"NEW SITE FEATURES COMP - WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT"

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 was thinking of just adding a bit of extra text into the popups we already have?

Like the profiles on MSN where people can search and view it!

Ive already mentioned this is chat... but... all the same :)

Why not stick the members/notables profile/description into their stats pop-up... so that people and newbies can see what they are all about?

:)

There was a walkthrough idea a while back in here that I really, really liked, and they said that it could be a completely different compo but only once a week and had a more 'expensive price'

but what would that be, my GAD prize was 60 pounds but what WOULD be more expensive but not too expensive-Controllers, hardware, same price or cheaper than games, consoles too expensive, or as I suggested it could be a £100 pounds compo where you do the suggested idea but you can have anything up to or below £100 this could be 3-4 games, or vouchers or maybe ask for the cash!

But to add to the chance of winning GAD maybe add it as another chance to win!

How about more unified forum links? ...

Wherein the names of the forums have a similar layout?

like '()'s

- The Future Of Gaming (Prime Topics) (514)
- The Future Of Gaming (Chat) (448)
- Sony (PS1 & PS2) (49)
- Nintendo (GCube, GB, GBA & 64) (23)
- Microsoft (Xbox & Windows) (4)
- Sega (Dreamcast) (4)

or '-'s

- The Future Of Gaming - Prime Topics (514)

I wan't a logo like Fish-es

Now then, this will be my logo...

Remember the old 'Pong' games from the 60's?

That's one!!!

Game: New Logo Included - | . |

One last idea would be to have an easier way to claim your gameaday on this site. I know it eas pretty easy but have a link to claiming them but you have to type your e-mail and password to access the link, and then you just type in the title of the game you want to claim

It would be pretty secure because you would have to type your e-mail and password in before hand

well just an idea

thanx

Have a small section on Ukgames.com where people can vote what games they are mostly playing in the week.

You could have a top 5 for the week voted by the users of SR, updated each week. Votes could be voted in a thread?

It could be near the charts at the bottom of Ukgames and each game voted in the top 5 would be as a link to go and buy it.

Given Er-Nos prize option (from the Banner Ads compo) ...

Why not allow Films-A-Days and Game-A-Days to be interchangeable...

Wherein a GAD winner can, instead of selecting a game, choose two DVDs...

With 2 FAD wins required for someone to be allowed, instead to choose a Game?

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH....
