What next Nsider should have:

[Commander Awesome]

Post plox.

Rule(s):
1. Keep it reasonable. NoA isn't going to hand you money.

[Riosan]

Entry test. Something like validation, just make it so that people with actual common sense get in.

You forget.
Internets. Validation = Google.

[Wolf]

The ability to give out gamer tags and friend codes.

[Avion-Finch]

the RP board.

[JMV]

Not allowing members who are under 13 to join, then forcing restrictions upon everyone else.

[Termanian_Knight]

1. Getting rid of the crappy 'No FC sharing' policy should be priority.

2. Chat boards where post count does not increase (Power On RP could also be a candidate for this).

3. I've heard rumors that registering Nintendo products was going to be incorporated into the ranking system, so why the heck not.

4. Bigger sig limit, mebeh? I don't really care personally, though.

5. awesome; as an icon, mirite JMV?

I'll edit when I come up with moar ideas. ;3

New ranking system was a myth, plox.

Only reason we lost the chat threads was because idiots abused them.

Speaking of which, where is GCF?

It'd still be cool if NoA was more like Club Nintendo in Japan.

And the idiots will be back. D=

[phatyo]

make our name the color of the rank :/

[ResidentZoidberg]

1. A vastly improved MyNintendo system, so we don't keep looking like fools in comparison to Nintendo of Japan, etc. Not directly related, but it would help. MyNintendo sucks. Hard. They've never given me anything, ever. Most others, too. Sony gives out God of War PSP demos [Getting mine :)], while MyNintendo gives out an ocasional wallpaper.

2. The ability to share friend codes. You, Nintendo, forced these hassles onto us with your systems, at least let us share them on your official site. Believe it or not, many people have no friends with DS's, or few, or ones who don't pay certain games, etc. [Some have no friends at all :P]

3. The return of the Epic Center, Classified Info, the RP board, and maybe the chat threads. As long as we have no morons abusing them again. Oh, and live chats that are open more.

4. Somehow, less emphasis on post count, where people don't spam to gain ranks. Things such as having all abilities upon joining would help, or at least maybe after a hundred or so posts. Perhaps start with editting/deleting, after a hundred or so, add pictures/sigs.

Off the top of my head....

[bluaki]

Just a few possible ones...
1. Allow sharing of friend codes after users accept a new privacy policy that describes such and the risks a user takes when sharing them.
2. New ranking system based more off of browsing/viewed posts (and possibly registered games) than actual posting
3. User accounts start off with same stats as the Nsider account linked to the Nintendo account.
4. Chat board w/o raising post count
5. Larger sigs, like 550x60 to start off with
6. Either warning to dial-up users before entering forum or a system that allows viewing the forum with minimal pictures displayed
7. Custom icons awarded at same rank as sig, only allows single-frame GIFs at the same size of default icons
8. Default icons include those from Nsider
9. Either number of registered items or a list naming them in profile possibly
10. Useless boards with little/no activity removed
11. Not having separate boards for each Wi-Fi game but rather, the discussions for them are moved to either a board for the franchise or a single board for Wi-Fi games (it annoyed me to click the Mario Kart DS board and see it filled with "I hate snakers" and similar things for other boards)
12. Mods similar to KoH are able to hand temp-bans to users
13. Have a genuine "General Discussion" board
14. Even without Nintendo Power, retain the Fan Art and Fan Fiction boards
15. Allow users to share email or IM handles with similar warnings as friend code sharing
16. Ability to link your Nintendo account to your Wi-Fi games and show records
17. Ranks aren't ridiculous to earn; you don't need to register 500 games for plumber or anything like that
18. More frequent chats with NoA's about the forum itself
19. User suggestions are considered during chats with NoA's
20. Connection with the Wii, possibly having the ability to earn special demos or channels
21. Editing and deleting posts and having custom icons and sigs come earlier
22. Kirby and Mario skins

[Got_Water]

1. out with the No FC rule
2. editing and deleting is earned at snifit
3. mods that dont perma ban ppl for sayin *in before lock* or "my fc is 1337-1337-1337" >.<
4. Andy is tossed out the window
5.Shaun(sp?) becomes head admin
6. bring. back. special. ranks!! shades of grey, tie-die-ninja, i helped an NOA so i got this rank, ect.
7. give SSBB a seperate board
8. Smash bros. skin
9. custom icons
10. locking threads instead of going on random deletion rampages
11. force mods to show their online status to everyone
12. power on RP
13. slightly bigger sigs
14. mods lock/delete threads before they get out of hand
15. more mods
16. mods who are inactive get rank revoked
17. put the smash board back in discussion topics

[Bob-ombs]

1. Larger sigs. Like the size PSU allows
2. Custom icons
3. Not having to get a ton of posts just to have a sig, be able to start off with one. Maybe make Koopa the rank you can have a custom icon or something.
4. The return of special ranks
5. The ability to edit from the beginning
6. No sages, either that or make it like a member of the month or something, when the month is over the rank is gone.
7. Maybe a custom rank thing, where if you get past the last rank you can make your rank name whatever you want.
