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

Apart from the total ovious, the only way you're going to attract millions of visitors to this site is to offer multiplyer gaming servers!
Clearly offering some form of Return to Castle Wolfenstein servers, even start running a ladder system or a massive league system, you'll get loads more people coming here... offering prizes for this and bang you're on your way to geting every gamer in existance here for such a small aditional cost..
Oviously you'll need loads of rules blah blah, but hey you're hardly gonna win people over with adverts, true gamers just close em down the second htey see it.
no cash?
