The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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 recently, as many of you know, I have decided to leave this forum. Well I have been in this forum longer than most and it is a bit up-setting to leave. I pumped some life into this forum last summer, doing what I could to help newbies.
Things change, and in my opinin, this forum has changed. I see arguments, I see shouting and I see match after match after match. I see little WWF talk!
On the subject of these matches, I am not putting down the forum's hard work that goes into these matches, I am merely stating that there is to many. The forum is bombarding them. I used to read matches when they were few, but now there is too many. A while ago we had a KOTR, KOTR tag and a Royal Rumble tournament. I ran them and got forum members to participate. I remember Jet winning the KOTR tag, Khazar winng the Rumble, I forget who wins the KOTR singles, but anyway, this was good. A nice match for everyone to read, once a week or two. It's all too much now.
Newbie's. Alot of people are telling me that nowadays the newbie's are ruining the forum. Well yes maybe they are being silly. But have you though of helping, have you thought of inviting them to write matches. What about the Newbie/Regular tag idea that I had ages ago- Im sure Jet, Andy and Kid rock remember that. Now they are possibly some of my best mates on the forums. You could make new friends too. They need your help, they don't know how this forum works, help them become good posting regulars. Shouting and moaning doesn't help. and if they are not prepared to listen- report this post. The newbie's shouldn't be the problem that you make out. When I say you- I mean the forum regulars. So do it for me, a little respect on my behalf- help the newbie's like I once
did. O, and I am not leaving because of newbie's.
I am leaving because I don't feel I fit in any more. There is little place for IB in the forum. IB doesn't want to hurt his eyes reading matches, IB wants to read creative WWF(or any wrestling releated) posts. So for now, goodbye, but I will be here, in a few weeks, round-about No Way out time, to see how the forum is. If it is a bit better, I will porbebly stay, if I feel welcome. For now though, feel free to moan, complain or what not about this post. I may be here tonight to read your views, as they are as valid as any other. Good bye folks, you have been good friends.

I'm sorry you feel that way IB.
At the moment we're doing the maximum amount of matches, I would say. 11 in one week. Hpwever, this is a special event, and will not happen very much, a few times every year possibly.
Newbies are good. More newbies means a better forum, and more customers for Special Reserve. Also, your point about less WWF talk, it's because the Rumble has just finished I reckon, and we're sort of waiting for the next big thing. Also, less than half the topics on the front page are matches, and there are only that many because we had a lot of last week's matches posted on thursday and friday.
Overall, I'm trying to say there won't be as many matches usually as there are now. And anyway, if the matches are bringing new people and making these forums popular, then great. It's what SR wanted, right?
All we need to do is tell the newbies the rule of the forums, and they'll do fine. Look at T-Devil! He's already writing good matches and contributing well. MoJoJoJo knows what he's talking about, and people like MikeAll, Tazz and allardini are keeping this forum at the top of the open forums page.
It'll get quite again soon, don't worry mate. But it's your choice whether you leave or not, and I personally hope you don't.

Hmmmmmm
sad to see you go.
Do what I do, if you want to discuss something then start your own topic on it.
Also stay and make the place better, no point in leaving.
"There's no shame in going out fighting and loosing, it's not fighting at all that's the shame"
Or something like that.
:-)

As I've said before we need a FAQ!
I've tried making a FAQ for the newbies but it didn't seem to get much attention.

The problem was we had a deluge of just-arrived who just want to say something and don't know the way things work. Also while Burnout has got everyone excited, all the challenges and statements going on around it have been all over the place. Next PPV we should have a seperate topic for challenges/threats/etc, to stop the place getting clogged up.

The problem was we had a deluge of just-arrived who just want to say something and don't know the way things work. Also while Burnout has got everyone excited, all the challenges and statements going on around it have been all over the place. Next PPV we should have a seperate topic for challenges/threats/etc, to stop the place getting clogged up.
