@ Skawtz0rz: depends on the forum, but nearly all will allow it.

Anyway this is a very old thread, but it brings up a good point (if Valay and Austin are still interested in boosting the forum). It's just not self-sustaining yet, there's a critical number of members where it's always active and will steadily grow.

Ironically, almost no one who used to post a lot (apparently) still posts.

Ah right, sorry if i bumped it too much or something but I would imagine more forum members would still be a target.

On a side note, i liked Nintendo Everything page on Facebook but given the lack of Nintendo fans on my friends list i doubt it'll make a difference.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do that! Pretty much what thomas said.

By the way, I was actually thinking of doing a forum-related contest soon. We have a ton of visitors on the main site, but for whatever reason, people aren't motivated to join. Then those who do join see that there aren't a ton of members here (even though we have an awesome, tight-knit group), and they just bail out. :P So it's an endless cycle. So I was thinking of doing something like... if you register and make 5-10 posts on the forum, you'll automatically be entered in a contest to receive a free game. Not sure what it'd be yet, though it'd probably be a high-profile 3DS game or something.

What do you guys think?

Sounds like a plan Valay, I assume this would only apply to people in the U.S though? Even so it's a good idea to attract some new people to the forum.

If not a game I'm sure you could e-mail the code for a points card or something to people as a prize that way it'd be easier to get the contest outside the U.S.

It'd probably be in the U.S. or Canada, yeah. Even point cards could be a problem since I believe those are region-restricted... aren't they?

I'd love to help! And if I could I'd be doing so right now, without any points. I feel like this place has a lot of nice people and it would be awesome to have even more.

Sadly a lot of people are selfish and hard to get to forums these days, I think you guys should make up a system of features to unlock once one has enough posts or basically anything that encourages posting, like a plus feature for example "You need to at least have posted 10 posts to read this exclusive article on Miyamotos confession on Link's hat" well you get the idea, you should also write a title thats a bit confusing so that it can't be googled yet understandable like "One of Miyamoto's confessions". But thats just an idea :) I love the NE forums <3

Set up a dungeon and I'll gladly throw you guys some of my freshies to command at will. I've trained them well so you would have them reading/submitting posts around the clock in no time. Your just gonna have to monitor their comments though, I have a feeling they may have learnt to send subliminal messages and distress calls out, hence I'm getting paranoid and I need to thin out the herd.

If he told me to do that, I'd be banned.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW :3

That contest idea is nice, maybe instead of just 5 post ask them to start a topic, that can create more discussion. I really dont know what we can do about us international fans. Maybe a forum title or something.

They are going to post spam.

"They are going to post spam."

I'll of course be supplying cat-o-9s and a couple war maces so ya'll can quickly set em straight. It's an effective method for maintaining order, they actually enjoy the attention... just remember, they are tearz of joy.
