COMPETITION CLOSED
AND THE WINNER IS:
AliBoy for his BINGO suggestion. I am hoping to trial this for a few weeks as soon as we have had a chance to program it. Each user will get a Bingo card in their MyFreeola profiles page, and the random numbers will be displayed on the forums through the week. I like this because it provides us with something to promote in one of the e-mail bulletins, and it might encourage people to visit the forums more regularly.
Well done AliBoy. This win should be on the winners list within the next week.
There were some other excellent suggestions, and I particularly liked pb's Find Something Free suggestion, and AliBoy's slant on a Talent Competition, where each user has only one entry of any kind (though there are the obvious alter-identity issues with this).
One of our £30 Gameaday Prizes will go to the winner of this competition.
Your task is to suggest the best idea for a Gameaday Competition to be held on the chat forums at some time in the future. If the winning idea is worthy enough, then we will promote it in the next issue of our fabulous Freeola News Bulletin, to attract competitive types to the forums.
You have two weeks to come up with your idea. The closing date is Midnight on February 7th.
Your idea must work within the normal framework of the chat forums and you should explain it fully and in good English.
ABSOLUTELY NO edited posts will be considered and if the same idea is suggested several times it will be the first one which counts.
Enter this competition at any time between now and Feb 7th, simply by posting your idea on this thread, perhaps starting with the phrase "My incredible idea is..."
You can enter as many times as you want but we reserve the right to delete the entire works of competition spammers.
Extra brownies will go to anybody who's idea seems likely to produce something useful, or would encourage a high level of interest.
Nope - we will not run a Cutest Forum User's Baby Competition.

I imagine freeola having more of a bunker.
Personally i would like to see some sort of design or art like competition that was run on a fortnightly or monthly basis.
Maybe design freeola wallpapers or along Shiggy's idea of creating something either real/digital or edited and presenting images based on a theme much like the SSC.

Recommend a friend
Users recommend the site to friends (online and real life) who then come and be part of the community. When they sign up they provide their details and those of the user who recommended the site to them. Staff can then work out which user has recommended the site and got the most sign ups. With some sort of prize being awarded to the winner who gets people to join in and stay and be part of the community.
Some users may try cheat the system and sign up multiple times as themselves - not sure if that means they have no friends or would just be desperate to win, either way I'm sure there are easy ways to check how genunie each sign up is.
Build SR Towers
Back in the day we had to draw SR towers. Now in the true style of blue peter you must use household items (empty washing up bottle optional) to build your version of SR towers. THey then upload some pictures of the building process and contain a list of what they used to build it. Prize goes to the user with the best design and artistic flair.
Could also change if from being build SR towers to something one of the staffies decides.
