"EXTRA EXTRA GAMEADAY PRIZE (Design the Freeola error page)"

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.

Slightly amusing, but a blatent rip off. Seen the site it came from.

Good work loki!

Heres another: http://www.geocities.com/dav1dthedude/error3.htm

What I call Fuzzy 1 bears no relation to what you called the page. It could be called Fiona for all I care. It's just a list of entries, grouped by individuals, in the order I came across them.

By the way, in your links at the top of the post, you've mucked mines up. The first (Fuzzy 1) is ironically an Error 404 page itself (the link you've put is like my link plus your own) and the other 3 lead to the wrong picture (ie your link 'Fuzzy 2' leads to the actual Fuzzy 3, your link 'Fuzzy 3' to the actual Fuzzy 4 and your link 'Fuzzy 4' to the actual Fuzzy 5 whilst the actual Fuzzy 1 is the broken link afore mentioned.

Please fix! :D Much obliged.

Heres a new one...

I've gone for something a bit different this time, squeezing everything into the bar at the top.

I just had a gander at your site and it doesn't even fit on a 1024x800 resolution! the copyright info makes the horizontal bar unveil itself.
