The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
Okay, an absolute torrent of entries for this one, it too ka good couple of hours to read them all, and I had to kill several trees for the paper to print them all out, so no moaning about the winners.
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

On each left page of the magazine in the same space, in the bottom hand corner by the page number, place a different name of the UKchatForums.
Everyone who reads the magazine will always look at the page number at least once, so just simply put the name next to it. Finally now that you have confused them and want them to find out more, on the last page place the URL to ukchatforums...
..it would work as they go through the pages of small names until they hit the URL..
Simple... not much space, easy and effective.

How about this...
Everytime a user tells 5 freinds about this site they get a free reddy. Freinds have to register an tell SR the email of the person (who has to be a registered user) who told them about sr. Once the user has 5 people who gave their email they get a reddie.
