"EXTRA EXTRA MAD BANNER.2 Winners Announced"

THE BANNER COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED. The other one for the longest threads is still running.

I'm pleased to announce that the following people will be awarded a Filmaday prize or a banana:

CJC - Hannibal banner
Slaveunit - Gameaday.co.uk banner
Dav1d - UKphonetones.com banner
Atomic_Koala - Gameaday.co.uk banner

er-no wins a Gameaday prize for his UKchatforums.co.uk and Filmaday.co.uk banners. He's on fire.

Check out all the entries here:

Well done to everybody who took part, there were lots of interesting ideas, a toon, and only a couple of really scary ones. Watch out for the winning banners popping up all over the site in the next couple of days.

Tony's original message:

Design a banner competition. One banner equals a Filmaday prize. Two will get you a Gameaday prize.

Banners count if we use them. There can be many winners. If we don't use them then there is no prize. They must be under 15K and 468x60 pixel GIFs so don't be stupid.

Focus on our free gifts and items which are near the top of our charts, Get Dotted and Freeola, or UKchatforums. Look for an idea which will entice people to click, or a strong selling point of the product in question.

Ahhhhhh!..... Dont mention anymore banner comps!

Ive done enough work on this one to last me a lifetime! :-)

No.... but seriously, these banner comps are good and all, but theres a limit to how many SR actually need! :-)

I looked at all the banners. They're OK.

Tony! I sent six banners to webmaster but because he got back to me late saying he couldn't open them I couldn't resend them!

They have been uploaded for a few days now and it saddens me to think that they will not be in the judging!

Please reply as I am (for the first time) sure this is unfair.

Yea, I think all the banners are cool, everyone has done a great job. Will there be a third banner comp?

Thanks Tony! Thats great!

Glad to see all our hard work achieved an "OK"! :-)

By the way... did you enter a banner of your own?

I promise the banners pages will never be touched again - they will remain as they are, despite protests, until the winners are chosen and beyond.

*Dav1d makes a new banner and sends it to webby, while asking for his old banner to be changed* :-)

Right - no more banners, no more changes and no more e-mails to webby. Thanks.

(trots off to look at the banners)

Thats such rubbish! I did not enter a banner over 15K... I used Fireworks 3 with the K-Optimiser.

So on the net is under 15K.
