The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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 today is the second day in a row that the forum is as dead as a doornail.
Why?
I know that some people regarded as good posters are leaving for reasons beyond their own control, or for decisions they have had to make that make the forum an unfortunate casualty by their leaving. I wish those people luck in these changing times. I also know that the reasons are far more complex than to ever be pinned down. We've blamed newbies, we've blamed Newbies, we've blamed spamming, we've resorted to the fact that times change.
Here is another reason. People have talked about a decline in the forums posts, and the quality of their posts, but I've also noticed a decline in replies. Maybe people don't feel all these posts are good enough to warrant a reply. Maybe people are being lathargic, but if people are neglecting to reply and encourage new posters in the forum, they are taking part in the demise of this forum.
Instead there is a distinct lack of replies. No one seems to want to comment any more. People are leaving like rats abandoning a sinking ship.
Maybe they're right, maybe the forum is doomed,
but if they were really that bothered perhaps they'd make more of a concerted effort to save or salvage something.
People have friends here.
People find solace and therapy here.
Yes, it is only a forum, but I'm sure that for some people this is an important place.
Isn't that worth making an effort for?
