The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
DOn't know if you lot have noticed, but this forum has been going down hill for a long time.
Ask anyone who has been around a while and they might agree, but from what i can see, people are getting more annoying, agressive, insultive and all round making this place a worse place to be.
I have stopped posting as much as I used to, this is just one of the many reasons why...

Me and Hedfix aren't spammers. We just are online a lot. If you look at the vast majority of our posts we do actually have something to say.
The place has gone downhill because less and less people actually post anything worth reading.
Come on, fake stories about soloing?!
That sort of stuff is what makes this place go downhill. If one person starts it, invariably a lot of others join in.
There are a whole pile of newbie regulars, who just post rubbish. No offence to any of them, but it isn't as if Gigs or Game Whizz have added much to the forums. But before long they will be regulars.
People like Nash, well he may be an old timer with a new account, but he hasn't done terribly much either.
This was originally a forum for games. It grew into something bigger. And it was good. But then as it grew, less people cared about the games etc and started creating meaningless, pointless threads.
Things have gotten markedly worse since the creation of General Chat. People use it as a place for any old spam.
The game forums are better though, but not that much.

This forum hit the bottom of the hill a very long time ago.
Only because it has become the spammers "hub". With the arrival of more spamming users, it digs it own grave.

Good point.
It's like they're some sort of bacteria, One thread posted by them is just fertilizing ground for them to multiply.
I tend not to post *too much* in here anymore, because most of the posters are general retards, bar a few of course.

Whine whine whine - I forgot that time of the month had came round again when a regular feels the need to make the *shocking* statement that things aren't as good as they used to be. How about you go post something interesting instead of moaning? If you ignore spam, it goes away; if you waste time commenting on it you may as well be spamming yourself.

That's true to a point, but, although I haven't commented on the spam, I have noticed how incredibly more there is now than back in the day (I've only recently returned to these forums).
For all you guys (and ladies too), maybe you should think of reviving the FOG Chat forum - that used to thrive and be the main talking point for virtually everybody here.
And also IGNORE the spammers, surely you should know that reacting to their dross only fuels them more.

I'm 99.9% sure that Matt never came back. At all. Well, he did, as a newbie on my account (and a regular on Memo's account) but he never spammed etc.
It started when the Pokémon forum left. All the newbies used to post there, but not anymore.
I say SR make a newbie forum (modded by two or three Notables, pah). No regulars are allowed to post there, and only the Notable mods are allowed to view and post in the forum. Then, block all newbie posts from every other forum and wham, done/
