Next time, f' em!

Once a "N'Sider" always an "N'Sider" they would never fit in with our people . . . unless we started breeding and over time our differences would fade.

In my opinion it's a good thing.  A lot of the NSiders came here.  We definitely have a different environment than they are used to.  Those that prefer this environment will stay, those who don't (who would just disrupt everything anyway) will go.

Question: Did any stay? I sure don't see any spreading outside of the general chat thread...

This is why we don't get new members. You know, you guys could try to be helpful.

I've run a message board with the same 15-20 people for a while now and I see nothing wrong with NEVER getting new members.

If you have a good core community, why look for more?

Because you will NEVER be as cool as gamefaqs with all its cool cussing, flame wars, politics, and 9 year old kid vs 20 year old battle royals.

...Actually, that is some good reasoning. There is a danger point where if you have too few members the forum is at risk of being abandoned, but NWR is still safely above that mark by a large amount.

The thing is that, on a serious note (Yes I know ::GASP:, it isn't that hard to get accepted here. Look at Mashiro, we forget that he has not been here that long and it wasn't hard at him at all to get brought in. This board seems to have a culture built around people who can express their opinions with some competency, yet at the same time cannot take things super seriously. I think that takes a form of maturity there, the trouble with Gamefaqs is that it is so big, that you don't really have much of a "community" what you have is a bunch of random and clashing members who are nothing but screennames, and are not really held accountable in any sense for what they say.

*Cue standing ovation*

That's exactly what I always thought but explained much better. That's why I like smaller fansites, there's a community instead of just a mob and one-or-two people with an obscene amount of posts/rep/karma/whatever rating system they use.

There is also a form of elitism that develops with gamefaqs, which you touched on, since things are so disconbobulated people can group together and hammer someone down big time if they disagree. Heck I've seen instances where someone was mistaken in describing a gameplay feature and they were swarmed with name calling, all for absolutely nothing except to gang up on someone.

brought in = easily ignored

Really, the striking thing about our forum is each individual manages to create and maintain a character, instead of being an avatar+screenname+flashysignature spammer that seeks post counts or signature real estate or something awful like "Sage status".

not all Nsiders are bad, though most are mmm like the general populous they go with the flow.
there are a few Nsiders that are actually worth having around, but not many are left after nintendo weeded them out over the summer.
some did survive to the it closed down, but they were rare.

i would compare google and yahoo, but it would incite a flame war on wii(my old Nsider sig).

I get the sinking feeling Pro666 really really really doesn't like me . . .

Edit: To add to this, I appreciate GP bringing me up and I appreciate these forums. Which should be obvious because I post here so much =D

I like keeping up with this Nintendo community. It's got a great mix of posters that have all different viewpoints and it always makes for a good time.

It's really a great little forum community and I'm more than happy to be a part of it. Regardless if some people don't like me

Lol, what I also like about the boards is that even when a rare knock out beat em up fight happens, things recover from it. Heck I still consider Evan a friend even if he sometimes gets me upset. At Gamefaqs if you got in a fight, there is really nothing there to even make you want to "patch" things up so to speak, it is one nameless poster insulting another nameless poster, there is 0 accountability via a relationship.
