Please do not make posts regarding raids or banishments of the Techsider forum. Nintendo of America has created this forum in order to provide technical support for those in need. If you wish to discuss Techsider, please do so here.
Vaatix: Have to include more things, as I come up with them. We'll start with this.
Bashing Nintendo's tech forums. It's nice that you have an opinion. Go present it in the Serious discussion board intelligently.
All right. I suppose tech support was what NSider was intended for as well, but without most community elements like discussion about topics and not just help, not many ppl will be coming back regularly to answer the questions that are intended to be answered.
The idiots need to stop spamming.

Probably to look over the posts there.

That's most likely not all they are doing. They feel that they didn't expect a lot of Nsiders to return to the forums. I suppose that Nintendo wants to evaluate what they should do for tomorrow and how they should handle more of these idiots that want to spam the forums. I don't think they expected this many complaints. I think they thought that people would be angry but not this angry. I am glad they brought the PM function back. We don't need people spamming over there. If you all keep spamming Nintendo will not ever bring the Nsider forums back.
It appears as if they disabled PMs too.
I PMed 3 admins, and I got a reply from some one but when I opened my PM box it kept closing and now I can't see what it said.
They did close the forums down for the night. NOA_Jane said that the forums would come up tomorrow.
I want to know why Nintendo put such an inexperienced employee in charge of an entire forum that they knew was going to be populated by Nsiders? I think Nintendo planned this from the start. We've been had! Or something. What were they thinking? In all seriousness, NOA_Jane sucks at her job. They should have had a more knowledgeable admin there. Nintendo didn't apparently learn from the mistakes they had with the original Nsider forums did they?

Nintendo doesn't care. All they want to do is avoid a lawsuit. Come 2014, those forums will be closed before you can blink.

They don't care. They haven't cared about the forums since Nsider was around. These forums were made because they had something in their manual saying that if they needed assistance that they should go to a forum and without Nsider around these forums had to be made. They are a weaker shell of their former self. That's all.
Let us add.
NP makes the magazine.
NP makes the guides.
NP had a section.
NP did NOT have tech support.
Therefore, NP will PROBABLY have a forum for discussion AND arts.

I disagree to an extent. Nintendo of America does care, but not about us. Ever since the release of the DS, Nintendo's focus has shifted to casual and brand new gamer's, people who have probably never picked up a controller before. Many of us "hardcore" gamers know how to mod the Wii, so the forums are most definitely not built for us, just for the newcomers with technical issues. Why would we NEED an official forum? The fact that I'm able to reply to this post somewhere shows that we are going to congregate regardless, so there is no need for an official Nintendo discussion forum to exist at the moment.
Sadly, NOA doesn't give a crap that we want an official forums from them to just chill with our friends...All they are doing is making a Tech Support forum so that they don't get sued for not having one, since it says people can go to them to get help for Nintendo videogames.

Hm, has anybody tried PM'ing Admins and asking them about a newer NS or about why they closed the old one? ????
Just wondering.

Wouldn't be worth it; you'd just get some ambiguous macro'd answer that the consumer service people use.

Dude, stop.
KEK_INC's little seven-year explanation doesn't mean a thing.
If Nintendo were to include the new http://techforums.nintendo.com/nins/ address in upcoming game manuals, the "life" of the forum would be extended again and again...
...But here's the thing:
KEK_INC doesn't know anything, and his little explanation is untrue.

Also, the World Wide Web has only been around for only 15 years or so.

Yeah. o.o
This forum is having its fair share of issues, intentional or otherwise.
"Today has been another day filled with good questions, good answers and some helpful feedback. Thanks to all of you for being so passionate about our Forums.
These Tech Support Forums are still quite new, so we're all likely to experience a few bumps in the road as we pave the way to this new world. All of your questions will be answered in good time, and the rules will become clearer, if they are not already.
Pretty soon more and more people are going to come looking for tech support here on these forums. Someone who wasn't a part of the NSider world is going to need help with a router, or understanding which way to load a disc into their Wii for the very first time. That's where you come in. You have that knowledge that all these new people are thirsting for.
The Forums have been set to read-only again for tonight; they will be back up tomorrow.
Here are some key points to keep in mind when you're on the Tech Support Forums:
1. This isn't meant to be a replacement for NSider. Chat threads, game discussions and general comments are not allowed if they aren't solving a technical problem with one of our products.
2. Tech Support means you should only be posting questions if you're having trouble with Nintendo software and hardware. If someone else has posted a question, and you have a possible answer, please post it. I see some of you have posted those questions, and we hope you're finding the answers you're looking for.
3. And, as always, general rules still apply here: play nice, no name calling, and, above all, continue to use these forums with the Terms of Service in mind. We all agreed to these terms, so let's keep this place a safe and happy home to all users.
Thanks, and keep those technical posts coming!
NOA_Tech_Jane "
So, read only at night....during peak hours....
"above all, continue to use these forums with the Terms of Service in mind."
So I guess it's no longer "and above all else, have fun."
I wish we still had Andy. :'(
"or understanding which way to load a disc into their Wii for the very first time." (which is explained in the manual)
If a person is not capable of reading, how can they go to Techsider and ask questions?

same :'(
Lets call him up, and ask for a Live Optimus Rhyme performance :-X
It sucks. The new website sucks. I hate it. This was a bad move. I miss Andy, I miss the idiot MODS, I miss the smell of Power On in the morning. I hate NOA_JANE. I HATE IT.

Apparently, they don't allow sigs, BUT there is a sig option.

LOLwtf pwned
Yeah, I've noticed that as well. I think they just took the default Lithium forum and disabled almost all the features but left the options there...
Also, I got warned for making this thread and am currently in a heated argument with NOA_TECH_Griff...
"Ok, I was browsing the forums earlier today and I stumbled across NOA_TECH_Zeke's profile. Now if you look closely he has listed not only a homepage but personal information. Now if you remember old Nsider days we couldn't share personal information, not even Friend Codes. Well, I thought maybe the rules have changed up here, so I do a little more digging and came upon this thread: Posting Guildlines.
Now here is an excerpt from that thread:
"Do not share or ask for Friend Codes or other forms of Personal Information.
On our Forums, we strictly adhere to the Privacy Policy. You must not give away, conspire to give away, hint at, or ask for personal information of any kind. Here are some examples of what qualifies as personal information:
Your real name
Your location
Your age"
~Note the part that says they closely adhear to the privacy Policy. Now didn't NOA_TECH_Zeke just break that rule? I think he did.
I did some more digging and found that he is the only Mod/Admin to do that..So he could be the "black sheep" of this site's moderation force, but I just can't get over how hypocritical this is.
So here is Techsider's new catchphrase: "Techsider, where you can't share personal info, but We sure can. :)"
~Note that the links I took out.

I'm not Genius.
Kingmush, grow a brain. Don't say stupid things without knowing you're right. I know that you pretty much live on that kind of stuff, but being ignorant to most everything is no excuse for the stuff you say.
Apparently, you don't remember Nsider. Either that, or you're simply too stupid to put two and two together, and you're just arguing for the fun of it. Either way, you're a moron, and you're wrong. If you recall, Nsider's NOA were allowed to reveal personal informational, too.
That was explained. The terms you sign up to don't apply to them. They can do whatever they want, they're not bound to the rules in the same way you are. Zeke can say whatever he wants, just as Nsider's NOA did.
If you're actually so desperate to argue that you bring that up, you really should leave that kind of stuff to people capable of coming up with a rational thought. You don't apply.
Its' like he comes on cue :)
Genius=God!
If you read up you'd have read that I did indeed start that argument for the "fun of it" and the "sake of arguing" however, I do admit that it was stupid of me and after that breif five minutes of arguing I stopped seeing how it was immature and stupid of me.
hm...looks like today marks the week anniversary. How nice.
also I get to post again tonight >.>
My two acounts that didn't get perma'd get unbanned at Techsider tomorow :)
