That was a comment aimed towards everyone. With point #2 right after it though, I could see why you thought it was aimed directly at you.

Anyways, I completely agree with your post about the layout. If nobody objects, I'll change it. (I'll probably wait a good 48 hours just to give time for everybody to see this post)

I'm fine with it as well.  Any time we can get rid of some length on this forum, it's a good thing.

By the way, the Free Talk board will be moved to a child board of Welcome to Wii Unite.  Just wanted it to have a lot of visibility for the first few days.

So how do you think we can become a site for gaming like GameFAQS?

Well I think first off we need to be well established in a couple small(ish) games. This community was primarily created by a large group of us from the mohh2 gamefaqs boards (I'm aware we all know this, but I figured it should be mentioned to reinforce my point  Tongue) We are tightknit community because a fair amount of us knew each other through one gaming experience (MoHH2). The problem is that we were established when there really weren't any online offerings for Wii, so people did look to forums and such to find people to play with. But with so many social adaptions in online experience nowadays, forums just don't take off. For example, the nexusmods website has a huge following of modders for bethesda games, but now the steam workshop is looking to make that obsolete. Online gaming is only going to get more refined, and that leaves less room for sites like this one, or gamefaqs for that matter. If we are to expand, (assuming that's our goal) I think we need to establish a presence in games that still give you opportunities to advertise your community. I think we could possibly do well to have a strong presence in the new counterstrike (on pc). If a group of us played competitively and pulled together to host a server, then we could advertise the site that way. For people who only own consoles, you could do something similar with battlefield 3. Hell, if somebody wants to make a gamertag/psn id/username called wiiunite.org, that might attract people if you're actually good at the game you're playing  Afro

tl;dr: Online gaming is changing, and private forums are suffering for it. It's not enough for us to play together, we need to be playing against others too. We have to be creative in getting our name out there. Interesting topics don't create new users, they keep the old ones around.

Edit: Our own domain would go a long way too, but I'm aware of the difficulties of that

Falink: There actually is a PSN called WiiUniteDotOrg. And I don't wanna be cocky or brag, so I'll just say I fit most people's standard of being good and ****, in my biased opinion.

mind if i use it for bf3? im probably not the best but i do usually get people after me specifically trying to kill me after i nemesis them for the 2nd time Tongue

plus i get banned from servers fairly often. usually that happens when you totally own the server admin and they can't do **** to stop you. they just ban you instead and give a crappy reason like, omg you m16a3 scrub or shotty nube or whatever.

people see that **** go down

Good thoughts, Falink.

I know we've been talking about making the next Counterstrike game our next big one, so we'll see how that goes.

You realize like one person in this topic actually plays the Wii, right?

Everyone else plays PS3/PC.

Other than Pillow (who mentioned a Wii Specific GG thread) and Falink (who mentioned the Wii within the starting of this forum) who mentioned the Wii in this topic regarding creating content?

Yes, I am pretty much the only one that regularly plays Wii. Which is why it's hard to start discussions or create activity there.

well, to me, this site is strictly for "off-topic conversations." if i want to talk about gaming, i'll catch ya at gamefaqs.

And that is perfectly fine. You can use the site for your off-topic discussions on this board. But that doesn't change the fact that the site is a site for gaming. I don't expect WiiUnite to become as big as GameFAQs because that is a pipedream. I mainly want to see some gaming discussion especially on the Wii side of things.

@ Turbo

Who owns the site?  Is all this discussion and tinkering a attempt to find ways to monetize the forum?  What is the end game?

@ Krzy

Hacking has ruined the online gaming experience for me, you just do not know who is good anymore.  I found this forum originally to get tips and try to improve my gameplay from superior players.  Most players with big kd's have a "edge", nothing to read about anymore. Cry
