Daily Game - Free games for your forum
Mod Version: 2.2, by DailyGame

Daily Game posts a new flash game to your vBulletin once per day in a new thread. Daily Game will help your forum by:

• Starting up conversations on slow days
• Increasing retention since users are playing on your forum
• Help you get links and improve SEO (flash games get a lot of links!)
• Make you money! Use your own ad code to display an ad while the flash game is loading. These pre-roll ads get very high eCPM!

Install time: 5 minutes
Installation difficulty: Easy
Demo: http://www.playedonline.com/forum/index.php?t=40

Updated to version 2.1 : simple_xml support is no longer required, enabled bbcodes on the game thread
