The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.

It doesn't matter what age you are. If you put so much though into wether you should post or not then I'm sure your posts would be very worthwhile. Don't be put off, we (usually) don't bite

I'm glad you like it here. I for one respect you, and like having you around. Hmm Get on MSN so I can get to know your or something.
This place seems a lot less snobby than many forums. It has proper Staff to look after it which makes it a good place to be. Just befcause its a game forum doesn't mean that we have to talk about games all of the time.
We do have a problem with some idiot members sometimes which bring the place down, but other times its great.
When it comes down to it this is the ideal place to slack off work.
