#195712 Removal of the Chat

Posted by Wolfy on 16 April 2013 - 05:48 PM

I'm fine with this now, Skype works great and we don't have to worry about what we talk about and we can decide who joins our conversation.




#195696 Removal of the Chat

Posted by Arioch on 16 April 2013 - 05:30 PM

With the recent expiration of the IP chat service, Feld0 and I have reached a decision on the fate of the chat.  I'm sorry to say, but we have decided to discontinue the chat.

 

Let me make it clear why we chose to do so, the chat was not helping the forum community and has slowly devolved over time.  Despite what the chat used to be in the past, it became a place to spam, questionable content, and a hotbed of drama (with various issues that leaked onto the forums themselves).  There was no one member that did this, it is the nature of a real time chat.  In a real time chat, users are less likely to act decent towards other users, whether it be because of the moderation difficulties or because they simply cannot control themselves.  There were no other real options possible to "save" the chat, the chat itself was incredibly difficult to moderate, even with administrative permissions.

 

The purpose and goal of this site is to be a great forum and community for discussing the WiiU and Nintendo, but unfortunately the chat has put a tremendous strain on the community.  Without the chat, we can focus more on strengthening the community and making it the best we can.

#194981 The Let's get Stupid edition 2nd annual Wii U Forum awards-Nominations!

Posted by Zinix on 15 April 2013 - 12:01 PM

Man, this really goes to say how far the forums have fallen. Back when the first awards were going on, everyone could take these categories as a joke. It's pretty sad that people have to get butthurt over something as pointless as this. Anyway, looking forward to the results!

.

It's just people trying to stir up drama. The people getting worked up don't have to view or participate in this. It clearly obvious by the title that these are joke awards. If you really get upset at not getting an award or feel like you're being mistreated, you need a reality check

#194643 Game characters you have a crush on

#194633 What do you predict the next 3D Mario and Mario Kart will be?

Posted by umegames on 14 April 2013 - 06:50 PM

I'm just hoping mario kart for wii-u takes some pointers from Sonic racers, bring in more variety of characters and have variety in the tracks.




#194596 What do you predict the next 3D Mario and Mario Kart will be?

Posted by Byakuya Togami on 14 April 2013 - 05:48 PM

A 3D platformer and a cart racer. huehuehuehuheuhuehuheuhue
 
On topic: Honestly, I never know what to expect with Nintendo with the 3D Mario games.
 
As for Mario Kart 8 or whatever, I think adding third party characters would actually be a neat edition to the series, as well as maybe, like...
 
...skateboards. I dunno, I can't think of a good vehicle type past karts and motorbikes.

I honestly don't think that that'd be a good idea.... It'd defeat the purpose of calling it Mario Kart.

Posted by Chaotix on 14 April 2013 - 09:00 PM

This reminds me of high school. It's a stupid popularity contest aimed to make the popular shine and to troll the unpopular.

Well like no one's is asking you to vote so and like zinix said  it's just harmless fun.

 

Don't ruin it for others.




#193118 Rayman Legends delay results in 30 new levels, several new boss fights

Posted by Gamejunkie on 11 April 2013 - 11:46 AM

I still haven't forgiven them for delaying the game although I have no problem with being multiplatform. I will still get it on day one though as Rayman is one of my favourite franchises. Personally I couldn't care less about GTA V as its an overrated franchise and not in the least fun and entertaining. It certainly won't put me off buying this game.


#193401 Disney Just Gutted Their Hand-Drawn Animation Division

Posted by Occult Satanist on 11 April 2013 - 05:03 PM

I cant believe this.......if anything that was one of the strongest parts of their company.......what is wrong with them this could hurt them badly




#193368 Banner Changes

Posted by Mitch on 11 April 2013 - 04:30 PM

If I made a banner and it was just horrible, because i have the art skills of a kindergartner, but I still managed to get enough votes....would it still be put up?




#193060 So 3rd party games are coming to Wii U....Are you getting them?

Posted by Carver on 11 April 2013 - 09:18 AM

I haven't really seen any 3rd party games coming to the Wii U that have really caught my interest other than Rayman, but then again, I haven't done all that much research.
