Winner of a game of his choice - mickey, for his suggestion of a 'Gameaday Receipt' idea, of which many of you suggested, but mickey got their first. Well done, mickey.
Runners up prize of a DVD of his choice goes to Aliboy, for his 'Santa' idea. It's well put and a nice festive idea, so it's definitely worthy of a prize. Congrats.
Thanks to everyone for all your entries, we read them all and found them to be very useful. Peace out, and complaints to the usual address. Cheers
Ali

How about a competition whereby the person who gets most people to the site wins a game/DVD. The way it would work is that people on the site tell their friends about the site. Their friends then join the site. When registering there will be a box to input the screen name of the person who recommended the site to the newcommer.
Whoever has the most people sign up under their name wins!
Maybe have prizes for the top 3 winners?
