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!

    @Nano: Good for you! I’m listening to some of the songs off Sonic Wrecks. The way my computer’s set up, you don’t need to download them to listen.

    After a while, you realise that ‘Super Sonic Speed’ actually samples a voice clip.

    @TailstheHedgehog: The pair from Sonic the Fighters. Bark and Bean now appear in the US comic book. Bark is one of those big cool guy types and Bean is psychotic (when he gets taken away, he promises Sonic that he’ll write every day).

    @Umiyuri: woah! again another good list! I like your description of silver, though technically he’s silver/white, but grey because were all abit sour towards him right now. lol

    @TailstheHedgehog: I believe that the coloring went like this:

    Sonic (red+white (shoes)+blue: colours of many flags)
    Eggman (red: ‘red and blue’ are considered opposities)
    Tails (orange: opposite of blue) (Tails gradually got lighter and turned yellow)
    Amy: (pink: girl’s colour)
    Knuckles: (red: ‘red-yellow-blue’ are primary colours)
    Chaotix (green+purple+yellow/orange: secondary colours)
    Bark & Bean (cream+green: typical colours of polar bear and mallard)
    Shadow (black+red: dark, evil colours)
    Rouge (white: contrast to black)
    Cream (orange+beige: name pun)
    Blaze (purple+pink+white (shoes): feminine equivalent of Sonic’s colour scheme)
    Silver (grey: ran out of colours)

    i have been worried about sonic unleashed lately…………………
    its about the of the shade of the characters it seems that on wii and probably on ps2 the shade of sonic isnt developed.it doesnt has any form on sonic´s shade.this could be serious because on sonic adventure 2 battle (that was on nintendo gamecube) the shade of the characters are developed and on nintendo wii(the best console for nintendo yet……)the shade is not developed.

    (if you didnt catch my advise) try and watch on you tube the shade on sonic adventure 2 battle and sonic unleashed for the «wii» and here´s the link:

    @Umiyuri: awesome list! jeez, imagine knuckles with a jamaican accent lol Looks like they kept an element of rastafarian in him with the quick temper and dreadlocks. Didnt rastafarians also paint themselves a reddish colour? maybe thats where his red coat comes from. Or it could just symbolise and underline his aggression and ‘dont muck with it’ attitude.

    @Umiyuri:
    Umiyuri, you are an unusually wise Sonic fan. You should stay here to atleast speak your opinion of Sonic Unleashed (under the same name) when the game comes out.

    Or… atleast until the Tokyo Game Show… which i think is in September.

    1. ‘Needle-mouse’ would be an accurate translation of ‘hari-nezumi’, which is the word for hedgehog. So, you basically saying Mr Hedgehog. Which proves his last name was Hedgehog in the design stages at least. Nowadays, I think he’d object to being called a ‘Mr’ because it makes him sound out. Then somebody asks him if he means ‘don’t call me Mr, that’s my father’s name’ and he goes, “I have a father!?”

    2. ‘The’ is indeed registered as Sonic’s middle name. As it is for a majority of the characters. Amy and Tails escape this.

    3. Nearly every anthropomorphic Sonic character’s shoes are mainly red or a warm colour (pink, purple, brown, yellow or orange). Mephiles is the only anthropomorph not to have any of these colours on his shoes.

    In other news, Knuckles Facts!:

    1. Knuckles is a ‘hari-mogura’ - a ‘needle-mole’, explaining why he was translated as a mole in the movie.

    2. He was originally designed to be Rastafarian and they considered a Jamaican accent in the English Sonic Adventure translation.

    3. It’s thought the symbol on his chest, which is actually called a ‘lace’, was a nod to Nike.

    4. If you saw Knuckles in real life, huge chances are that his nose and mouth would be the same - as is the state of a real echidna. They also have dark snouts that almost resemble the straw-like ones of butterflies.

    5. And Knuckles calls Rouge ‘bat-woman’ in Japan.

    Links get moderated pretty quickly, but in an effort to give each link a fair amount of time, we post the next link in “line” every 2-3 hours.

    That way, every link has at least a full day on the front page ;)
