"Controversial Stuff"

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"?

Dude, it needs to go both ways.

Except it doesn't, because we got enough disrespect to last a lifetime when Freeola first took over and ignored everything we said.

You should be grateful, they didn't have to keep a forum.

We need Snuggly back, tbh.

LOL GOOD ONE

I'd like to read cjh's opinion about all this. He always has something good to say.

You've really, really got a problem though when you're offering free money to people.. and they still don't want to post.

When I can be bothered I suppose.

I also completely agree with Nin's post, for the most part. I think the idea of the WLT in another forum is brilliant!

The disincentive to me is that you can post somethng quite awesome, only to have the day's award go to some spammer copy/pasting movie reviews across the internet...
