I went to see If I could find my old profile. Sadly, I couldn't. Archive.org doesn't have my profile archived (although I did find the page. I happened to have the last post in some thread when they archived it).
Anyway, it got me thinking. Do you think they'll EVER open the old forums again? I mean, I don't think they'd waste all their money on lithium for some crappy tech support board, right? *Sigh* we can all hope. :(

Me, too. Talk about wierd O_o I was like, "What the heck happened?".
So I just looked around at the forum that seemed frozen in time, and found the link to M_F forums, and blabidy, blah, blah, blah.
I've said it before, and i'll say it again.
The closing of the Nsider forums was an..early April Fools Joke.
On April 1st of 2008, Nsider will reopen, and on the homepage, there will be a bulletin that says "APRIL FOOLS OLOLOL SORRY WE CLOSED NSIDER WE'RE ALL BASTARDS BUT WELCOME BACK"
*nod nod* Yup, that's what's gunna happen.

Ah...good times :)
I think they'll reopen but not for a loooooong time :(
Annyone remember Caturday on the smash board? That was Hilarious :D
I was on Nsider literally 15 minutes before it closed. I got up from the computer to get something from my backpack (I was at school), refreshed, and bam.
;_;

Exactly, see, if they closed it on April Fools Day, then it'd be lame, because they'd close it, 5 minutes later it reopens "ololol April Fools."
Nope, they had to do it this way. Leaving it closed for longer just makes us all more mad at it being closed, and we realize how much we miss it. But yeah..I guarantee it will be back on April 1st. :)

That Actually made sense
For the last time, it's not coming back you idiots. Anyone who thinks so is delusional.
Nintendo realized what a waste of money the place was and that it was no longer serving it's purpose: advertising. So they shut it down. They opened the Tech forum to more than likely keep people from whining about not having a forum to go to for problems.
But for intercourse s sake, get it through your heads: It is not coming back. Ever. So move on already.

I disagree.
It might be just me, but I wouldn't have been nearly as informed on nintendo and it's games if it wasn't for nsider. I would of never gotten a DSL, half my DS games, a wii on launch, and all my wii games.
Damn nsider turned me into a nerd :P
But I'm pretty sure that that is a fact for alot of people on nsider. People would go there, learn about upcoming games, and then buy them right away because of all the hype.
My personal threory of nsiders death had to do with all of the new 'casual' gamers seeing forums.nintendo.com or whatever in their game manuals and going to check it out. Nsider had such a crazy community, that it may of turned people away, making them think less of nintendo as a whole. It may not sound that logical, but it's the most reasonable thing that I could think of.

Hello, I was using my personal experience as an example. I know many ex-nsiders who had the same thing happen.

I, the other hand, was never inspired by NSider to go out and buy a game. If anything, a lot of the time, it drove me away from purchasing a new one. After seeing how retarded many of Nintendo's fans were, I found myself wanting to be less and less associated with Nintendo.
I really hope they reopen it someday.
I didn't go there everyday, but I still enjoyed visiting. It gave me something more to do on the internet.

Or, perhaps, F_H has a point. Nintendo's not going to keep up a message board where few constructive posts actually happen in the most active board, the video game boards are mostly ignored, and the tech support boards are commonly raided.
Whoever gave the decision probably thought it would be better to get rid of NSider altogether than clean out individual posts and boards.

Seeing as you work for Nintendo right?
Or maybe its Andy in disguise :O
With no proof to the contrary, we can only say that it will be re-opened.
When is the only question, unless you can provide evidence otherwise.
Dealing in absolutes rarely yields success.
I liked Nsider, and actually I find it was better than here...
But thats in the past, if it re-opens great but we would have lost an enormous chunk of the community, it just wouldn't be the same.
Yeah, I do that from time to time.
I was viewing the Pokemon boards when it closed. I thought "Oh they're just undergoing some maintenance like when they do when not many people are here. (O:"
But then there was that message from Andy. :'(
And what ever happened to NP's forum opening "early this year"? U:<
I miss the MKDS board. :(
Ahh... yeah... it could be another 2 years before there's a decent replacement.
