Rename Nintendo Power?

The SIT are representatives of the people, and we need to know what YOU think!

You see, this is not a HUGE issue, but it is one, and one that needs decided on!

Our general goal of relation to oldsider is to house similar discussion and appeal to the audience that previously went there, not to copy oldsider. Their reason to use the name "Nintendo Power" is that the forum was widely attached to the magazine. Our only reason for keeping that is to copy oldsider, which I don't think we should do.

You see, there are issues you can bring up on either side, but we just want the input of the people! Keep it as is, and reminisce, or change it to truly reflect NSF?

The choice is yours!

NOTE: IF YES IS PICKED, A POLL WILL BE POSTED TO ASK WHAT THE NAME SHOULD BE!

Since I brought the topic to attention at SIT board, I think my opinion is evident.

For convenience for SIT members only, a link to the thread in our private board: http://nsiderforums.net/index.php?topic=19741.0

Call it The Roost or something.

And rename Power On to Power Off.

Makes much more sense, since this is the off-topic board.

No, because it's been okay but, it would make us more set apart from oldsider which is good and bad. Also what would u change it to "The Ninfo"

Copying something and changing it a little like Power Off... we should just avoid something like that. It should either be Power On or something completely different from that. We're not discussing changing Power On yet anyways, though.

"The Roost" sounds like it's from something bird-related. Maybe cuccoscratch or something. Not for us.

Why would you NOT keep the name the same. Everything else here is reminiscent of the old forum, so changing your name wouldn't really do anything because EVERYTHING else if almost a carbon copy of the original.

It's from Animal Crossing, but meh, I don't think it should be the name.

Did you even read the post? Actually, I shouldn't even ask, it's clear that you couldn't have.
Our goal is NOT to copy oldsider.

oops. didn't read the topic. thought it was a generic question as to whether the magazine should be renamed.

take one away from no and add one to yes.

I read the post. I'm saying that you shouldn't change the name if you don't plan on renaming boards, redoing the entire rank system and changing away from the oldsider smilies.
THAT'S what I'm saying.

Way to take what I said to a literal extreme.

Don't fix what isn't broken.

Not really anything needed. It works fine.
