THE NINTENDO ELEMENT QUESTION
SHOULD WE CONTINUE AS A SITE FOR ANOTHER YEAR?
Cause I'm wondering if I should even bother at this point. We had a great start in August/September of 2013--continued activity at a decent level for a few months into 2014--but things have wound down SO much, with only a few instances of actual activity(albeit very moderate/minimal). It makes me wonder if 2015 will be our last year as a forum.
I have a choice to make in a few months for our 2nd-Anniversary: SHOULD I renew the Domain name/URL?
--I DO want to, as I've spent so much time and effort on this site since I started it with the intention of being "THE PERFECT PLACE FOR NINTENDO GAMERS"--yet it's barely been anything more than a desert.
Negativity aside, I need feedback and thoughts from YOU--at least those that see this, and have the where-with-all to post a reply that offers a suggestion, GREAT idea, or some sage piece of advice--preferably one that won't spark a debate, break ANY site rules, or be something that makes me glad to be the guy in charge of this site.
Should we continue?
Your choice, cause either way--THIS site was made for YOU, the Nintendo Elements!

I mean, I'd like to keep the website as much as the next guy. I have been able to be active but since the site has had minimal activity, I kinda gave up. That was my thought about 4 months ago. I don't know how we can make the site active again. I mean, we have new posts but it's always from the same people. I've tried advertising and tried to bring friends to the site. Any ideas Fyree?

Giving up is not a solution. What needs to be done is for us to re-write the frame work of this forum. I've always had a vision on helping you make this become more than just a forum, but nothing would ever align. What needs to be shown is how we work as a community, which is why I wanted to do that Podcast idea like a year ago... We all need to be more interactive with one another, then maybe people can see this place as fun.. And maybe you'll once again have a fighting chance.

dude, I'm out of ideas--that's why I'm ASKING you guys. I've tried just about everything I could think of--=at least from a "One Guy doing way too much by himself" perspective. Twitter for the site FB for the site Promo Cartoons Spamming people to be active Contests Tournaments Events Giveaways FREE stuff --- DarkIceI'm with you on a podcast, but that's fallen through like so many other things. We need more people involved in projects like that, and when we do have something "planned" or "scheduled" no one's there to help, or actually be a part of it. That's the #1 problem--ACTIVE Member numbers. We need to restart somewhat, I know that. I want to implement a better POINTS system--something that I know Proboards has in the plug-in library. DO we have a need for Tournaments on the site? Should I drop the WIFI HUB despite the need I still feel we can be a good site for getting Online things going? |

Completely agree with Matt. We all need to have a town hall, type meeting, and voice our opionions and suggestions. I think a podcast/skype group chat would help.

You, me, Samus is good enough for a podcast, we don't need every person in the forum in 1 skype call. And that's what we need to work on as a whole as well, commitment. DO NOT get rid of anything event related or the hubs, that may end up being a strong point in the group down the road. |

You guys KNOW you have my blessing for a podcast!!!
I may/may not be able to Skype Chat/PodCast--due to randomly scheduled days at work--but if YOU can get something done, I'd appreciate it. Send me a video/audio file and maybe I can slap it on the YouTube.
Step UP to the plate, and deliver.
