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.

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.

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 don't really think you're going to attract the hip student demographic to this forum in its current state. It''s just not cool enough

Plus, you have users using words like "hip"
