My two cents

Nitro's note: LM's and such, feel free to see
my post on the LM temple.


Alrighty, I'm back and boy do I have a lot of suggestions.
So get ready, this will take quite a bit.

Board wise

I think we need a bit of board re-construction. I mean
a lot of the boards here are un-used and well deserted.
I think we should merge News with Reviews and Previews
to make a "Game-Cast" board or something. That way,
all news/reviews/previews will be in one convient board.

Perhaps just genral Nintendo game discussion and general
system discussion would be best. That way, we don't have
fourteen sub-forums just floating around. If not, maybe
just major systems or franchises like Mario, Zelda, Metroid
and Pokemon.

Also, retiring the colosseum. The board gets little activity
and maybe we can host an official colosseum contest on
the TNZ HQ. It will cut down on un-important boards and
make the layout look nice and clean.

Wi-Fi wise, I think we only need one board. Maybe just
a few floated threads for the friend codes and such. Like
I said earlier, this would cut down on the numerous subforums
we got going on.

I think that the Your Boards/HQs, casino, and Land of the Bobs,
should be retired. They get no use what so ever and I think
the purpose has been served. Also, perhaps making Other
Systems a sub-forum to the Nintendo Zone HQ. That should
clear everything up board wise.

Contests

TNZ is in different need of contests. One idea would be a
Post of the week. For example, every week the admins
go through all the good threads and pick one great thread
and award it Post of the week. It can be from any board and
perhaps have a Post of the week hall of fame in the announcements
board. Maybe the winner can even win a special rank.

Also, maybe a new style of SOTW in Egads Gallery. Hosted
by Kevin or somebody, the SOTW will remain the same as
it did before. However, like before, no prizes will be given out
to SOTW just bragging rights.

Also, a colosseum contest in the TNZ hq. Every week, a new
theme. If you win the colosseum contest three times, you
win a special rank known as "Gold Medal".

Aside from that, maybe special events. Like a week long
celebration on something and what not. Just to keep the
mood up.

TNZ Online

After seeing TBT's site, I think we could make one very
similar. Just to post news and such. That could be made
very easily and would keep everything organized.

Random

I think we need a new skin. This one is great and all,
but we could always use change of scenery. A new style
and banner would make the forums look great. Perhaps
a blue-ish theme?

Also, after the sucess of Camp Wii...I think we should
make some more projects with TBT and Nintendo Forums.
Perhaps a Alinos Ruins type forum for mature gamers that
are invited. Not everyone can join. It would be like a Nintendo
IF after dark, where colorful discussions are allowed.

So there is my ideas, what do you think?
"After a great workout, you'll happily go hit the weight room, or add extra miles, or eat spinach and broccoli. But what will you do when you're feeling like crap, or all your friends are going out, or it's pouring rain, or you're running poorly? To keep striving over the course of years, you need to smooth out the natural highs and lows of your desire, so that you have a constant and unrelenting force that drives you off the sofa and out to run. Every day. Twice."

I agree with pretty much all of it. Also, I think we should ditch all those old contests we used to do that have their own pinned topics...

A fourth 'mature' board sounds like an exelent idea.

Anyway, it also wouldn't hurt an admin to fix the subforum links. ;)

All good ideas. The mature IF forum is great idea. I grow tired of the "What's Your Favorite..." and "Do you think ______ is good/bad/ugly?"

I'd do some of those board changes, but I have to wait untill the other admins agree.

Back in April, TNZ held a beta test called the Alinos Ruins.
It was a special promotional forum for mature gamers.
You had to be invited though to get in. The rules were
very little, foul language was accepted. Thats what I meant.
