The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
For the last few weeks I have seen the rest of this site go down the pan. I used to look forward to the fog chat every morning when I got into work, and would sit there for most of the day.
People come and go, I know. Every day would be meeting someone new, and it would still be fun. The latest crew though (mentioning no names) have been a bit poor, spamming the main threadboard, writing stuff that isnt interesting at all, and generally making tools out of themselves. I look at the FOG chat and theres nothing worth my efforts replying to.
Perhaps a month without GAD woud filter out the people who are blatantly GAD-hunting ro annoyed that their first effort diddnt win from the people who want to be here and make this place the fun it was?
Anyway, the reason that this is in here is because though the other forums have gone to sh---ugar, the web design threads have been interesting, constructive, and generally spam free. I have learned things from topics, met new people, had questions answered and had a good chat, without the GAD-hunters invading.
This place is now my first port of call when I get here. Please dont let it go up the swanney like the others are heading towards...

Same here, this forum is fast becoming my favourite on the site.
I actually have a batch file which launches 3 SR windows (Both FOGs, and this place). This forum is always the one I check first.
I always check it out everyday now and I have to say a lot of my web building knowledge has come from reading the topics in this forum.
I'd just like to say thanks to all the regulars who contribute, you've been a great help to me.
Hopefully in the future I may be able to have something interesting to contribute to it.
Half the people on FOG havent gone on to discuss games, theyve gone on to CHAT.....
They know nothing about games so they "Spam" as we call it....
And before you start slating newbies take a look at my name..... Still a dull, brownie colour..... :-(
That's how it was for me, Noone took any notice until a few weeks back...
