Personalization

Not yet supported, but shortly you may have a way to log into the site as developer or regular user, and Freefire.org will remember the date of your last visit, so you can get a better feeling on what is new since your last read.

Mailing List

The Freefire Announce Mailing List is used to distribute notification of major changes to the site, and the Freefire Bulletin. Use the Mailinglist Link in the Navigation Bar to subscribe to the Mailing List.

Books

Freefire.org is using Links to Amazon.com for recommended books. This is to get some shares of your buys to finance fees for the domain. It should also help you, to easily get a hold of the recommended literature. It really helps us, if you shop over those links. Be aware that all links to books at amazon.com are marked with "Book:" or a picture of the cover of the book, so you do not have to visit amazon.com if you do not wish to.
