First of all, allow me to deeply apologize to you. It has been over a half year since you signed up, expecting a lot more from www.webgamefavorites.com than we have been able to deliver so far.
 
Sadly, we -the team of WGF- have also been struck by the economic downturn, resulting in a lot of stress and less time to dedicate to the project. Some of us have even been forced to stop working on it entirely.

As a result, no visible progress could be made since september '09. I am deeply and truly sorry about this fact.
 
Since we realized that our original ambitions would take too long to complete to be worthwhile, we have decided to change our approach. As a result, we have implemented a new (Open Source) ranking system.
The new system offers all the major benefits that our former -under development- system offers:  room for a (short) description, obviously a free link and rankings, but it also offers you the possibility to upload a free banner.
 
In our original plans, the upload of a banner would have been a paid feature. Under our new plans, this is entirely free of charge.
 
Please take a moment to register your game: http://webgamefavorites.com/topsites/index.php?a=join and put the code provided anywhere on your site.
 
I am hoping that this change of strategy will be a great new start for our site.

According to this article in The Telegraph, Joe Chedburn has made his first million at the age of 21 by building and running his game Torn.

Torn is using the model which is standard for php-based games (and others): free to play, with premium bonusses. The article states that the game now makes a stunning fifty-thousand pounds each month. "I suppose when I was younger my parents used to tell me off for spending too much time on my computer but they are quite happy with what I am doing now" Joe is quoted.

We hope that many more game-owners will manage to strike the jackpot, and we hope that we at Webgamefavorites can help you with it.

A new feature has been added to Webgame Favorites: the Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame lists every game which has had the highest amount of votes in a month, thus achieving the Status of "Game of the Month".

Furthermore, we have now added a link to the game profiles which enable visitors to cast their vote for the game they are looking at.
