those tards who quit fbing, delete their account, then make another one, then immediately make an "I'm back" thread. Haha

FFI was the shit from 05-08 because it was the place to read about new products, everything was innovative then, og's were posting videos/gave feedback, transactions was BOOMING, Mike Schneider was hated...now it's just a bunch of trolls who are grammer nazi's and form little clicks to pick on people for no reason. If you post a video, your lucky to get 1 comment...transactions is shitty, and most og's are gone...an d Mike Schneider is now a legend, haha

Grammar/spelling was actually a big deal in the early days. I swear I learned more grammar skills from using ffi than I learned in school.

Which all in all is not a bad thing. The internet destroyed grammar/punctuation...if we don't preserve it, it will be lost.

Thom is a modertor of FFI.

Mike Schneider was very hated, as was Flatface. People made fun of him and his company, calling him "Fetus" because apparently he looked like a baby fetus. I didnt see it, i liked the kid. But it did happen, for years.

Yeah i have an account on FFI but rarely go on it FBHQ is so much more active and friendly

I just emailed Nate about it, took a day when he sent an email back asking for my desired username and stuff. I prefer FBHQ over FFI though.
