I don't know if this is the appropriate place to put it, but there's something that's on my mind. So it seems more and more likely that Nintendo's next platform will be a new console and got me thinking "What happens to this forum then?" If I'm not mistaken, this site was created back before the Wii U was known by its codename "Project Cafe". So what happens when the console is unveiled and eventually released? Do we change the name of the site or must we depart and find a new place?

Just change all forum categories to reflect the new product.

 

I am sure Mourn will add a few sentences. hehe

Not sure its worth the time for the last 3 or 4 active members that remain.

It is always worth the time. 

[Raiden]

Change it to Nintendo Cafe.

 

Then never need another name change.

Sounds good to me

[MatrixChicken]

I'll design the logo.

[Scumbag]

Everyone has slowly begun to accept Wii U as a whole is done. I know who I blame...

[grahamf]

Or we could always put together a new forum dedicated to the new console, with working code and all that.

I actually was in an email conversations with Peter a few months back about buying the website here, but never heard back from him after a couple of exchanges.

That happens, usually a bit more often than anyone would like though.

How about instead of making it a forum site exclusive to one console just make it a forum site on all things Nintendo? That way you won't have to change the name every time a new console is out.

[grahamf]

And call it the Nintendo Café

Yep. Even if we're not the most active forum on the planet, I'd still rather much be here than most other gaming sites.

I could potentially do that, I probably would have actually done it by now if I had the ability to delete subforums.

well, if someone else owns the site and gets the required perms to run it (even just basic ones for editing sub forms or something) would you have any idea how to bring traffic in? because thats the main issue is that there isnt anyone left, im just here because i made na account years ago and check back like once a week. Only been active recently due to e3 and there is actually stuff to talk about

I would have no problem getting traffic organically and paid advertising via adwords. Minor budget would bring in some new peeps.

Yeah having a category for each console maybe good, idk though...

[Tom]

Now is there a specific reason why Felderin0 doesn't want to let go of WUF? I mean, it's not even mentioned in his e-portfolio.

I'd happily turn off adblock for this site or a successor, as long as the revenue isn't going to feld0. Might even click an ad every now and then out of good will
