The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
I'm in complete agreement that the Life forum has gone downhill, and I do believe that the change of it's name to intellegent discussion is a good one, but people are still going to post here about things that would be more suited to Chat regardless of the name of the forum or the warnings that the Life regulars give them.
But as much as it's not nice to see people posting in here about what they had for breakfast or whatever, for me it's worse to see people replying "Stick it in Chat, muppet!' and the like.
To me, It's harming the forum more than the original post. It keeps the chatty posts at the top of the list, and prompts more, similar replies, but that happens everywhere.
More damaging though, is the fact that we are closing off the Life forum to new users, and setting an image of ourselves that we don't chat to anyone unless they can hold their own. It's almost elitest(sp).
At least if you're gonna slate a rubbish post, do it in style/with humour?
