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.

coz as i freely admit, im $h!te at anything graphical or design based - im a web engineer (Code Mon-kay!!!) and leave design work to others as much as possible.

it took me about 12 hours of solid work to come up with a rough design for my new site that looks good enough to put online, and i still dont think its that good - no, it looks crap. ill give you the addy when its online again

So, you didn't want to make yourself look bad? :)
shame, I was hoping they'd have been more of a response from the regulars in this forum.

of course.... just have a look at the cached version of my site on google to see why my comments are justified (btw, that is the old version of the site)

So many things I could say but won't coz they would be OTT and harsh and untrue, e.g:

It should have done;
Yup;
No comment;
Wish it had;
Yeah, you're worse.

etc etc. but like i said, i wont say them... d'oh!

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
Easy and free service!
I think it's fab that you provide an easy-to-follow service, and even better that it's free...!
