Come on guys start posting again.....

Things are quiet again despite the fact that E3 hasn't ended just yet.

dang

I have noticed that E3 didn't give the bounce that WWW. Heck even Ninja News Fan Page had a slightly more successful and that's odd!

I wonder... I know there's some people on this forum because it's the only forum they can read from a Wii (their only internet connection) or old computer. If there are a lot of these people, presumably they won't be getting a WiiU anything soon, and so the lack of Wii news and lack of new 3DS news might not have left much to talk about.

Thoughts?

I think you are spot on with that thought. I would not surprise if most just have a DS as well as the Wii. This is another the challenge as the target market we have won't habe these consoles anytime soon. You can pick up a notebook for the price of a Wii U. So now we are presenting news to those who are not interested in them. We could try to get members in as I have said and the Admin Zone Review more then just color changes but some big changes will be needed. Simply we are stuck betweem a rock and a hard wall

One option for wiiwarewave is to just remain a Wii/DS site. Which granted is a dying market but as all other Nintendo sites drop all Wii coverage and conversation, Wii/DS only owners might gravitate here.

A lot of retro systems have dedicated sites for collectors and fans. This could become one. That is, if that what the community here desires. Wouldn't help NNN though.

That could be idea for those here however even that market has some large and impressive forums out there and would even cut down our chances of finding new members even more than we have at the moment.

Plus I think the members here are keen to use the Wii U and the next big event which is it's Launch to help boost the numbers here. Articles and Reviews of the older console would dry up in time too.

The fact that hardly any news or titles that weren't already announced were shown at E3 probably accounts for the slow activity and no offense, but this year Nintendo was pitiful at E3 "no new news" "barely any new games announced" etc. poor E3 performances like this can really hurt company specific video game media websites like ours.

While there wasn't much of new stuff from Nintendo - there were new games, more information, Miiverse, and the buzz around E3 there should be have been more posts on WWW. Heck even NNN experienced some big number during those days. Up from the average of 3000 hits a day to 8000 during that period and the Fan Page did very well. Only 32 members but the stats showed it was outscoring my other fan page of 480 members.

I think gamerace was on the money about what our member are interested in. If the active members can only afford a Wii console to access their internet then why would be interested in a 3DS or a Wii U?

Many of us own a 3DS too, but there weren't any surprises from the Nintendo 3DS conference either which was very disappointing.

So then the question becomes how do we keep attracting new members? That's a struggle for all sites. You need exclusive content. Unless you're breaking a story, it's the same news everywhere so it's the articles and things like the developer interviews that have to pull people in.

We havent been tweeting as much as we used to.

But yeah I agree with gamerace. Im trying to think of what I can do.

We'll try and figure something out. I'll start thinking about it for both sites.

gamerace, you're SO right about those developer interviews. That type of exclusive content is definitely what we need more of, so we can attract new members. We also need that type of exclusive content, so we can keep our current members returning on a regular basis.

Weernt we supposed to have another interview up? I saw the announcment a few weeks ago. Whats happened with that.

It's too lonely on the forums today.

Where is everyone? Right now there are 4 users online 1 registered user, 1 guest, and 2 bots.
What happened?

The forum's actually doing very well this month. All forums have a few quiet days a month.

what going on with NintendoNinja News. I havent seen any new activity on the website for a while.

I have taken a break until Monday and the fact that I'm the only who posts articles makes it very hard

Hint.. hint...

There's not much to post on ATM. Although I have some ideas for articles I want to write. Hopefully I can get to them soon. I'd also love to do a retro review.

Any preference of the following:
Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Dewy's Adventure
Endless Ocean / Endless Ocean: Blue World
Sakura Wars

How about Tomb Raider Anniversary. Ive seen that game around for a while.

After E3 that would be the case but I need to find someone (at least one person) who can access Wordpress and work the admin section too. The forum is lucky to have many active staff members on hand.

Today has been unusually quiet with few posts.

Since im not going to work this week, Im trying to post as much news articles as I can. Im working on another right now.

Another quiet day.

Like I always say. things will pick up. We just have to stay on it.

Activity is slowing again.

Easily fixed. I will donate a WiiU to whomever hits 1,000,000 posts first. Ready? Go!!




(I'm kidding, but don't let that stop you from posting)

WiiWareWave is starting to become more active again! |D

I think its cause of the fact that schools have started up again.

same i think so also. Chances are things are going to be dead all day till about 3pm. I start College on September 4th myself.

And I am sure that activity will pick up on the weekends too.

I just checked the top posters of the day and over 100 posts have been made between the the top posters! |D

Slow activity again.

back to school time. We knew it would happen.
