The official Nintendo community will be without a home for an indefinite period of time.
Nintendo of America has posted a notice on its website that the official Nintendo NSider Forums will be closed indefinitely, effective today. Nintendo is citing a "major overhaul" of Nintendo.com as the reason for the forum shutdown.
In a statement on the former forums front page, Nintendo.com Supervisor of Web Content Andy Hartpence, a.k.a. "NOA_Andy," said:
"For more than four years, these NSider Forums have fostered engaging, robust debates, a strong community and friendships. While their future remains uncertain, in the interim we invite our fans to build on the spirit of community by starting their own Nintendo discussion sites. Remember also that the unique features available with Nintendo DS and Wii give Nintendo the opportunity to communicate directly with fans, while also enabling fans and friends around the world to communicate with each other."
The NSider forums will remain up until September 24 in a read-only format (available here), after which time they will be gone for good.
We'd like to take this opportunity to let any refugees of the Nintendo NSider forums to know that we here at Nintendo World Report have a community of Nintendo fans that's over 10,000 strong. Perhaps you'd like to join them?
there nothing to draw in
