...Ouch. I just read that. There goes TBT advertising there. I mean, you're not even allowed to go to quality sites like us? Gah. See why I don't go there much anymore? The Golden Age is dead and gone.
Official forums have always been lame, and I doubt that's set to change in the future. If anything, this new rule is just to cover their own asses if some dolt goes and gets themselves raped or something.
But hey! Why not stick around here a little longer, folks?
NSider was once a community, now anything "off topic" is being taken away, power on is only there to hold all the spammers, and it'll be deleted next.
"Why are we making rule? We want to make the Nintendo Nsider forums as safe as we possibly can."
If by safe, you mean you dont want your slaves members going anywhere else where, heaven forbid, they may have fun. then yes.
"We've discovered that personal websites frequently contain private information, so to protect the privacy of our members we want to avoid promoting these websites."
Private information like friendcodes, which, apparently, nintendo doesn't want people to share... they're there so you can play with people you meet online pretty much, yet, they dont want you to meet them on NSider, its pretty much like katz said, they're covering their own hides.
sad to see nintendo's forum in such a horrible position, tons of new rules, its really time for them to blow it and make a new one.
True Pokefab, true. Back then, the Admins were good to the members, the Mods were nice, and everything was as it should be. But, just one small decision led it to this.
You know, now that I think about it...maybe bringing in NOA_Rufus had something to do with it? It seems like things got worse ever since he came here. Maybe he brought it down...
Yeah, NSider Conspiracy theory.
@Fish - I agree, I think NSider's trying to box up all its members so none leave. Trying to turn into an online North Korea.
