Welcome back Freedom family, I am back with yet another weekly roundup in our wonderful Friday Forum Feature - YAY 
So I'm starting this FFF off with a bit of information that may be useful for people on the forums, and who are partnered with the Freedom! Network and this is outlined below
Unlinked channel, no problem
So as you may have known, either through the grapevine, or by looking in the support section of the forum, there has been a number of support threads made about channels being unlinked from Freedom - I'm not going to bore you with the specific's just let you know that this is due to a system Freedom has in place to check content of channels against those closed by YouTube, while no system is perfect it does seem like Freedom's system has been providing some false positives and placing perfectly good channels in a queue to get removed. If this has happened to you and your account is still in good standing please contact our support team who will be more than happy to help. For more information about the system in place and Freedom's official stance please see the following thread - here
Spend those Credits!!
Also it is finally time to announce that the Freedom Credit store is now open, if you haven't already seen Koala's post about this - here - please note this isn't an exhaustive list and we are always open to hear your suggestions and ideas that we could implement regarding the store.
Shoutout for best answer this week
So I wasn't entirely sure how I was going to work this into this weeks FFF, so I thought why not have it at the start. I just wanted to take a minute to personally thank @HyperLabs for their amazing answer to how to use Freedom to grow your channel. I saw this on Thursday evening and knew I had to include it, if you would like to see this wonderful answer you can check it out - here
~~ Milestones ~~
So Many Zero's
What a wonderful week it has been in the milestone and achievement section of the forums. Not only have we been able to celebrate getting 200,000 discussions going on the forums - as outlined here - but we have also had some serious view milestones to celebrate from our users, for example
- @Up 'Til Noon recently hit 2 Million minutes of watch time
- @MrCyanGaming celebrated 100,000 total views
- @TeamRespawn celebrated getting 123K views in just one month, seriously how crazy is that?
If you would like to see their threads, and share a personal congratulations for their efforts then you can do so :
- Here for Up 'Til Noon
- Here for MrCyanGaming
- Here for TeamRespawn
~~ Who doesn't like fun ~~
It's all fun and games on the forums
So for those of you who want to have a bit of fun on the forums - don't we all like to have fun once in a while - I would suggest participating in the 'Can you guess what this is' game. This see's users guessing what the zoomed in picture is off within a time limit, and can often rather surprise you. If you would like to participate or indeed submit a picture for us to guess then please check out the following thread - here
~~ Competition Time ~~
Don't forget this months competition
So as the title suggests, don't forget we hold monthly competitions on the forums, which can lead to users gaining a $50 cash prize, along with runners up receiving steam game keys. This month we ask you to submit a resource to our C.R.I.B, or should that be 'the C.R.I.B - I can never be too sure. Please note there is a few requirements that are needed to take part, and all information can be found - here
So that's it for another week, which do you think was the most deserving of our mentions? We are also looking to showcase the very best of your contributions to the forums, so if you have a tip, resource, service, milestone or introduction thread that you think should be showcased then please don't hesitate to get in touch!
