I was under the impression that from August, 2 GADs would be awarded everyday. One for reviews and one for discussions, but if you look at the winner's list you'll see there's only one being awarded per day and they're for a mixture of reviews and games!

What's the story SR?

Whilst the management fully appreciate that er-no feels he thought of everything before anybody else anybody else, the response I am afraid has to be in the negative.

Nope - you get nothing.

This new invention is, however, likely to cause a major downturn in the production of stilts and a spokesman for Goodyear, one of the major rubber stilt-foot manufacturers, said "at present we have no indication whether the "round thing" will require feet but we are experimenting with a multiple foot circumferance fitting, rather like a rubber chain.

I was worried at one point that you were going to stop fads from being won from topics, and while so many fad topics win not because they were written to win something, it does at least encourage some great discussions.

Just to confirm - we have no plans to cease Gameaday at present. I hope it will carry on for a very long time.
