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.

You would not believe the amount of trouble I have had to get this published, but worth the effort?

I'll let you decide.

Wrote this with Netscape in mind, finished it, looked good in Netscape, viewed it in IE and it looked crap :-D So I tinkered around a bit, looks a bit crappy in Netscape now and quite good in IE :-) Ah well. :-)

Oh and thanks to Tyla for the inspiration for the random numbers and letters at the top. I credited you in the title though :-)

Yep, it's FHM init, and sadly I don't think they or Holly Valance herself would let Special Reserve use that as a 404 error page. Shame that :/
