The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
After due consideration here are the results.
Everybody wants User Profiles.
RBS says lean some of the GAD prizes towards lesser forums to boost them and he suggests we include a "what's going on in the forums" or "forum news" somewhere.
Gaming Boy would like to see more input from the staff to start topics and kick-start discussion.
Grix suggests we have a tournament where we all download game to our PC and play against each other.
er-no wants a "who is here" link. You click on it and it tells you the names of most recent posters (good idea). And er-no wants the Notables to be given something to do (a request which I have just complied with in Chat forums)
TheBest_2K1 is keen on putting people in a hot seat. Everybody fires questions at the poor so...
Quazimodo would like links to your "Latest Post" and your web site url in your stats window (excellent).
Meka would like us to hold a song contest and have counters to see how many people have read a thread. pb backs this up with a similar request on reviews.
Cookie Monster suggests a Cluedo-style murder mystery event.
Dan2K1 would like on-line darts.
Dringo is keen to repeat some "Opposite Posts" - I believe this is intended to be head to head challenges on specific arguments.
Chr!stos says we should sometimes vote for Gameaday winners, instead of them being always picked by staff.
Salevunit suggested a Winning Posts Forum (view only), plus Tag of the Day competitions, Search Facilities and Caution Tags. The latter is a particularly strong suggestion, i.e. to give warning tags to people likely to face a ban.
BUT THE WINNER IS:
The prize is for the best SET of suggestions. The winner is SHEEPY for the following ideas:
FOG Lotto
Round Number Prizes (e.g. at 10,000 posts in a forum)
"Number Day" I think this means we would all be anonymous.
Vote people off the forums Big Brother style (love that).
Guess the Phantom Poster.
Complaint Button (already in place now with the report link)
Improve the message filter and the feedback from it.
Contratulations SHEEPY and I hope you enjoy munching your prize.
Thank you again to all those who contributed and sorry not to be able to mention everybody.
*********
These were the original rules.

Voting for Notables
Extra Gameaday Prizes
Protected "Prime Topics" forum

I still think profiles would be cool where you can put contact information as well as favourite games etc.. It brings the community together.
And tagimages as I said way way earlier. These are cool. Choose a small pic maybe of yourself (like the notables have pictures of themselves - Grix the big head).
They are the best ideas you have to admit :)

A forum where people can review a game or itme that isnt on review or for sale! And review stuff like add-ons, patches e.g Official Black & WHite beta patch, extras and previews and these could all be eledable for GAD!!
The best post of the mounth could win 100 pounds.
how about we have *the best poster of the week*.
The person who does the best post in the week,the next week they could have a title for one week and their name in gold

where you have changed to "report this post to a moderator" keep that there but put back the link to the forum as well, then we have the best of both worlds.
have main forums that are only accessible to the class you are in ie newbie, regular, notable. Perhaps noteables could have the facility to block groups from their posts.
have a daily poll, like "what was the best SNES game ever?" just for fun. people would be able to read other peoples replies.
restrict the amount of GADs you can win, say a max of 1 a fortnight, so others stand more of a chance.
have the staff chat a bit more on the site, everyone likes it when tony pops in...

This could brighten up a few faces over the Chatforums! Maybe bring back the Chat rooms! And colours emicotons, the ability to send files and sounds or post actual pictures that we have on our computers etc.
But maybe you could have theme tunes running in the background you could have theme tunes from games on the gameaday forums and theme tunes from DVD films etc. It could change when people get bored of it about every 3-7 days?
And aslo add a button for the stop and start!
