1) Flood the search engines with adverts for 'free £30 Amazon voucher' for any search. Even fish.

2) Send people round the streets with big billboards on them saying 'the end of the world is nigh...but you could win £30 of vouchers with Freeola Chat'

3) Put up billboard posters on every bus stop in the country while no-one is looking.

4) Give out T-shirts to current members saying 'CHAT.FREEOLA.COM FREE £30 VOUCHER' in big letters and order them to wear it at least once a week. (those who wear it every day will get a free deodorant spray)

5) Create a furry mascot advertising the site and do a deal with McDonalds to give it away in a Happy Meal.

6) Hire a zepplin and write 'FREEOLA CHAT WIN A £30 VOUCHER' on it, then fly it around the UK.

7) Phone in to Radio 1 and local radio stations to enter every competition, then blurt out the website live on the radio.

8) Hire a streaker to run across various sporting events with the website tattooed on them somewhere on their body.

I liked the idea of being able to search through the reviews especially if there's going to be 100s of them, if they can do what they did with the games, that'll help but it would be nice if we could take it further. But yes I do feel it would be better to give feedback to reviews like we do already (e.g Reefers win today).

If several people are going to give reviews for the same thing than I suppose they'll all go under one thread. Screenshots and links to demos/videos shouldnt be too difficult.

I only gave Enthusia Racing 6/10 and was pretty harsh on it yet still won so i think it was more about the quality of the review than the score, or the fact i bribed the staffie with chocolate cake at that time

That's right we use to get reviews like that on SR. One of the good things about this new review forum, is that now we don't have to give everything 10/10, we can be as honest as we like. Though I think I recall someone winning a GAD for a low rated review. :S Kinda odd if it discouraged sales for SR.

Well, I responded at the point when Chippxero and Machie said they'd prefer a separate system instead of a forum (and I did make that distinction in my original post :P). All I'm saying is, I dont think a separate system is worthwhile unless you can support it to the extent that most other review sites do.
A reviews forum on the other hand is worthwhile in my opinion.

:p That would actually hurt if Amazon wasn't littered with utter trash and *OMG IT'S GR8* type of reviews :-D

And nobody touches my Disgaea games except for me, they're my babies

Okay let me borrow yours and we'll see who can do the better review. Unlike you, I wont need to go to Amazon to get inspiration :P, it's all up here in my head Kawada. Maybe you should stick to cheats :)

That would require you to play them and as you haven't even played Disgaea yet i'm not too worried :-D

I'll do a review of Enchanted Arms and Disgaea 2, that should win me a few GADs. :)
