You're very kind.

There were a lot of people who contributed to Wii Unite's birth, starting with those who voted, and then those who came to the launching pad at wikidot and helped make some decisions.  Ocelotz and Ohio deserve the special recognition you gave them, but lots of potential moderators helped shape WiiUnite however they could, including our own BMan. 

Before WiiUnite was even conceived of, EVERYONE in the clan community contributed to help make it possible.  All the clans and clan members that refused to bow to the Wii's supposed inferior status and just play CoD4 instead (*glares at Gift*), that recognized it's unique hardware potential (especially for shooters) and endured Nintendo's flawed online structure, and sought out other gamers and clans to compete with... without them, there's no market for WiiUnite.  Without them there's no home for core gamers like me.

Now that it exists, all core Wii gamers benefit.  Gamefaqs isn't bad, but it's too generalized and too rigid in format for a thriving multi-game Wii specific community, with too much crap to dig through and moderators who don't much care what we need to make our community work.  GF was a good birth canal, but it's time we broke out on our own and helped foster one of the most unique Wii Communities in the world.

We unite in the face of criticism from core gamers that don't get the potential the Wii has for core competitive gaming.  We unite in the face of Nintendo's obstinate and screwed up view of how online gaming should be structured.  We unite in the face of forums that have to cater to every little piece of crap title and bury the good stuff.  We unite in the face of criticism of the Wii as a kiddie machine.  We unite in the face of forums that punish core competitive gaming and clans.  WiiUnite.
