The people on here, it's former glory i guess and force of habit.

I have issues with the people in charge and i still dont think they're running it very well.

> What things do you love about it?

This place is like the home you cant give up. The gates are rusty, the doors are coming off the hinges, wasters keep breaking in (Yeah you know who you are) and it's not clean and pretty as it was when you moved in but it's still home.

A major overhaul of the moderating system and a return to the old setup would be great. Neither are going to happen though, thats what happens when the lodgers care more than the owners.

Wow I made it onto someone's good lists :-o that's quite amazing!

Don't you worry Nin, we all know how good this place is and could be, so I'm sure some overhaul work will be coming this way once we've got some of our current projects finished off.

That would be great.

Sometimes there are glimmering sparks of interest. Sometimes I am the glimmering spark of interest. :)

The self-righteous, uppity, profane lurkers who ruin it with their disdain.

> What things do you love about it?

Most people are cool. Some are simply judgmental and there's nothing else about them. I find that there is more opportunity to express oneself now..more leg-room to stretch, if you will, and display a personality with opinions all your own without being pummeled, tarred and feathered by the natives for not nodding along with the rest of the bobbleheads.

I wish Freeola would branch out further with it's demographics. I find the chat forums are mainly designed around the old SR theme for gamers. Although we discuss other things, like writing, sports, and entertainment, soliciting broader forums (like home, fashion, medicine, child rearing, education, etc..) might help to increase the volume of participants.. which would, of course, increase the volume of profits for Freeola.

Sure we can talk about these topics in a general forum depending on whether we choose to text talk in General Chat or decide to write with proper grammar in Intelligent Discussion, but unless people on the outside know what this is all about, I'm afraid we'll continue to lack luster. Lackluster.

Hence, I wish for some Freeola lustre.

Gosh well um...

/Hugh Grant

GAD, decent english, a lack of sheep and a music forum that doesn't simply consist of people telling each other they rock because of their taste in music.

Erm, there's a lot of weirdos and to be honest I like you weirdos, you're interesting and you generally don't give a crap about what people think of your interests and that's all good.

All the people trying too hard to be 'cool' left and that's made the place a lot less, well, crap. There's no 'lolz' and 6-year old sarcasm, no emo student whines about how nobody loves them and people here tend to consider comments in more thasn one tone before replying: bloody good place.

The layout, sorry, it's cheap and tacky and looks like a fisherprice website. If I was a new customer I wouldn't trust it upon first glance. Obviously it can't be too flashy but I think it might be worth testing out a few new layouts on the forums and, if they work, applying them to the rest of the site.

Getting an unexpected GAD, that's always good. The range of humour that doesn't rely on running tired south park gags into the ground.

Yeah sod you Machie. :P

Erm, staff webcams... yeah. ;D and 24hr Tonty vision where nothing car-related is ever doing anything wrong. :D

Oh and try to sell me things again, let's have some Freeola goggle eyes made-up or something :D

Force of habit, entertainment value...

Well I have not been on here for ages, so i just popped in to see what it's like nowadays. I Don't know what I dislike about the forums, its been an age since I last came on here. What do I love about it? the sheer randomness of some of the posts.

I've got no idea. But I pop back from time to time to have a look round and see what's going on.


> What things dont you like about this place? (If anything)

Too quiet. I don't 'know' most of the users.


> What things do you love about it?


To be honest, nothing. Which is why I suprise myself by keeping on popping back.

Not really.
