Hey everyone. As some of you might have noticed, every day I try to put up a question for you all to chip into. After 4 days I ran out of questions.

Anyway, my idea is for competitions about games. And we're not talking the one u just had "Who makes the PS2". OMG! We're talking very technical questions... but questions that with research can be answered... first correst answer wins. For example, name all Miyamoto's games in order- ok, that would be a bit too long, but there's an idea.. A question like that which would need a couple of weeks to answer! Then as a reward, you could either give a game (although with GAD already this could be costly)- OR even better would be to reward it with a recommendation to upgrade statice from Regular to Notable, OR just add losts of posts onto your total count for that month :)

Finally, how about having a proper vote bit of the site. The vots that you would have would be 2 fold. Firstly, u could have SR votes, eg. Who should become a notable this month, rather than have HUGE topics! Secondly users on SR could post their own votes (eg, Zelda or Final Fantasy and other rubbish!) thus enhancing the site!

I've just thought that this could be done by listing the info under your tagline. Maybe have a textbox in the registration/details bit. Then u can enter anything u want in the box (perhaps given a few suggestions like msn address etc) This could then be displayed under the tagline

I think a voting system for the next notables will be a good idea, otherwise we are going to get people upset that some people didn't vote for them, so we can stay anonymous.

People are treating posts counts as a score now?
And there I was thinking that it was just another statistic...


I know that SonicRav was joking (always look for the smiley face :-)) but people are treating it like a score (eg Er-no :-D)

Apart from that I think that this is a great idea.
It'll stop the regulars moaning about how newbies always win things :-)
