The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Well the new design seems OK, though the avatars are a bit repetitive and they do create a lot of blank space in the listings.
Do the avatars deter new users?
Work is progressing on the chat forum system to enable you (Freeola customers) to have ready made forums on your web sites.
Freeola Bingo is much improved now that it runs constantly. Originally suggested on the forums, Freeola Bingo was intended to give the forums a boost. By the way, it's not intended to be a permanent fixture and Google won't allow us to advertise it, even though it's free.
The site gets thousands of visitors and hundreds of new sign-ups per day, but this is hardly evident on the forums.
It does not seem worthwhile to me, to have eight different forums generating small numbers of posts. Maybe there should only be one.
As the rest of Gameaday is games orientated wouldn't it be better to have one focal point and declare this a games forum. After all you can still chat and post intelligent threads or stories, or talk about wrestling, regardless of what the forums are actually called. Back to our roots perhaps.
Or have chat forums "had their day"?

I searched "Tony" in Google images and got some guy standing at a White House podium telling people what to do. That's not me at all.

This is all so chicken and egg. Do you need a good userbase before you can bait them into chatting with GADs, or do you need a bait of GADs to attract a good userbase?

Tony was old when the world was still young.

While we are considering changes the invites to set up new forums will be removed. People will be able to do this on their own sites soon anyway.
We're going to try a couple of things which might help to encourage activity (as soon as we can muster the time). Watch this space. Bye for now.
