Well it isn't that bad at Nsider, it is still better than most forums I visit to tell you the truth it just has something that most don't.

I really should makes copies of this argument...
*deep breath*

I was a very active RPer, and just as angry as all of you when they closed PO(RP). However, looking at it from their point of view, I can fully understand their point.
Constantly, people were breaking the rules of Nsider, which are hardly that strict. Flamming, Censor-Bypassing, getting off-topic far too eaisly.
Though, they did move to eliminate us very swiftly, instead of forcing the rules more harshly. Ofcourse, we got a few warnings, that were completly ignored, and they should have begun account suspensions and bannings all together.

So, Right thing to do? Yes. At the right time? No.
Postcount +1 (Unless on the Spam Board)

I think that NSider just needs to realize that they can't completely eliminate flaming. There's always going to be some guy who can't control his temper, or some guy who feels the need to be important. Should they have had higher consequences for flaming and breaking other rules? Of course. Should they have shut down boards that we good people also RPed on? No.

Yeah I established a fear of making threads due to many people on Nsider would make comments on peoples threads such as, "You Fail! *insert link to youfail.org*", "That's old!", "O RLY?" , "You fail at life..." <_< etc...And I want to make a two year thread, I am going to hope it turns out good <_<

Yeah well there are still some parts of Nsider that are good. I think they took the RP Boards away at the wrong place/time , maybe they should have gave us a clear warning like on Power On when andy threatened to shut it down right? <_< Not sure though I think it is another lost cause. We can't use petitions, they are outlawed among everything and I see petitions as something important in real life, but they seem to mean nothing online.

For example,(True Story <<) in real life they were going to shut down a local park, one of the only good ones in the area. All the kids of the neighborhood were disappointed. My friends and I saw this disappointment and remembered all the good times we had on the park. We joined together, and made an important petition up. We got on our bikes and went around the neighborhood racing to get signitures of others who shared our views. Then around our neighborhood we posted signs about the meeting, wanting people to support our cause at this meeting. Then as the meeting came, many showed up to support us. We were even there, and our petitions helped the mayor and high people realize that this park should stay in the neighborhood. See petitions make a difference in some instances...

Just on the Internet, more specifically Nintendo Nsider Forums they mean nothing. They are tossed aside one signiture or 50 of them. So NOAs rule Nsider with an Iron fist sometimes I am sure. I am sure they could delete Power On without care of others opinions on the forums of it. I never saw any of the older boards get saved, they just went away. I do though understand a bit the viewpoints of the NOAs, they probably take things from a more "business" standpoint. What boards will benefit us as a company? What boards will not and are just taking up space? What boards are too much work, and are breaking the most rules? Etc..

Anyhow I'm sure the deletion of the RP Boards resulted in something larger, a little more "RP Freedom". What I mean by that is, on these forums they don't have to be Nintendo related, they can be original if you really wanted to. More creativity for there is no rule that says, "You can not use ________, _______, or _______. XD

But then bad points are that lack of members. On Nsider there were many that went online everyday. So there was always members that could join your RP, many new RPers, and the older exprienced RPers. On one of the RP forums, (RoW, New Nsider, etc..) there are usually the same faces RPing all the time, which after a while it can get boring, unlike at nsider where we have many new faces everyday, and some old mixed in. Yeah there are bad and good viewpoints to everything on this matter I am sure.

Anyhow, there will always be spam phases/flaming periods on Power On or somewhere. I have seen them from May 06 2004-Present. Heck, I even participated in a spam one once. It was in Summer of 2004 and there were a load of, "_______'s Only" threads. So I got ahead and make a , "Yoshi's Only, Do you remember when _____" <_< Don't ask, Gigey made a "Gigey's Only Thread" It was just a hilarous phase, all threads were locked or deleted :O Yes Mia was a big bad spammer :P

Okay time for me to eat my lunch <_< Why did I type this, no one knows! Why didn't I play KH II? My brother is addicted to it and it playing it non-stop <_< Boo
