**UPDATE** Nintendo of America announced they are bringing Club.Nintendo to America sometime next year. Will a new forum be part of it? Nintendo of America currently has a Tech Support forum: http://techforums.nintendo.com... ...unfortunately, it's only for technical support issues with the site and Nintendo systems/games/accessories. Do you think we deserve better? Playlist of videos related to NSider Closing (both positive and negative, I don't want the collection to be one-sided): http://www.youtube.com/view_pl... Nintendo of America closed their Official Nintendo NSider Forums last year. Since I was a forum moderator there, people kept asking me why they were closed, so I ended up making this video. I'm leaving the video up for archival purposes. Recent updates are posted at the top of this description. And here's something to laugh at: http://www.somethingawful.com/...

NOA_MYSTERIOUS was 'de-NOA'ed' because he was offered a 'better' job and accepted it. I'm certain it was with a company that wasn't Nintendo, so he couldn't be an NOA after that.

you shut it down because its NP column had been retired. I was hoping you'd do the same with Power On to initiate a mass exodus and realise the rules needs to be changed, but you killed the whole forum instead. In the end, NSider turned out to be governed by stupid and unnessecary policies (No friend code sharing OR email sharing OR external site links in sigs? Lame. 1012 posts to even GET a sig? Lame.) I'm probably an odd man out here, but I for one am glad NSider has shut down for good.

Sure, there were some great NOAs such as NOA_GREY and NOA_MYSTERIOUS. The latter of which was "De-NOAed" for unknown reasons, but still hardly any excuse or mercy for you guys. The moment the forums started going downhill was in late 2005, when any and all form of RPing was banned. Yeah, BANNING RPs. I bet you promoted the guy that thought of that, too. :| For the longest time after RPs were banned, the only sub-forum that had any form of sanity left was Epic Center. But nooo...(See post 3)

Well, here we go. Knights of Hyrule, you guys were great...for the most part. There are some of you that I offer high praises (Pelord, Cat, and others whom I can't remember the names of). NOAs: What kind of pot were you smoking? Whatever it was, I don't want any. You "Saged" one person in particular whose favorite line to post in Power On in LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE THREAD was "Let's keep it game related guys!" -_- Come on! You know how stuffy it gets talking about JUST games? (Continuing)

Man, ever since NSider closed, the internet has gotten REALLY boring... Fan sites don't even compare. Ugh, over a year, so much has changed...

Oh my God, this is so miserably depressing. I tried to forget about NSider, and it worked for a while. Last night I actually had a dream about it, and now I can't take it anymore. I loved NSider, and I want it back. Even if it does come back though, it won't be the same. Many members who were integral to the community will be missing, many of whom I was friends with. I urge everybody who still loves NSider to join NSider 2. Let's get the gang back together. Miss you guys.

Yesterday I was thinking about the Nsider Forums and I realized, "Its been over a year" And I was shocked a little bit. I can't believe its already been OVER a year.

Man I was a koopa and was on for about 7 months, I had "usually" thoughtful posts but read alot and well now I have like nothing to do in the internet except well... fantasy football lol...
