The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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

I don't know why you are doing it like this. If you upload them, then they are submitted and thats the end of it. But what if someone uploads one just like it, then your idea has gone.

I try to get them to look professional by not adding crappy colours like green and pink! Stick with red, blue and black!
I also spend about 45 mins per banner getting the timing perfectous! It needs to be.

I think the simply look is good, all of er-no's are like that and they all look really professional. I need more ideas, I've only done one so far. Any more ideas on when this comp is going to finish??

Probably about 8%, which means nobody wins!
SR should change the rules to just say, if you banner gets used you win a game!
Because all of us spend so bloody long on them! Like that one with the members in! It took me a couple of hours to get the images perfect!

> er-no, what do u think of my banners then?
The only one that really caught my eye was the ukmobiles.com. it was very simple and I think it would be effective!
The others are good banners but with a game such as Black &White (great banner) its an old game, so... I dunno.
Plus can everyone stop doing bloody Gt3 and Max Payne banners!! SR already have 3 GT3 banners around and a Max Payne banner!
arrrghhhh!
