Remember a while back we offered an EXTRA GAMEADAY prize for promotional suggestions. Anyone who suggested an idea which we actually use within three months wins a prize.

Monkey_with_Attitude has already been given one prize for his suggestion of community spirit in e-mails.

There are now three further prizes in this competition.

1. Monkey_with_Attitude
E-mail a friend links in discussions etc.

2. Fantasy Meister
Gameaday leaflets or stickers on products we sell, especially in the shops.

3. Monkey_with_Attitude
Prompt people to bookmark or place our sites on home pages.

By the way - It's no good searching for the promotional thread. We deleted it so that our competitors can't get their sweaty mits on it.

There may of course still be other winners to this as every suggestion which is used within three months will win a prize.

I agree with this guy. I may have only joined up a few days ago but I have put almost all my time into this because I am dying to get my hands on a copy of Donkey Kong and Banjo-Tooie

Put eye-catching banners on main sites which a lot of people visit. THese sites are lycos, freeserve, aol, and cnet. Each of these sites get loads of hits a day and some of their traffic can be diverted to your site using the banners.

Then they might be attracted to buy a game.
Good advertising ploy

If thats the case... Then why do SR advertise the GameADay compo aspect... and downplay the discussions?

Sorry...

Mickey, i dont agree at all, and i suspect many of the regulars on here dont agree with you either.

The whole point of these forums is to DISCUSS, hence "Discussion Forum". You should come on here to share opinions and learn things from others.

If you win a game or DVD whatever, its a bonus. You seem to think that it is your god given right to get a free game, and its not at all.

The best posts each day wins, its as simple as that. Someone could win every day for a week, if they post the best thing every day. Where's the problem in that?

If you want to win maybe you should spend a bit more time thinking of original, quality topics than moaning.

Here's an idea Tony. You could stop giving away so many of your prizes away to the same people - i.e - ssxpro and that monkey with attitude bloke, who could probably set up a shop with the amount of games they have won. Instead you should give away prizes to different people who deserve to win just as much but havnt won millions of times before. I noticed that you didnt give a game to 'Jagged Little Pill' who gave a great idea to your game ideas forum. I would have awarded him with ten games for the amount he wrote.
All im trying to say is you should try and make your competition a bit more fair, because so many people put a lot of effort into what they write and still they lose to people who win 2 games in the same day. Thankyou for taking your time to read this (thats if you do read this) and i hope you take into account what i think so many people will agree with in this message.
