The only very few times I played a buggy game, it was a low end game which didn't cost me much to buy. Raising the "good games are those you pay for" even higher...

The "Best of" games list. Abandonia DOS has one, why not us? And what would go on it? I'm thinking maybe ADOM, Wolfenstien, Tribes, Battle for Wesnoth, and a few more because I am lazy to think.
As for the rest, I'm still standing by my point that freeware is there, it just doesn't NEED to grow. The freeware scene will never be a big bustling community. It can't, because it isn't made that way. It will be primarily a bunch of people who know what they are talking about, and then a few lurkers who find good games to snack on in the middle of pirating Quake or something. For those who want it, it is there. For the rest...I think more people play freeware than we think. Look at download.com. Look at Gamespot and 1up's various download features. GFW has Freeplay, PC Gamer has their demo discs.
What am I saying? I am saying it again: Freeware is there, there is proof, there is people downloading the games. It's just not obvious, and it's not on this site.
Rabbleous rabblerousers. Christ on a bike. Quite naturally people took you for a lunatic. Your only salvation now is complete rest.

It's an idea, a good one at that. I'm not at my own PC right now so I won't have the time to right a lengthy reply just yet, I'll get around to it soon.
Is it the profile of reloaded that needs to be raised? Or should we focus on making things here more interesting.... and in turn reel more people in.
In truth, we have a large enough community, and pool of active members to keep the site sexy for years to come. Problem is, some of us (myself included) have lost interest over the last few months. This is my first visit in a few weeks, and in the last few months I've made maybe two-three postings. I once visited here daily, and was always eager to check out the new games,articles,interviews and postings. That interest has slowly faded, things are less fun nowadays. I think the addition of a few community features that keep "us" talking on a semi-regular basis is sure to both entertain and entice newcomers. Would you, as a newcomer to the site/forum sign given the current climate?
I've been waiting for the site to "grow-up" and get out of the starting gate. In my opinion we're not quite there yet. The site for me is stuck in some kind of awkward limbo.
Enough of my rambling, I'll write a more concise reply when I can.

Rather than rehashing a bunch of old stuff, and giving my opinions on the causes of problems for this site, I'll just state my basic opinion. If we want to rev up Reloaded and start growing again, here is my very simple proposal:
- Less talk, more action - volunteer to do something rather than pointing fingers at someone else for not doing it (case in point, about 90% of the reviews we receive are from DD or Frodo, kudos to them, shame on the rest of us)
- Participate in the community - if you want it to be active, make it active
doodoodoo!!!

Is there no other games you are interested in? What about reviewing the Win Mbt game? If it is freeware, I'm sure a lot of people would like to see it on the site. Or maybe there is a similar game that you enjoy?
And it's good that you are being active. Keep at it.

Besides, it's good to be open minded and step outside the box once in a while.

Ya know Juni, thats why there is the list, where ya put your name down or add a game to the list then put your name down to review. Does wonders ya know.
If there is a game on the list and someone has their name on it, I don't touch em, I move fast when I review, take screenshots then write and bam its done, ya can always pm me if theres a game your wondering if I've worked on or thinking about doing it, little communication here and there to keep a heads up on what your thinking, since I can't read minds.
