The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
Webmaster would like your opinions for the site url. Here are the candidates:
reserve.co.uk
special.reserve.co.uk
specialreserve.net
SRDN.com
Note - we do not own specialreserve.com or specialreserve.co.uk
special.reserve.co.uk uses the space normally taken by "www", for the "special". The domain is actually reserve.co.uk.
SRDN stand for Special Reserve Discount Network.
The winning domain will be used across our site, so the url for UKgames.com would become http://specialreserve.net/ukgames (for example).
Of course entering http://UKgames.com would still take you to the same site. (if you follow me).
Please vote in order of preference e.g.
1. SRDN.com
2. special.reserve.co.uk
3. specialreserve.net
4. reserve.co.uk
Please actually list the urls, the numbers on the left are to indicate the order of your vote, and you'll have trouble posting the list if you do not put the numbers in front of it.
Why is that webby? - Don't we want lists posted?

The results of FM's vote are as follows:
1. specialreserve.net
2. reserve.co.uk
3. special.reserve.co.uk
4. SRDN.com
Reasoning:
1. Easy to remember
2. Familiar, but too many dots in it
3. See above, but far to many dots in it
4. SRDN sounds either like a News Broadcasting Service as in ESPN etc, or a Sardine fetish site.

I agree. The free gits you do are very good value for the membership money, and you get the bonus of being a member. The selection of free gifts is very good, there's almost certainly something worth having whatever you own.
Not so sure about the reddies though. You have to save together all your order forms, and I have a tendendy to lose mine, especially as I generally go a month or so (even longer recently) between orders. It would be simpler if the reddies were stored in your account info, and you could spend them that way, without the worry of keeping your order forms together.

Emmm, I have this months OPS2 in my hand, and emm, a page full of prices, some of the games I can get cheaper out of High street stores through getting a ten percent student discount though. I.E. Onimusha Warlords £38.99, but I pre-ordered it from a high street store, at £39.99, but will only pay £36.99. I'm not complaining about prices, because across the board they are excellent, and I'm getting GT3 for nothing, can't complain about, that, Ok, I'm shutting up now, because it will take me a while to get £40 worth of discount from game, sorry!!
Bonus - our latest advert does not have any price in it. The issue of our advertising is "complex" and I can't really discuss it here, for fear of giving away our secrets of success. Let's just say that our methods are not very "transparent".
If you are buying from our shops then you'll get the same prices as the web site IF you are a member (except the odd internet special offer). If you are not a member you'll pay the full shop price, which is still discounted from the High Street prices in most cases, but normally a pound or two more than the member's price.
If you are buying on the internet then you'll be charged £1 for a trial membership if you are not a member (starting next week). However, the charge for post and packing which currently applies to non-members is being dropped.

Spivs, who the hell are they?? A new company?? Nah, better stick to the well established and advertised Special Reserve, they've been going for ages and therefore obviously know what they are doing!! Does this interest you??
I don't really see why you need to change, just advertise a little better. In all of your adverts you just give a list of prices and the fact that members can win games!! Hello, anyone can win a game, proper member or not, like me for instance!! You need to intrigue people on why they should buy from you and not Game or EB online!! You have a unique corporate website here, with a unique community of people, and you must highlight this, people will notice cheap prices, but they need to know what else they can get!!
PS - when you koin you get discount in the shops. I just want to know if this makes the prices cheaper than the website, as I am truely considering resurecting my membership after 9 years in the wilderness!!

Spivs - a deal ahead of the rest
Spivs - one deal ahead of arrest

Spivs.com, rhymes with Divs,com, and that is a brush many in here would suit, but alas I am not one of those.
