The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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've never been on another forum as this site has been my homepage for ages so before I signed up I just used to browse the subjects.
Following on from the 'Mick Hucknall' link posted by Rosalind I ended up browsing through some comments. Today I searched the internet for other forums and boy is that boring.
Of the two or three that I looked at I discovered that other sites tend to be 'fussy'. It took me a while to find one line responses to comments because of pictures, icons and stupid quotes at the end of each message. Also, despite that fact that I can curse with the best of them, I've discovered that I do not like to see excessive swear words on the screen. I know that is a personal thing more to do with the fact that there is one certain swear word that I absolutely detest. I must have visited some poor sites as they seemed very quiet.
So why do I like it here? The forum topics are easy to understand. There is no fussy rubbish filling up the screen everytime someone posts a message. The swear filter is sometimes a little excessive (couldn't believe what I considered to be an innocent word got bounced back to me) but on the whole is a good thing. There is a nice mixture of silliness and seriousness and just a general feel good factor here. I still enjoy browsing through people's silly comments without getting to het up about really irrating posts.
The members are still here whose names I recognise and if a serious debate is started I think there are some well thought out and interesting to read answers, as well as the trash. Oftimes there are just some comments that make me smile while I am sat here.
So yes, I like it here.

I quite like various sections of this forum, but some parts of it are just retard-central, I guess being tied to a games seller and the GAD competitions have attracted a much lower aged demographic than other forums on the internet. The quaint regulars community and the neverending stream of 13 year olds to demolish with witty put-downs keeps me coming back though.
I clicked on one link while searching and after it had loaded I never actually found the forum. A couple of the others just seem to be one line replies, hardly inspirational.
Oh, and then there were the techie ones which went straight over my head.

Yeah, these forums have a charm to them.
Other forums are just boring people pretending that they are cool.
Like TGN forums..

Hmm. This was the first internet forum I ever bothered with.
(Came for the games, stayed because it was good)
Every now and then I've wandered off to look for other forums, expecting there to be a whole bunch that are equally as good. Never found one though...

RIP MILF in UFO KO.
Sad news indeed.

I posted a link last week to a BBC headline about "MILF charged with terrorism", so hoo-ers being terrorists wouldnt surprise

Anyway have I told you about my theory that all prostitutes are terrorists?
*Then there's the forum ijit who thinks he is funny*

I used to spend a ridiculous amount of time on the gamesmaster BBS chat forum about 10 years ago, where I met people and played games of DOOM for hours on end.
This is the only forum I've found that is any cop, and not full of cretins filling up the page with as many swear words as they can think of.
Most of you seem to be decent, intelligent, witty folk, with the odd exception. Spending time on here is the most fun to be had when on the internet, as the rest of it is quite boring, aside from the aforementioned porn, and downloading music off kazaa.
Also, where else do you get the chance to win a game every day?
you're all doing a bang up job, give yourself a pat on the back,
Now I'm going to watch the matrix reloaded.

Equally, beware of people like me; I have a tendancy to take things too seriously and consequently I regularly see my blood pressure skyrocket when reading posts here. At which point, the bile flows freely....
Beware of idiots like me though.
