+100 “4 Free Greencards”. Congrats and Thank You friends !
Hi friends!
This “4Free Green Revolution” is, first of all, a recognition of your amazing activity on 4 Free. THANK YOU !
Beside Franck, Mayur and Seb ( already our team-mates in Me&4Free Project ) … There are + 100 friends wo have actively participated in the4 Free Community FOR MORE THAN 6 MONTH … IN A CONTINOUS MANNER !
… And other +150 who are going to “go green” in the next 1-2 month …
… And maybe you have noticed there are 20-30 new ACTIVE members every month 
… So let’s see how many 4Free’ers there will be, let’s say, in another six month.
We’re speachless when realizing this awesome situation ! THANK YOU AGAIN !!
I. You have noticed there are no more points for the “owners of the 4Free greencards” Why ?
- because you already know we salute and thank you every time you’re participating on 4 Free.
- because - after + 6 month - you already know the 4Free system of evaluation of the comments. You know what exactly we consider is important for the community … And we trust you !
II. Maybe most newcommers have missed our few statements where we were saying the point system is only orientative.( Also we are constantly asking our friends to”cut the thank you crap” … At least those addressed to the team. Please ! )
AGAIN : THE POINT SYSTEM ONLY SHOWS HOW IMPORTANT ( for the community ) WE FIND THE CONTENT OF YOUR COMMENTS. You have all seen - in Congratulations 4 Free Community - how the software developers are appreciating high quality comments on 4Free .
BUT - if you have nothing relevant about a certain software - SAYING HELLO IT’S STILL VERY IMPORTANT! It shows to the software developers you’re supporting the 4Free Community, in its approach for obtaining fair software promotions.
Please read all details about the points system HERE.
III. Are there any advantages of going green ? Yes of course !
1. You’ll have access granted to possible quantity limited promotions.
2. You’ll obviously be eligible for your own 4 Free Corner, if you’ll decide to claim it and you’re activity on 4 Free will justify it. Now you have the best possible examples - Franck, Mayur and Seb ( three totally different ways of participating on 4 Free - all GREAT contributions ) - so there’s no need to explain anymore what’s to be done.
Please remember that , for obvious reasons, anyone wanting to publish articles on 4Free should work with us under his real name - not public for the others ( your choice ).
We would also like to remind you we strongly encourage our friends - claiming their own 4Free corner - to open and/or present us their own weblogs/sites. Beside the possible financial reasons ( already explained in Me&4Free ) we can assure you we have serious plans regarding this aspect.
Nothing will happen instantly. Any quality stuff needs time to arrive at a mature stage. There are four simple conditions : We know we are fair, honest, patient and serious … And we’re sure you’re like that too !
For the friends already having a website or planning to start one; please allow our little advice : don’t look for money ! Do genuine quality stuff and the recognition will come, sooner or later ! We’ll do our best to help you.
Don’t take us for naïves. All we’re telling is in the 4Free context… And we assure you : together we’re strong ! ( stronger than you think - remeber we have a 20 years old international marketing experience, all 4 of us )
Again : all details - about how we see the first part of our possible common future - are described in our Me&4Free Project.
IV. For the silent readers - the one coming so frequently on 4Free … We see you everyday in our site’s statistics. Please take your time and … when you’ll understand we’re “fair, honest, patient and serious” … And if you are alike … Start being active. A simple Hello is enough and it can help all of us, starting with yourself.
We know what’s coming on 4Free and we’re telling you again : “don’t miss this train !”
BTW ! If any 4Free reader is still having the “amateur site” feeling ( about 4 Free ) … All we can answer is: the only way to build a FRIENDLY community is this … amateur friendly attitude. Who would have preferred to … talk to an automatic script ? … Or let any fake-reviewer-guru taking hostage the 4Free comments section ?
We know how many forums work … And this is why we have never joyned one before. We’re not saying that in a superior way. It’s just that we have analyzed all aspects and we know a classic forum would have not helped us in our concept of obtaining better software promotions.
And now we have the proof : the actual impressive level of the 4 Cree Community.
So when somebody is saying/thinking something about “amateur stuff” … Sooner or later he will realize it’s him having a problem of appreciation.
V. To all our friends : spread the world about 4Free. … Only if and when you’re convinced you’re doing it for yourself !
VI. There is this annoying clones problem.
Our older friends know exactly what this is about. This is the reason why some of you have asked us why we have “given 4 Free green cards ” to some usernames we have notified you - in time - to avoid their traps ( fake dialogues ) because they’re just clones of this or that blogger.
All we can say is : Well … Let them continue to work for the 4Free Community ! That’s all they have been doing untill now, although we doubt this was their intention
Seriously talking : maybe some day they will be mature enough to come under one single username - the ones we know so well … And to publicly recognize that going on somebody else’s website , under different clones-usernames ( in the same time ), pathetically talking to yourself … Just for putting links to your fake-reviewer or copy-cat blog … With the obvious desperation to get traffic ( MONEY ! ) … IS IMMORAL !
We have once described what we have observed on other forums - ONLY because “a child-minded guy” attacked 4Free on those sites.
We hope no mature reader has once “swallowed” some crook explanations pervertedly taken out of the context. We could have publicly shown the reality but all our friends advised us to forget about any crook . “SKANDAL” is their middle name.
All we would like now is to NOT HAVE THE DAILY “PLEASURE” OF TALKING TO CLONES ON The 4 Free Comments Section, ANYMORE.
We now a crook can only be blinded by his limited behavioural solutions ( SHAME is never an alternative for him ) … But let’s hope something will make those guys sooner or later - understand the common sense does not allow going in somebody else’s house like a … thief.
Of course not everybody doing this “smart ” clones game is a crook. The need for traffic/money makes guys we would have said they are mature … acting childish ( after + 80 comments on 4Free, like “Thank you team”)
If you have missed what we have told to somebody coming on 4Free under different usernames read this comment and our answer. Our only ‘fault’ was that we have told him : ” you haven’t paid attention and used the same IP for different usernames” See HERE and HERE.
A good dozen comments talking badly about Raymond… And now guess who’s a very active meber on Raymond’s freebies forum … And why ?! LOL
What’s really funny is that the blogger in cause has now transformed his site in a … freebies dedicated one ( sudenly he’s no longer a “software reviewer”) … And he’s starting some of his posts with … “Hi friends !” LOL! (2)
Have you noticed a few sites suddenly having “teams” and “friendly communities” ? Man 4 Free is so influential nowadays !!!
( Just kidding ! We know exactly 4Free is just an average site from the traffic point of view … For the moment. )
Bottom line : please stop this kind of games on 4 Free. We doubt our request will make you do that, but maybe the fact that you can use your time in more productive ways can help you take a rational decision … Or you’re risking other and other public pathetic moments ( on 4Free or anywhere ) when more people will understand who you really are. ( and that means losing your beloved traffic )
We’re saying it again : the only reason we’re talking about this unpleasant subject is the fact that these “fake friends” keep coming on 4Free, under some ‘innocent” ( in their mind ) usernames. We doubt any real reader enjoys the idea of having a dialogue, in his comments, with such pervert clones … but we promise you to keep … keeping our comments section clean, like we have always done . That’s the main reason the 4 Free Community is appreciated: real readers give their real feedbacks. As simple as that !
…
VII. Coming back to the normal honest friends : you will see many new and very important tools appearing on 4 Free next week.This tools are meant to … let’s say … help all of us draw the needed conclusions about softwares.
Correct us if we are wrong, but we think we are a very nice community … a growing one … interesting for the software developers … but maybe a bit more consistency is missing.
So we’re taking this opportunity to ask all 4Free’ers to take this last step very seriously. We’re sure you will realize yourself the decisive importance of this last step.
Keep in touch friends !

Hello! I must agree with your point of view on the ‘negative’ side that some people seem to enjoy throwing out! I have personally defended this site to a few people whom believe if its to good to true it is, or nothing is free.
If the same people who take the time to complain that your not giving credit where credit is due, would spend that same amount of time/energy to do something productive for the 4-Free community as a whole, then as you stated you have no trouble giving credit when due.
I also do make it a point to advertise this site when the offers are something that I can see being useful!
This is the last thing someone can accuse 4Free of. ( not giving the right credit ).
4 Free is loaded with links to all kind of sources. ( English, German, Turkish, Polish, etc … ). We have practically teached some bloggers where to find freebies.( Sorry but this is the truth ! ) Like Alok once said : he learned on 4Free about where and how to find freebies.
More : we think we have even convinced one or two bloggers to start giving the due credit, in order to gain respect from his readers ( and to avoid being pathetic ).
The proof is very obvious: those 2-3 imitator-bloggers have started publishing about freebies AFTER meeting 4Free.
Nothing wrong with that, after all ! But why talking bad about 4 Free as a childish reaction after we’ve told him/them : we see what you’re doing ( different usernames , etc … )
On 4Free we have a Concept, a Project and some Objectives. We wonder if they’ll keep copying the next 4 Free initiatives, too.
But what can you ask from someone saying +50 times things like “you’re great 4 Free Team” … And then talking bad about 4 Free on different sites.
Their morality, their sad life ! All we want is to see their sick games on 4Free stopped.
Thank you Jonathan !
Nice green card, I liked it a lot! BTW why did you chose Einstein as a specimen for the card, does he have any connection to freebies..?
Hi Dave ! Is it very important if Einstein has a connection or not wit freebies ?
Sorry if our metaphor for a free spirit is not obvious.
Regards !
By “active member” you means member that leaves comments or that propose some kind of promo?
Is there a way to know how much time I’m a member? Thank you.

Hi Max!
A simple Hello is enough. we mean it.
You’re already a member. You’ll “go green” when reaching six month of active presence. Soon :
Best regards !
“amateur site”, sounds like “a mature site” which is a much more accurate way to describe the feeling of this site. Always appreciate the honest, unbiased articles; and the friendly attitude in comments is very refreshing, certainly what makes 4 Free so great.
Look forward to learning more about the important tools next week.

Please note you can help the community ( and probably yourself ) by sharing your three software giveaway wishes here :

Best regards !
Thank you guys.
I had a GOOD laugh after seeing the Green Card! I think it represents well the “spirit” of our community. Free, inventive, not being afraid of some childish acts sometimes, but producing great results. Because if everybody is mature for 100% of the time, he’ll certainly loose the good feeling of a new discovery or finding - the surprise, the excitement of a new present - unfortunately grown ups don’t like surprises very well - I know, I’m one of them and keep on trying to remind me to have some laughs!! And having fun has nothing to do with not being fair, honest, patient and serious. This is a must!
I just miss a place to discuss software and/or hardware problems, find suggestions and solutions ( of course there are other places to do that - Raymond’s being one of them, but as I spend some more time in here, I would like to just “concentrate” all my needs in here), and have a corner for small talk.
In my opinion you’re on the right track,, as always.
Thank you!
mario
WOW, what a nice green card.
It looks lovely

Hi !
I’m sure you’re ironical .. But you have that right, no harm done.
Regards !
As one could guess, the “green revolution” was clearly more than comments from some folks turning green in color
I learned something new about the 4 Free team by reading this article. Your approach to create a human-friendly community as opposed to a computer-friendly ’server’ is great! Here is a live example of something possible with your approach that just cannot happen with a server approach: You remembered me saying this! >> Like Alok once said : he learned on 4Free about where and how to find freebies
Indeed, I learned about how to find promotions from 4 Free. Previously I was aware only of GAOTD, not even of Raymond.cc!
I’m neither a tech savvy nor a freebies hunter and I consider my activity on 4Free as very modest.
I’m honoured to be among the green 4Free’ers although I’m not looking for any rewards.
Just keep this great site alive and we’ll be happy !
Regards !
Hi guys !
I’m a happy 4Free’er whether my comments are grey or green
You’re doing a great job as always .
Best regards !
Cool green-card. Like the Einstein metaphor. I can’t wait until I get to go green.

Hi !
Next month is your 6th one as an active 4Free’er.

Albert Einstein was a radical thinker, it’s appropriate that he should be the symbolic 4Free Green Card.

Nice
I can’t wait for the time i will get mine..
It’s gonna be a while unfortunately since i only discovered 4Free in the summer but who cares..
Someday i will receive it
Just don’t forget us guys
we like the good stuff too

4 Free … “IT IS YOU”.
If you’re not here ( active ) we cannot get any promotion. ( close down 4Free and mind our lifes )
How can we forget any real 4Free’er ?
I never meant something like that guys. Maybe i was misinterpreted.. When i said don’t forget us i meant about the HF promos
Now that the green stuff begins, it’s only natural to have less HFs and give some of the rares to the greens before releasing them.. Also we all know that after a HF is released it is rapidly spread to many other blogs and sites. So i hope that the greens will keep the rares to themselves so by the time we receive the promo there will be some licenses left..

Viva Green Revolution! Well, it is so nice to see how the community grows from day to day. Good to see many contributors here like the 4 Free On Internet site administrators do something for no profit. Let the community roll.
By the way I loved Einstein’s e-mail address: einstein@heaven.com
Hello friends!
Finally my curiosity was killed! (he he). I’ll be waiting for my time to be “green” too. Until that, I’ll go on visiting this site every day. Good week for every one!

Evandro.

You know when you have something good somebody will get jellous and try to steel it or wreck it. I could never figuer out why.
Just take confort that what you guys are doing helps. I would love to do more but I dont know what. I have put a link to you guy on my web site and I tell everybody I see to come here and check out this site.
You have my email and if there is anything I can do to help let me know. I would love to be among the green 4Free’ers I come here every day and leve coments all the time.

Thank YOU John!
Very kind of you.

You guys have always been more than fair and patient with everyone including those who don’t deserve it. But I do live by and find it difficult at times to “Love my neighbor” I will give a second chance to those who are offensive at times. I’ve always enjoyed visiting this site and reading the many comments and learning from those who are computer savy and willing to comment on the freebee’s.
I see the highest standards being held by those (you) who run this site that it never gets out of hand and know the reason why you check all comments before publishing them THANK YOU. Well I drivilled on long enough. There ain’t no better site than what I seen here CHEERS TO THE TEAM HERE HERE do I get a second on that?
Bill S
Cheers to real friends like you, Bill !
For some reasons… I miss the blue line at the bottom of my comment. After going green its more difficult to get your ” blue ” answer.
Don’t get me wrong but there were no other sites, as I know, doing such things ( kindly answers every single comment ! ).
On the other side: Its a pleasure to become part of this great site and society and I do hope the best of it.
VIVA 4FREE !!!
The way you ppl work is really gr8
All the newbie’s and the experts of WWW have lot of things to learn by reading your most valuable posts & free offers as promoted by you.
BTW the Idea of giving a green card to the active forum readers is also good,
Thanks for everything and the help of Franck, Mayur and Seb

Thank you!
I know I am not that active on this great site.
It does not matter to me if I am green or not. I just hope that the little that I have contributed to this great community helps.
What I have seen here and what the 4-free has done so far is great. I can only see bigger and greater things for the 4-free on the internet community. Keep up the good work.
The future of this site looks brighter and brighter.
I’m gone green today n have a wonderful feeling about it…
?
Hi Ishaan!
You have already gotten your 4Free green card on October 6 !
Oh!! that means I noticed it today after a month…
sry guys, u’ll must have got annoyed by reading it!!
Hi Ishaan!
Why to “get annoyed” ? We know it’s not big deal to be a green 4Free’er … for the moment.
We hope it will slowly become important.
Regards !
I think this will be a great idea…..I’m looking forward to my time of “going green…” but, I know it’s a ways off yet.

Hi!
Thank you for the wishes … But we still have a lot of things to do on 4Free ( before whising the bestS
Regarding the green card : Your first comment on 4Free was on September 27 … Patience is a very decisive virtue .
Regards !
Thanks for replying I am continously watching your favorite blog and each & every post but due to my work restrictions,wont be able to comment or give my feedback on all of them,I hope you ppl can understand my situation,but swear not a single day have passed that i didn’t check my favorite 4Free site.
How much patience?
See its overflowing…………
(Just Kidding)
I know you ppl too have to follow the rules
Thanks Again & Best Wishes
TC
Thank you!
After reading the whole article which you have updated,its true that lot of spammers will be get warned and the sleeping or hiding user’s will definitely become’s active and participate in the survey’s too and reveal their identity
Good for Everyone on this forum
Now I also won’t repeat the word “Thanks”

Thank you!
am i green, too?
Obviously !
It will probably take me a long time to reach green card status, but i think it is a good idea.
Maybe other bloggers use different names on other sites to avoid getting instantly banned. I can understand they constantly need material to keep their sites fresh. Maybe they should nurture a community like yours!.
I also am annoyed when people run down Raymonds site, as i am regular browser and found the link to this site on it when you first started up.

Hi !
Raymond was on our faves list from day0 (August 2008)
He can’t do much about the croock sick games, believe me. We know what we”re seeing in our comments section everyday.
… And the situation is different on his forum. ( although these pathetic clone-games are frequently lowering the quality of discussions )
Here and on 4Free-Community.com we’re trying to build a working-community so we can never allow some mythomaniac kids thinking they can fool everyone around by using adult words.
Regards!
Thank you. I love the site. I used to go to GOTD first thing every morning. Now, Thanks to you all, I go to 4Free communities, then 4Free and then, maybe, GOTD.
A much better sequence.
I hope the invasion of the clones won’t disrupt things - I like how you keep the comments tight.
Can’t wait until my 6 months is up!
Regards!
I’m really looking forward to turning green now. Not every day someone gets to share the same honor as Mr. Einstein.
Hiya!
Green card or no green card - I made a resolution I was going to get more actively involved in things this year.
This is a first step in that direction.
Good resolution !
Hi 4Free,
I can’t wait to be green any time soon.But I am a pretty much a reader and active commenter,so is this enough or I should I do something else,guess I just pre-mature!!
