"Fewer prizes"

Unfortunately, with the reduction in the levels of contributions, there are less "worthy" entries each week for us to consider for prizes. Therefore we are reducing the number of prizes to just one per week instead of two. This will take effect soon, once the changes to the Win Free Games pages are completed.

We will try to encourage our moderators to create some more GAD Challenges.

The number of visitors to the Freeola interactive sites in the past month was 129,000. That's pretty good really, but it is 40% down on the same period in 2008.

Of course if the level of worthy contributions were to increase, we might be forced to reconsider, so we will keep it under review.

Pete! We need a car analogy!

I'll offer one.

If this forum was a car it'd have the engine of a volvo and the bodywork of a cardboard box.

I'd assume it's out in the country judging from the

I remember when they gave away 21 prizes every week. Was it a GAD and 2 DVD wins a day or something like that?

One time I counted 14 new reviews posted in the last 24 hours (which was lower than usual because it was a sunday). I had a look at them and felt I still had a chance to win. So just before midnight I submitted a review of something and I ended up winning. Of course this was about 8 years ago and now it takes a whole month to get 14 new reviews. :(

It use to be a real achievement to win a GAD back then.

Sorry Garin, I'm afraid I've got nothing in the tank this morning...

A Volvo with a bodywork of a box, isn't that technically a Volvo?

Perhaps words like ''hip'' & ''trendy'' should be banned from this site and replaced with the likes of ''beast'' & ''skillz''......? :)

Back when this was a gaming site with a front page of news, reviews and a shop that sold games and consoles. It pretty much had a clear purpose and encouraged gamers to come to the site and post.

While Freeola is a great ISP, the business doesn't quite lend itself to generating as much discussion as something like gaming.

I've been away this week and only just got back...

Thanks @pete_21 :¬D Much appreciated
