Quote:Our news is separated (in the right column) away from the rest of our content. Combine the two and we have MORE content than other fansites per day (usually).
You are right that most fansites don't update that much. Without being paid to do it, I imagine that each person can only do it so much...
Quote:All in all, I'm just amazed to find that these forums are still alive, for when I used the Wayback Machine to uncover some of Nintendojo's lost content I discovered that these were in fact the designated Nintendojo forums. And yes, I know much about the history of Nintendojo and all other fansites. Some good peoples.
They were the designated Nintendojo forums. That's how most of us who have been here since '99 or so got here. :) Either from there or from ... um, I forget the name, the site I think EdenMaster, ASM, etc. came from... It was also linked from somewhere else for a little while... Tendo Box?
It is kind of amazing that we survived losing the site owner so well, but we're just lucky that Weltall stepped up to pay for the server... :) It isn't easy to survive for months with just an EZBoard and have a living forum!
The other Nintendojo-related site I used to visit, GBC Dojo, hasn't survived as well... anyone else remember it? They had their own forum. I first found it there (in spring or summer '99 -- that was the first console games forum I visited often...) but then later it left Nintendojo and became gbstation.com... then that closed (a year or so ago) and now it's just a barely-visited EZBoard. Sad.
