The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
Even though it's now we're a big part of the happy freeola family, I still think there could be a place for gaming news. It would be an ideal companion to the cheats section and encourage more traffic on this site (plus for the company, naturally).
You could even get us to contribute, I wouldn't mind writing articles for an official looking news page.

User generated content is the road to the promised land, the rest of the internet realised this 5 years ago. I suspect it might take Freeola another 5. :P
Obviously there are various factors to consider but it looks promising. I or someone else will get back to ya'll on this soon :)
I should have more faith! :)
Having a games news section would hopefully give people more to chat about on the forums (especially if linked to them in some way) and may increase regular visitors :)

I wouldn't mind helping out as well. If you are worried about the content, maybe have it checked by a staffie before it gets published. Not wanting to put too much extra work onto your busy workload mind.
Like you say though, if the forum members themselves were to post the news, it could work - but then I think it's doubtful we'd be able to post anything unique that couldn't be found elsewhere.
There's nothing I can think of to contribute, so really I should just shut up ... :)

90% of the time that's probably very true for every gaming site on the net, unless you're someone like IGN perhaps... or have a cool uncle that works for a game developer.
But it's what this site is missing anyway - an online blog/news area specifically aimed at the gamers' scene :)

...Fairly sure Chat, Cheats & Walkthroughs are all user-generated?
