1. What do you like about NWR?
I like how the reviews are laid out. There's enough information for both in-depth analysis, and then a second page that helps break down the score. There's also a small graph of pros and cons, which actually helps both parts of the review.
The contests are great. This might be biased (I won one about 2 years ago), but I think they are handled very well, and tend to be better than simple "your name got drawn out of the hat" contests.
The boards are pretty good in terms of community. I'm not part of the social constructs here and probably never will be, but it's nice to see people having a good time and discussing both random bits and the gaming industry. It seems that the boards are modded pretty well also, though maybe extending some authority to more prominent members would be a good thing to try.

2. What do you dislike about NWR?
The message boards are fun, but they are out of date. Mostly I have an issue with the different tags this place uses, but this is a complaint really ONLY because I tend to copy/paste information between here and CAG, and generally have to edit my posts. So in reality, this "complaint" is really more of a personal thing that probably doesn't affect other users. However, moving to a more streamlined and widely used system would be nice, but nothing that's going to really bother me either way.

3. What would you like to see more of on NWR?
NWR could probably carry more editorials to help differentiate it from some other Nintendo-centric sites. If all sites are pretty much working with the same information, then it comes down to individual things like interviews, opinion/editorial pieces, etc. I enjoy those sorts of things and would like to see more of them if possible.

4. Do you think there's anything we do too much of? If yes, what?
Nothing I can think of that would be negative.

5. Why do you visit NWR?
For the boards, for the reviews, and because I've come here a long time. I haven't been as active here as other members, but I know a good site when I see it.
Also, you guys stole Wyndyman, waaaaaaaay back in the day from NintendoNation, and I sort of followed him here.

6. Is NWR your first choice for Nintendo news? Reviews? Preview coverage?
I tend to not really read a lot of reviews/previews/impressions, but I definitely come to NWR for these things. So in that respect, I'd say that - overall - this is the first place I come for these things.
For news, I tend to stick to CAG's forums and/or gonintendo.com. However, because I know those places are FULL of rumors and the like, I know for certain that if I want something validated, I can come to NWR. So in that respect, you could say I use this place as my first line of authenticity and verification of something as being genuine instead of a "hay my buddy's half brother in law totally works at ___ and said MEGATOOOOOOOOOOON." So in that respect, you guys are my first source of determining what is nonsense versus what is real.

7. Do you like the front page design?
I'm not wild about the "fuzzy" overlay that happens when you mouse over one of the top buttons. Also, there is a ton of white. White white white.
Overally it is very clean, but there is waaaaay too much white. However I don't know how easily altered that is.
Also, this is TOTALLY minor, and I'm curious if anyone else has this problem. Every once and a while, I tend to click on "Chat" when I mean to click on "Forum" in the left hand menus, and then I have to suffer through waiting for the Java client to load and whatnot. This is me being clumsy, but maybe the Chat option could be moved down or something? Or the Forum option given a little more spacing from other links?

8. Are there any more comments you have about Nintendo World Report in general?
Not outside of keep-up-the-good-work. That is, unless you want to send me lots of neat schwag I can't get on my own or have access to.
Hope this helps!
