What does this have to do with anything?

If they have the skill, give them the chance, give them limited admin powers to work on their designated area.

Mmkay, here are my thoughts.

• Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is out very soon (I will have it in my hands in about 11 hours) so I'll give people the weekend to hone their skills then set up a tournament, providing there is sufficient demand and competitors. If we get at least four, it should run fine.
• Art events; I say we appoint 2 or 3 members to be part of an Art Team; they organise art events (which always seem to be quiet popular in my opinion), judge, maybe even help out with the design of the site. It's true that members are more enthusiastic when they have a coloured name because they feel like they have a purpose and are wanted. Indulge them a bit.
• WiiUsers.net -> GameUsers.net. Or something similar. I do think that seeing as a large proportion of the active userbase play multiple consoles, it makes sense to expand. I appreciate that some people might object and claim Nintendo discussion will diminish, but in all fairness, look around the forum; there's not much as it is.

Lame name ftw! Are you guys really considering going multiplatform?

better yet, why not name it the Hardcore Gamer's Nation? That was my name for a different forum. Or take a vote.

Art team: great idea, considering we have a few good art makers here (excluding me; I'm not that great anymore).

Lol I could start an "I have a dream" speech, except this one's not about colors or racialness.

Exactly, like I said we should adpot Ninboy's idea of porting the site over to Pulse Streem and having Pulse Streem as a central forum for PS3/Wii/360. I do not like however all of us going over to Pulse Streem, I think we should just change the URL and skin on this site and make some forum upgrades to use all gaming.

I think STAFF REARRANGEMENTS should take place. (developers)
All in favor, say I.

Hai gaize. I r back. (My computer died from a hard-drive attack. But I have a replacement now. So I should be active again. x: )

Now then. All of you have some good ideas to get the site active and stuff. But, for now, all we can really do is for the Wii to regain some more popularity. There a several interesting games coming out soon, which should obviously help get some traffic to the site. Until then, I wouldn't mind taking part in some tournaments or contests. (Most of you guys have already had some ideas for new tourneys and such.)

Plus, I'm sure school has been keeping us really busy. I have a 5 day weekend coming up soon (For parent-teacher conferences), so I can try to think of some kind of event to do around that time. Hopefully. I'm kinda lazy. *Cough*

[Bounty]

hmm... What if we were to also bring pack the password game? Underground forums, for those who are worthy to crack a password (staff get in automatically), etc.

I really like this idea. This is very possible, if we got the right people.

I've seen other websites port over to multiplatform very smoothly, and Ninboys agreement with the idea makes I that much better.
