COMPETITION NOW CLOSED - WINNER TO BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY
Another day, another great opportunity to win an EXTRA GAMEADAY prize. That's one prize of any game of your choice if you are a member of SR, or one prize of an SR Membership with Free Gift, if you are not a member.
Take a look at this page:
http://registration.freeola.net/errors/e.php?ec=404
The purpose of this page is to show people that they have gone to the wrong page.
However, there is another important role for these pages, and that's to get people to our site! Most of the people seeing this error page have never heard of us, and we want them to become SR fans.
This competition closes on August 10th and will be judged by Loki himself.
To win you must design a simple, fast-loading page with sufficient innovation to achieve a high click rate to the following sites:
UKgames.com
UKpc.net
Freeola.com
GetDotted.com
Place the url in a reply in this thread and Loki will pop in from time to time and publish your link as a hotlink in this opening thread (so that people can easily see all the page designs you have entered).
You can enter as many times as you like and there will be one winner who produces the design which impresses loki the most. If no designs impress loki at all then he will not issue a prize.
It's vital that the page loads quickly. You are more likely to win with some clever wording than you are with flashy designs. You can use one of our stock banner, like the one shown on the error page at present, or you can make your design without a banner if you like.
Good Luck.

Good point Whooo! there is a real difference between the two. I personally do the lost... design, code and scripting... AJG is just a code mon-kay. not everyone does everything at once.

My comments weren't aimed at you Tyla. They were made at that t0sser ajg or whatever his name is.
I've seen your work and it is great. He has not proved he is great and his GAD attempt is not what I would associate with a web design professional. He couldn't even align the tables.....

Actually theres FunkyGamer, Nimco and soon to be Whooo!
This is a competition, and my post was about people putting a bit more effort and origonality in that just re purposing the example..
Mysique's... The Leprachaun was excellent
Whooo!'s... First attempt was brilliant... againa joke, but funny
Insomnia's... Again, nice work
Apart from that, they all look the same! Kind of defeats the object of being origonal! or ebven trying to put the work in. So I've annoyed some people in here.. live with it! i won't be the last to up set you all and I certainly wasn't the first!
It sooo funny how just a simple comment about making a bit more effort upset so many people!
Like AJG said... welcome to the real world

LOL! I know exactly where your comming from... Clients are the bain of this industry wanting everything for nothing, but at the end of the day they pay your salary.
I'd get killed if I threw a tantrum because someone didn't like mine... totally unprofessional. But then it part of the job, you can't please them all, all of the time.
Excellent post!

Actually, there are many designers out there way better than me and I've never denied this, but ufortunately I am good and I get paid for being as good as i am and I have the press and PR to support it... how many of you can say you have designed a site which receives 1 million unique hits per month! and generates over 500k in revenue a year... not many...
1 - Only entered it out of boredom
2 - It was a joke
3 - I'm not being paid for this so I wasn't paying much attention
Live with it... i was just provoking some more effort as i was getting bored of looking at the same thing over and over again...

1 - Apart from one or two that I know of... you are all ametures
2 - Miss something.. Oh dear... fire me...

1 - KISS... well done
2 - This is for fun, but whats wrong in making some effort with it, and as i said, I only entered it for a laugh with two entries which too all of 3 minutes!
3 - If your going to re purpose previous content, Why fix it if it aint broke!
