Our forum may suck, but look what we're not...

The worst forum is the general discussion forum.

Holy hell. I didn't think people would actually get together on a forum and talk about a small, fake, ugly ginger. And also, I start College tomorrow :(

It's not really much of an ego boost when one of our three admins says that our forum sucks in stark public

But anyway, super cool forum man

Yeah, seriously. It's the truth. We are well past our prime and I don't see us restoring ourselves to our former glory any time soon, if ever. And this isn't for a lack of trying either. I will admit that a large part of the problem is membership, but I don't believe that can be fixed.

When we first started we were getting a fairly steady stream of new members, and we continued that for a while, losing members but gaining new ones, and we were able to survive that way. But the reason behind that was the fact that Nintendo online was a new thing. MKDS was one of the first games on a Nintendo system to go online and have a large audience playing online. So when people started playing online, they started looking for people to play with, and we were able to pull these people from bigger, more impersonal sites like GameFAQs and IGN.

When the Wii came out, it was similar concept. There are plenty of people who don't necessarily want to play handheld games or don't play them online. The Wii opened up another new audience for us to recruit. Now that both systems have been out for a while, we don't have an audience to cater to anymore. Most of the people that play Nintendo systems online (or others, for that matter) have found a site and have settled down.

It's the same reason you don't see advertisements for houses. You'll see plenty for realtors, but those ads are aimed at people who are looking to buy or sell their house, and those situations usually occur out of necessity. When people settle down in a community (online or a neighborhood), they don't like to move unless they have to. Online, they almost never have to move, and most people would we be recruiting have already settled down.

I'm not disputing or agreeing with the statement that the forum sucks, I just think it's stupid that one of our three admins has stated it publicly.

The thing that sucks is that forum gets more activity in a day than we do in a month. Lmao
