New Feature: User Submitted Links

A few days ago, we hinted at a possibility of some new features around Camp Sonic – features which would help integrate our community deeper into the greater Sonic community.  The first of those features which recently launched is none other than our “User Submitted Links“.

User Submitted Links is our way of allowing everyday viewers of Camp Sonic to share their discoveries far and wide, as well as our personal way of giving back to the Sonic Community.  There are A LOT of awesome sites and resources out there that go by unseen do to the fact that it can be hard to break into the Sonic Community.  With User Submitted Links we’re giving new faces a way to help promote their sites – while at the same time giving readers here a constant flow of enjoyable reading material & media.

It’s very simple. Anyone can Submit a Link (URL, Title, Short Description) which will immediately go into a moderation queue.  Once approved, that link will wait in line to be shared with our viewers on every page of Camp Sonic for at least 24 hours.

This provides a wonderful new way to distribute Sonic & SEGA related content from around the web, and also allows webmasters who can’t afford advertising to easily promote interesting content on their sites.  There is no link-back required, no registration, heck – we don’t even ask for an email address.  The only thing we do ask is that you take care to only submit High Quality content which our readers will enjoy.  You know, things like:

  • Sonic related articles, links, videos, music, art.
  • SEGA related articles, links, videos, etc.
  • Please link to the specific article rather than a homepage.
  • If linking to a Forum post, please use the specific post’s permalink.
  • Anything else the SONIC community may find interesting!

On a final note, I hope that you’ll all keep an eye on the user submitted links as they roll in.  You can find them in the right menu, currently under the “Recently Discussed” block.  We’ll try to update it with awesome content every 2 hours or so, that way there’s always something new to see!

  20. hey i can post the OPS2 Sonic Unlesshed scans there!

  21. I meant ‘Uh . . .

  22. KC Cross August 4, 2008

    @WiiFP: I was just thinking of a trivia question.

    I don’t think he has a last name, but if I had to guess i’d say……

    Prower.

    (Tails flies in.) Tails: “WHAT!?!?!?!?”

    Sonic: “That’s right tails. My last name is Prower.”

    Tails: “We’re brothers?”

    Sonic: “No.”

    (The sun goes down.)

    Were-Sonic (Deep Voice): “I…..am your FATHER!”

    Tails: “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!” haha

    Trivia question: Hedgehog + ______ = 2-Tailed FOX????

  23. . . . Wow. Quite a burts of inspiration i see. Anyway, i know he has a last name, and a middle name, im going to go find out, ill be back.

  24. KC Cross August 4, 2008

    @WiiFP: Wow. Thats crazy stuff. lol

    Hey I guess Dr. Robotnik’s 1st name is Ivo.

    Tails real name is Miles Prower.

    These characters have real names, so WDF SONIC’S LAST NAME

    ima look too

    BE BACK!

  25. KC Cross August 4, 2008

    OK I’m BACK!

    And I didn’t find anything about Sonic having a last (or a middle) name.

    But I have 2 educated guesses as to what Sonic’s (AND SHADOW’S) last name WOULD be.

    1) The latin word “celer” means “quick, speedy, fast.” therefore Sonic’s last name could be “Seller!”

    It’s stupid so it makes sense! Sonic Seller the Hedgehog! A fast talker before he became a fast HERO! lol

    2) Shadow was technically created by Dr. Gerald Robotnik, and Maria would consider Shadow part of the family, so maybe Shadow’s full name could be….Shadow ROBOTNIK the HEDGEHOG!!!

    (Shadow teleports in.)

    Shadow: “Ehhh….it could happen.” lol

    Just a thought.

  26. Ya, i didnt find anything either, but i found something before. But before Sonic’s name was sonic, Sega was considering ‘Mr. Needlemouse’. And Dr. Robotnik was based off of Theadore Roesevelt.

    Haha. “Mr. Needlemouse Unleashed” doesnt fit.

  27. wiifp sonic’s last name is the hegdehog

  28. @Tyler: Are you sure? I know he has a middle name, i just cant find it.

  29. @KC Cross: Sonic’s real name from the comics is Olgivile Maurice Hedgehog, wierd huh?

  30. YES! Thats it, Maurice! Thanks.

  31. wiinterfang August 4, 2008

    Great idea, even if I won’t summit anything, I’ll be able to go to great sites with it.

  32. yea i bet sonic has a middle name

  33. Xeternalstar August 4, 2008

    his middle name is *we interrupt this program for no reason* duh!!

  34. @WiiFP:

    Maurice?

    I think that would be his middle name and his last name would be Hedgehog if his full name Olgivile Maurice Hedgehog.

  35. olvigile maurice thats a funny name xD it would be weird for sonic to be named like that and cool in a funny way

  36. @Dart: Thats what i meant. I couldnt remember his middle name.

  37. Sonication August 4, 2008

    I knew about that news.

    Hey guys! Has anyone checked out that Sonic Oddball Crackups link I submitted?

  38. iNAUDiBLE August 4, 2008

    Ooo, fancy~

    Man, sounds cool. :)

    Yo, while the name for Sonic in the comics might work for the comics, his name in the game is just Sonic the Hedgehog. They had “The” registered has his middle name. XD

  39. the release date is 11/18/08 this is from gamestop/ebgames there you have it campsonic p.s is this true

  40. TailstheHedgehog August 4, 2008

    olgivile…..maurice….. you guys are insane!! lol
    Sonic The Hedgehog….. or Olgivile Maurice Hedgehog. Which one would I choose…..
    hey, Olgovile should be in one of the new games as a baddie. It is a pretty cool name in that sense

  41. Sonication August 4, 2008

    @RockerDuDe: …….is that you, spike?

    New Chronicles Trailer! Not to great though… Dramatic music…

  43. @TailstheHedgehog: Haha, ya. And Before Sonic’s name was sonic, Sega was considering Mr. Needlemouse.

    “Mr. Needlemouse Unleashed”

  44. @WiiFP:
    I’m pretty sure Sonic’s middle name is “The.”

    In all those cartoons, like Hammy the Hawk… or whatever… “The” tends to be their middle name.

    I’m guessing “The” is Sonic’s middle name. In the cartoon atleast… Sonic’s middle name is The, and his last name is Hedgehog.

  45. TailstheHedgehog August 5, 2008

    @WiiFP: Mr Needlemouse heroes, Mr Needlmouse adventure 2, Mr Needlemouse Rush, Mr Needlemouse Rush Adventure, Mario and Mr Needlemouse at the olympic games lol
    theres something seriously messed up there lol!

  46. TailstheHedgehog August 5, 2008

    @Darkspines: Thanks! but the trailer isnt new. Wish they would make a better one. But it’s only DS..
    Still, good of you to post it :)
