The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
HERE ARE THE RESULTS OF THIS COMPETITION. I have read ALL the entries!
A lot of entries mentioned things which have generally been discussed before or are in the pipeline. They include:
User Profiles
Polls
Walkthroughs and Game Guides
Highest Scores
Who is currently posting
Splash Plastic (which is too expensive for us to do)
Online Reddies
Logos and Ringtones (see UKphonetones.com)
Genre search for games
Tell a Friend.
It just goes to show how busy we are that we are unable to get many of the above into place. But hey, expenditure is controlled by income (hint).
I liked Darkness' idea about tutorials, and Mantis made the suggestion to have a "Gamesmaster" of the forums based on competitions for high scores.
Cookie Monster wants people to be able to promote their website (we already offer this for Freeola customers) and he also suggests that we have an office pet which is monitored with a web cam (brilliant).
Monkey_with_Attitude suggests a "most played games of the week" counter on UKgames.com.
Freak of the Dark says our logo should "move or something".
Turbonutter reckons we should run Flash games and this is supported by Shaneo who says we should run SR Arena and give prizes to the best players. Turbonutter also tells us that we are lacking on PC game specification of the type you find on the back of the box and Swish extends this to a link under each title.
CDouch is a "man of a thousand ideas", mostly on the button too. He lists: Information on gaming from around the world, more mini sites like UKgt3, kids corner, celebrity visits and better organised release info including more information on unreleased games (to name but a few of his suggestions).
The rules (written by Kendozod) state "exciting and would attract a lot of visitors".
THE WINNERS ARE:
CDouch for MORE INFORMATION ON UNRELEASED GAMES.
Turbonutter for FLASH GAMES.
Many thanks for all of your participation and, for the time being, I promise not to confuse the issue by holding any other similar competition.

Below are the original rules written by Kendozod
New Site Features.
Tony has let me loose to post a new and exciting competition!
So here goes:
This competition is for all of you to think up new features for our websites. We already have cheats, clips, demos, discussions etc but are there other features you would like us to add?
The aim here is for the feature to be low admin maintenance and low in cost (obviously!) but be exciting and would attract lots of visitors.
They can be fun, educational, business, reference, silly, cool - anything as long as they NOT sexual or violent in nature.
This competition is open for 1 month and the best ideas that we USE will win a game as part of GAMEADAY. If no ideas are used then I will pick 1 winner that I deem the best.
CLOSING DATE: 8th July 2001
So get thinking and posting. Remember, your suggestions could make a difference!

I've always been quite a big fan of the Special Dir... I mean uh Reseve 'Inter@ction' idea. The Forums, Polls, GAD, FAD, EXTRA EXTRA etc.
My idea is that we have quizzes. Not for GAD's but for fun. We could have a set of questions on Nintendo, Sega, Sony, Retro Games, Sports Games etc.
A Set of 10 questions could be thought up by someone (Staff, Customer or Other Web-Site) and everyone could answer them. An overall score of the members points could be shown in the Stats Section or i the 'Top Posters' thingy.
I think it'd go down quite well!

That does borrow a lot from my idea to have a staff web cam in the first place though.

have a set time every day where you announce gad and fad winners
so we know when to look instead of having to keep checking every little while

turn the sr officers into a kind of bigbrother house and have members of staff stay in there for a few weeks, and vote each other out while their watch on a live internet hookup.
or you could make one up using video game characters like crash , lara, mario, sonic etc, see who is the best after all

You should have an "assistant", like those on rival sites. may I suggest a variation of the infamous paper clip from Office, with the option to melt it to form a part of T1000.
Why don't you get an office pet, i reccomend a hamster, or other small animal, then you have a web cam constantly focused on the little guy. People will visit in droves to moniter the progress of the pet. And you could post feeding times for people to tune in and see him nibble away.
Don;t SR already have that???
Well...
if they don't then that COULD be good!
