It's a sad day in a small corner of the online community...

#1 Post by Byakuya San »

Yes, after four years, the Nintendo Nsider Forums are closing.
nintendo.com wrote:Nintendo NSider Forums Update


Nintendo is working on a major overhaul to Nintendo.com to support the continued success of Nintendo DS and Wii. As we prepare for this huge site update, Nintendo must unfortunately close the Nintendo NSider Forums message boards indefinitely beginning Sept. 17, 2007.

For more than four years, these NSider Forums have fostered engaging, robust debates, a strong community and friendships. While their future remains uncertain, in the interim we invite our fans to build on the spirit of community by starting their own Nintendo discussion sites. Remember also that the unique features available with Nintendo DS and Wii give Nintendo the opportunity to communicate directly with fans, while also enabling fans and friends around the world to communicate with each other.

Nintendo has the greatest fans in the world, and it is because of their support and passion that Nintendo DS and Wii have become so hugely successful around the world. We hope that the faithful Nintendo community members will look forward to the future games and website updates that will enhance Nintendo's global community of Wii and Nintendo DS owners.

Starting Sept. 17, existing NSider Forums will be available in Read Only format for one week. Private Messages will be disabled. On Monday, Sept. 24, the forums will be removed from public view.

* To visit the Read Only version of the NSider Forums, click here.

Thanks for your understanding and continued support. We'll see you soon elsewhere on the Web.

I personally don't mind that much, the whole thing was screwed up anyways (you couldn't edit your posts until you had 1000 posts, or something absurd like that). Of course, I will miss the joy of being able to go to any random board, refresh, and have at least 10 new posts...but enough about what I think. How do you feel about this?

Wuh? I thought it was only for a while, not forever. D:

Well.. this sucks because I had friends on there ._. Luckily I can still contact my closest friends, but still. I'm honestly mad they did it with no notice.

:roll:

Yeah clearly few people here care... the three of you have 9000 posts between you on this forum. I'm sure you'd be annoyed if this forum closed down.

Probably. But would the people of the NSider forums care?

Unlikely.

Just goes to show how people only care about what's directly affects them. Its why no one cares about poverty, earthquakes in south america, or black people having aids.

TBH though Paul the people on this website post almost every mundane detail of their lives on this website (I go 50np on the wheel, its raining, my cat is purring) so either treat them all with scorn or ignore them all.

And?
I've got about that between Warseer and transfans by myself.
Just means I have Insomnia and an Aethernet connection.
