Gone but not forgotten

[Shrodu]

Shrodu's back again, guys.  "Who's Shrodu?" you ask?  I was once "Megamanwily" of the old Nsider.  "Who cares?" You ask?  Well, I guess you guys won't care for this little discovery I found.

Though Nsider is gone, Nintendo hasn't forgotten us completely, though they've taken all evidence of Nsider down....but one.

It's found here. http://www.nintendo.com/corp/privacy.jsp





Online Interaction

Our Web sites make chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or newsgroups available to users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information in these forums. Nintendo strongly encourages parents to supervise their children's activity in all public forums on our Web sites and to advise them not to share any personally identifiable information in such areas.

Both the Nintendo DS Wi-Fi Connection and the Wii Shop Channel services, WiiConnect24, and any related services and material delivered to your Wii console over the Internet ("Wii Network Services") allow gamers to interact in real time. Both of the Nintendo DS Wi-Fi Connection and the Wii Network Services have been designed with gamer privacy in mind. In order for two individuals to communicate or otherwise interact with each other, they must exchange Friend Codes. "Friend Codes" are unique to each online game and are exchanged by players off-line (by phone, by email, etc.) who are already familiar with one another. Then, when you connect, you are able to enjoy multiplayer gaming with "friends." This avoids open communication with strangers and creates a friendly environment.

If a player connects region wide or worldwide on a Nintendo Wi-Fi enabled connection, they can play with anyone, not just friends. When this option is selected, Nintendo games that include a chat feature limit the chat to only "closed" or pre-canned text. Also, the only information displayed to the other player is game information and the nickname of the other player. No personal information or specific location is provided to the other player. Games in the future may allow players to exchange other information stored on their Nintendo DS or Wii.

To be safe, parents should monitor their children's exchange of Friend Codes to make sure that this feature works as intended. Parents should also monitor any multiplayer game play done through the Nintendo DS Wi-Fi Connection or the Wii Network Services.

With respect to the Nintendo DS local wireless mode (wireless play without the use of the internet), the Nintendo DS will automatically exchange Friend Codes when playing in a local wireless multiplayer mode so parents should monitor their children's use of this feature closely. If there is any concern during this auto exchange, each player has the option to not have their Friend Code added to another's Friends Roster and the option to prevent others from being added to theirs. Parents of children under the age of 13 should supervise their children's activity in all multiplayer games.


Personally, I'm surprised.

We'll have forums soon enough, why is everyone worrying?

You're about 3 months too late...

Yay, you came back. :)

oh hai, I remember you.

But at the same time, I'm glad most of us are fine with NSider not existing anymore.  In some ways, I like this place better :)
