The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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

Great banners AK, I like the Commandoes 2 banner. It's eye catching. I will fix the Red Splat banner tomorow, thanks for the help.
Good Banners on the whole just one minor point:-
On the red splat banner, do you think you could make it so the fly his swatted in his tracks, instead of morphing to the middle of the screen?
Apart from that there is nothing else I would suggest.
What do you think of my banners?

Most of the banners up on the site are almost finished.
PLEASE can anybody tell me which banners need improving and how.

You will notice on my Red Splat Saver banner, I have changed "Everything is cheap" to "Quality goods at quality prices". I thought "Everything is cheap" sounded as if SR are selling dodgy goods.
Is "Quality goods at quality prices" better than "Everything is cheap"?

pro- yeah right..
if it were me, i would change the font, just because i dont think it is that easy to read. Normally i expect people look at banners for less that a second or so, so if they cant read the banner easily, they wont even bother to try, let alone click on it! :)
