1) Flood the search engines with adverts for 'free £30 Amazon voucher' for any search. Even fish.
2) Send people round the streets with big billboards on them saying 'the end of the world is nigh...but you could win £30 of vouchers with Freeola Chat'
3) Put up billboard posters on every bus stop in the country while no-one is looking.
4) Give out T-shirts to current members saying 'CHAT.FREEOLA.COM FREE £30 VOUCHER' in big letters and order them to wear it at least once a week. (those who wear it every day will get a free deodorant spray)
5) Create a furry mascot advertising the site and do a deal with McDonalds to give it away in a Happy Meal.
6) Hire a zepplin and write 'FREEOLA CHAT WIN A £30 VOUCHER' on it, then fly it around the UK.
7) Phone in to Radio 1 and local radio stations to enter every competition, then blurt out the website live on the radio.
8) Hire a streaker to run across various sporting events with the website tattooed on them somewhere on their body.

I agree with the reviews coming back as personally it's one of the things i enjoy writing most.
But i disagree that it should be a forum section, this would just mean older reviews getting buried as there wouldn't really be much of a discussion going on and would't really make it popular from a posting point of view, it should get a section like walkthroughs with a search feature.
I doubt very much that many of the lurkers will ever post SR had a bunch of them that probably never interacted. I think moving on to getting new members would be the key. It's all very well getting people to visit the forums but getting them to stay is the main problem. Currently there isn't much discussion really going on.
It's all about the threads that get started, you'll either get one that gets hundreds of replies because people are interested pr you will get less than 20 because it simply isn't something people are interested in.
You can tell from the front pages that Machie has put the effort in to try to strike up several threads, but unfortunately one person can't make the forum work and requires other regular members to put a bit of effort in.

I doubt they'll go that far, I'm just hoping they'll give us a response. If you're a staffie and reading this, please can we have feedback on the suggestion please?
I'm all for the review section to be brought back and maybe Freeola should start selling games to compliment it?
Glad to see people agree with the review forum idea, lets see if we can get it set up the :^)
oh sorry, I thought you were taking a dig at me for using a handbag, it's the latest fashion, I dont go anywhere without my manbag :)
Spot the smiley Mach.
