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.

Are we lookig at the same page?
It looks ok on 1024x768 but as you said before it's a bit off to the right on 800x600.
Although design for 800x600 isn't one of the specifics the comp asked for I think it's one that they want, you only need to move the image a bit to the left anyway.

Yuk 800x600 sucks. It's way too big and primary school looking.

I just have this massive white bar on the right hand side where the forums bit ends. It fits perfectly on 800x600 but not so perfectly on 1024x768!

My site also looks a bit discombarbulated on 1024x768 too!

The site looks fine on 1024x768.
Leave it on for a while and you will get used to it.
