Well about the Newbie to Regular thing. The timing idea i heard is a pretty good but the newbies will still post rubbish.
If you use my idea of Judging them by Quality we will get less posts and more quality in their posts!
What about Online Reddies? Perhaps cheats could reward people with reddies, you may have to put up the reddie count, that let's you get another free gift. With online reddies it would be a faster process of earning and picking gifts.
And on to the cheats section, did you know people could cheat their by making the cheat very useful by themselves?
Do you want the people to test the cheats out and tell you whether they work or not?
Well fix this problem and make sure this doesn't happen in the future.
Now to UKreviews a good idea would be a rating system!
Customers could rate the reviews between the scale of 1-10 for overall usefulness.
For Ukdiscussions i've been around in other FOG like forums before. They seem to have a kind of Signature at the end of their posts. I think this would be a good feature you could add to the forums.
For example my Sig could be: Thnx for reading or a post from your local ant.

Hope it helps

Yeah I want a signature. My hotmail one was "Bow down and worship me you mere mortals". Catchy isn't it.

(;o) Happy thinking of Signatures.

We decided not to go this route - it's bad enough trying to judge the prize winners (and replying to the complaints on that)

Yes - Online Reddies is in the pipeline, but it will have to wait behind other things at present.

Not sure what you mean by this. We can't spend all of our time testing cheats. There is a system of customer feedback. If anybody was found deliberately posting cheats which don't work then we would deal with it.

Yes - I think something of this order is in the pipeline.

It's a possibility. A sign off phrase. What do other people think of this?

Probably testing all the GBA's before sending them....

I read it Sniper, and I feel that your idea should be given a trial run for a week and then a voting.....
