The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
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.

Ok, but don't blame me when some of the regulars and a few notables begin to leave...
...and GT3 is a simply poo-poo game.

Thanks for letting us know Tony!
And I do feel at the present moment in time the forums need you around a lot more than you have been lately! Even Snuggly has appeared more.
Seriously.

Don't worry - I'm sure the entries will all be considered. There are prizes for all of those that we use.
About 130 banners on the page (apologies for not splitting this to several pages.
My favourite (though I'm not sure if we can use it) was cooldog's "Sick to death of those stupid adverts" banner.
Good stuff from er-no. "Top Address" and "Still Interested" caught my eye.
I liked quite a few of the others too, and I'm glad it's not me judging which ones to use. I guess I should apologise in advance if we don't use yours, because quite clearly a lot of effort has gone into this.
We have some urgent work on Monday and Tuesday so there is a possibility that the decisions will be deferred until Wednesday. It's a good couple of hours work for somebody to decide. I think it'll be Darkus and Loki who make the decisions. Loki was on holiday last week and Darkus has a front cover to design for a suppliment in PC Format.

Yea, I sent all my banners last Thursday, because Webby posted all my old ones. I have waited patiently for 4 days and there still not up on the site.
I am sure Tony will try and be fair and allow all banners which where uploaded and sent before say 12:00 today can be allowed...
webby does have a weekend!
Tony. Any news?

Tony can I send the banners to you, instead of Webby? Webby wont post them up.
Tony Webby has not updated the banner page yet! I have about 5 cool banners that are not up there, plus Webby posted all my old banners instead of my updated ones!
