"EGAD: Write A Forum Walkthrough"

Another free game up for grabs - best walkthrough/guide gets the prize. I'll let Silent Thunder give you the lowdown:

A walkthrough for the forums. Maybe it could help all the nice JATs and newbies by getting to know all the users. Basically you take the whole list of posters, I think the top posters for the last 30 days would be best as these guys and gals are still around and write a little guide to them. Whether it be they eat newbies or adore them and what forums they hang out in etc. It would be nothing personal like "They like chips and pizza" because well.. it's the Internet. Just a little friendly guide to all the users.

Also when ether a JAT / Newbie signs up they will probably feel slightly overwhelmed, this can easily be solved with a guide to the forums and how to get started. And where to post certain topics etc.

And like all the Extra GADs you obviously won't want it to be too serious so the guides would try to be comical and slightly 'wacky' as it were. Also improving the atmosphere of the forums to new users, if they see a serious walkthrough / guide to the users and forums they will think: boring. But seeing a funny one will make them want to stay because ukchatforums.com is a fun, friendly place.

So a summary:

> A guide to all the forums on ukchatforums.com, what to post where etc.

> A guide to the top 100 posters in the last 30 days or something a long these lines - just make sure the guide covers all the members who are still around.

> A guide / walkthrough how to get started at ukchatforums.com E.g. Introduce yourself in General Chat

You guide won't have to follow this exact structure, but gives you a good idea of what we're looking for.

Best entry will of course win a game of your choice and hopefully see your thread stickied for all to see.

Closing date is 10pm on October 14th.

Good luck to all who choose to enter!

There's 7 whole weeks to enter...

I think all newbies should have to face an initiation.

We could have a topic that would seem very appealing to the tards such as 'Free chips', 'Halo ROCKS!!!11' or 'Isnt Bufffy Fit?', and once they enter these threads, they are locked in it for a period of around 30 minutes.

During this 30 minutes, the Regulars and some of the more 'Pikey' Notables (not the staff, the newbs will have to have someones bosoms to cry on afterwards) use every term of abuse they know in a slating marathon of put-downs, mother jokes and general hate fuelled literary punishment. After the 30 minutes, the newly initiated newbies are free to leave the thread, where they should hopefully be fit to enter general forum population. purged of all sense of self importance or self respect.

Waddya-think?
