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.

So Freeola should be a movie streaming site that works on tablets & smart phones then? :P

pb had the right idea. What do we have now that we didn't have in 2008 that everyone is using? That's right, smart phones and tablets!

I was just watching Spider-Man on my iPad as I was eating dinner, then went in the bedroom and resumed it on my wifes iPhone. Then I went to my office and now playing it on my iPod Touch! The world is a lot different since 2008 when I was chatting on here using my HP laptop slab.

Meant to mention this earlier ....

"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."

Just what is the relevance of 2008? I know statistics are easily twisted, but surely 2011 would be better.

If you want more contributions then you're going to need more than the 5 regular people who post on this forum.

Most of the regulars have aged 8-12 years since joining and don't have the time to post about games anymore. So what you need is fresh young blood.

Unfortunately whenever someone new comes to the forum, they get put off when they see 12 new threads in 4 months and a handful of people talking about the weather in the WLT.

Anyone got any ideas of how to revive the forum and thus get lots of new (lets be honest we all know its poor students) users joining the forum and posting lots of content to win free stuff?
