The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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!

Again this has probably been said allready but I would like to see a feature that lets you know either...
A) Who is signed into ukchatforums at the moment
And
B) who has posted in the last say, 10 minutes or so and WHERE they have posted.
This needs to be added so people can find out who is on the forums and when. For example, somethimes at night the forums are very quiet and not alot of chatting is going on. The prime topic forum could be getting loads of people talking but the chat forum might not have had any posts in around half an hour. This feature would allow people to find a place where there is lots of activity.
It is also useful because you can see who is around the forums.

This has probably already mean mentioned but I'll say it anyway because there are too many posts to check through
You should do a Deal of the Week page where you give an even more reduced rate on an item for one week only. This encourages people to buy the product because its cheap and they have little time to act.

**********************
That will cost way too much. It cost about £1000 to buy the machine/server (I think) and it costs alot to maintain it. It was a good idea though.
Of course we could steal lycos' one so that when you type something in here (@ SR), it uses Lycos engine!!! Mwahahaha! Illegal? Oh yeah, I forgot about that :(
:D

Well obviously Dringo doesn't
This has been discussed many times before.
SR can't afford to, as it takes a stupid amount of server resources.

Gameplay have wireplay so i think we should have our own system where you can battle with gamers on half life etc... over the internet, this would make ukgames the ultimate place to be for gamers!
wouldn't hurt. I'd eat it with a hint of monkey blood.
