Yes, that would be me. Einherjar, which review of yours is waiting to be added for 3 weeks? I seem to have lost track of it... and which game did it take weeks to receive? I don't read PMs every day, but I do answer them every 2-3 days so I find it pretty impossible that I haven't answered for weeks as you put it. And also, adding a game takes time too, so I can't add 10 games per day because that would take an entire day. We try to do it every day, but since Wendy and myself are only updaters at the moment, its pretty dificult to keep everything running in tip-top shape. I admit that I don't have enough workforce, so if you would be willing to take up the task of organizing reviews, and moving completed ones to appropriate locations, I would be more than happy to assign this to you

My whole frustration came with the dependence of email to gain access to games to review. The most recent game I reviewed took the longest because of a problem you had with your email that prevented you from receiving my request. I waited a week before contacting you again. After this, I finished and submitted my review along with screenshots and a request for another game.
After I submitted the review, I was contacted by an irate reviewer who wanted me to "share notes" with him on the review (I work alone, of course) because he really wanted to review the game instead. I then suspected that people were getting games faster than I.
I'm not mad at anyone for this, and I don't care how soon my reviews are posted. I don't review for gratification, rewards, status, or recognition. Abandonia needed reviewers, and I wanted writing practice.
The only purpose for this thread was a request for a more efficient way of receiving games to review. As I said before, I understand that those who run the site are often really busy (which is why I never email for help). I, however, see that there is an advantage for people who don't need spend most of their time on the computer trying to figure out things. I barely know how to run Windows, let alone run an FTP server or whatever FTP does.
I'm not mad at anyone for any reason, and I didn't start this thread to argue.
