Yeah it's that time again.

So while my net was down I had those thoughts about this place again - is it really a good idea to remain Nintendo specific? The answer I came up with was no.

Either way, should we just keep the name as DS-WiiFi? Hell no.

I'm sure there's some that will be dead against the idea still, but as this place was first intended as a place to get some WFC games on the go (and as much as I push we still barely get any games going) and then DS only, then Nintendo as a whole, and now that there's PC gamers, a handful of PS3, 360, PS2, etc, I just can't see the need to stay as we are. At very least the name needs to be changed as I intend this place to be here for a long, long time, and at some point the name will need changing, so let's hear some suggestions.

For now, all that's definite is a name change, but frankly, I'm gonna need convincing that it's a good idea to stay Nintendo-only as it just seems to be a backwards thing to me. We all love games on all sorts of systems, and there's no real bias (even if it does seem that the 360 has taken over) but when we've lost people in the past because they "just don't play the DS anymore so don't feel part of it" then the emphasis should be on the community surely?

Anyway, that's where I stand, so name suggestions and overall thoughts please. :)

I agree.

It is probably a good idea to broaden the forum subjects to hold a presence in the future, although I do think the focus on Nintendo (with the DS-WiiFi name) seems to attract people who are primarily into games for the gameplay. Having said that, Nintendo's approach seems to be changing now anyway...

I would hate to see this place become full of idiots like a lot of other forums seem to be (not that you have a choice I suppose and you already have me here...) this really is a haven I think! I hardly ever post on other games forums (although I do often read others) as everyone is just too serious and seems to have forgotten the point of games is to have fun! On here, everyone seems really like minded.

Thats just my viewpoint mind you :)

I suppose in summary I'd say go for it but don't end up like all the others.

As for names, I have no idea!

Maybe just Hendoworld.

I pretty much agree with this one here.

I've kinda changed my viewpoint on this whole thing, but for a while the fact that generally for ages most of the threads were on the bloody 360 (I don't hate he console, but...), so if it's gonna have more multiformat threads, I genuinely think this is the only way to go.

If the forums becomes full of dicks/fanboys, I am offskie.

I'm not going to lie to you, i like the name ds-wiifi because that's our name. So what if the DS gets replaced in a years time, we can either change then or just keep it and be established for who we are.

However I also couldnt give a shit, I certainly wouldnt leave over the issue, so i suggest www.YiffTranies.com if its not already taken

as for the format thing, again i like that it's nintendo focused. I'm not a nintendo fan, and i have all 3 consoles [smug] but as wildejohn said people are like-minded here, and that's what I'm afraid we'll lose.

However im here for the community, and no matter what the focus of the site (trannies that yiff?) the same people would be here. And hopefully any new members would have picked up the tone of the site before they signed up

And yet I also agree with this.

I just dunno Hendo, but it's your site, do what you want and I'll still be here unless it goes horribly wrong.

Call it silly if you want, but I genuinely think the site is best as it is right now.

To be perfectly honest, since I bought my 360 I haven't touched my DS really at all, in fact i was happy when the other formats section popped up as I could join in on most of the chatter and not just be reading it for the sake.

I think multi-format is the way forward to be honest and I don't really think that it'll become full of idiots just because of being multi, just as many idiots play nintendo and we've been up for a couple of years and managed to keep the idiots out

now where was that german dude selling viagra :)

I do enjoy the fact that this is a mostly nintendo based site and that the 360 is probably the only other format that will be discussed.

I think this could cause a bit of a split with those who don't have a 360 feeling even more left out than they are now. I mean DS chatter has really dived over the last few months. I don't have a Wii or a 360 and I won't get any good PC discussion going on since there's about 3 PC gamers here.

So yeah I'm not against a multiformat site I just think I'll have much less to contribute because whatever way you look at it the 360 will be the dominant topic and it doesn't interest me in the slightest.

I'm kinda new here but I think going multi-format might not be such a bad idea, I was once a dedicated Nintendo boy but this generation has left me out on my ear a bit, but thats for another thread. The community already here do tend to talk sensibly and maturly about other formats so we could all sensibly adjust if the change goes through, as for inbred cockbags joining the forums, well I'm sure we could just use good old patronising techniques to embarass them into pissing right off.

As for a multi-format name, how about J00n0n00bZ&SuXc0rFr3aKs.co.uk.

P.S, the name was inspired by 4 tins of Kronenbourg

Multiformat is the only way forward. Ive always liked the Nintendo only thing in the past but these days most of us as a community have spread across the platforms, and the community is all I really care about.

I have a Wii and a 360 and one day i will probably have a PS3, but the main thing is i'll always be into games and as long as there is a place all you cunts hang out I probably wont be to far behind.

As for names, Hendo and me were kickin around 'Digital Brethren'. What yall rekon? Corny but i think its kinda cool.B)

I think that's a terrible name if im being brutally honest.

For the record i'm not against multiformat. I like the multiformat folder. I'm just worried people will feel alienated as some of us did on an previous forum, and that the site will eventually lose its certain je ne sais qua

This idea has been kicking around for a long time now, and it's funny how opinions change in the space of a year. I know mine has. Here's a post from Admin chat that I posted at the start of September, which includes some names I had floating around in my head. They sound a bit serious, though.

Well, I'll be getting a 360 soon, which will be taking over from the Wii as my main home 'TV' system (the DS is my main console). I do like this site being Ninty only, and always have.

I can see why we could favour by being multiformat, and having a proper online community focus. NTSC-UK and rllmuk more than cater for my multiformat forum needs, but if we did things a bit differently I can see it being popular.

Anyways, I've just been thinking of names and seeing what's available. Here are some I came up with (that are available):

gamercommunity.co.uk

ukgamingonline.com (or .co.uk)

onlinegamingforum.co.uk

communitygaming.co.uk

onlinegamingclub.co.uk

multiformatonline.com (or .co.uk)

and my favourites (I like both of these and .com and .co.uk are available in both):

multiformatgames.com (or .co.uk)

multiformatgamer.com (or .co.uk)

Future proof name, too. :)

This time last year I was completely against the idea of going multi.

Maybe if we are going to change the name and style of the site, we could get an invision forum or something similar to rllmuk? A forum that takes the up width of the site, and is easy to have sub-forums etc, nice and simple.

And maybe start afresh with a new (faster) server, I'm sure we can find some reasonably priced ones.

I dont know what your talking about.

Yea??? Well i think BEN is a terrible name.

Its just something we were kickin about in all honesty, thats why I put it here, for feedback.

And if we go multi format, it doesnt mean we'll suddenly be inundated with pricks, the admin here have always benn pretty good at cunt elimination and will continue to do so.

The nam has got to be awsome tho, im not into so much what it says on the tin, we need summink catchy, like Fishmongers.wank or summink like that.

I think something thats quite generic is maybe a good move, and would perhaps sum up the thinking behind the recent changes....caravanoflove or something....

I dont see why the user base would have to drastically change so much, as long as the posters here transfer across and post on the new site then it would be fine...I mean fucking hell we get about 10-20 new members a month - none of which post, so they obviously just stumble across us, maybe dont agree with what we think and so dont post. So from that point of view I dont think we need to worry about the userbase changing too much because over the last year there have been about 20 new regular posters, and weve hardly had a problem with anyone being a cock. In the very rare occassion where there has been a difference of opinion then the person has just left with no fuss.

I think the main thing to keep in mind is that the site is already pretty multiformat and hopefully no one feels particularly left out I hope (apart from illdog, who lives on a seperate continent)(love you really).

Well, regardless of whether its the best or shittest idea ever I think it would be interesting so I will definitely be there, because the main thing is the ladies and gentlemen that post there - as everyone has said, I dont come on here because its got the hottest up to the minute news on games its because of everyone that makes up the community.

I'm glad this place is completely different to NTSC-uk and rllmuk cos both of them places are full of cunts to be frank. If the emphasis is changed, I'd perhaps be less inclined to post as much. Maybe the "news" folder could be an all-format place, that'd be good, and still keep the Wii/DS/VC folders separate from a single other formats folder?

I'm no Nintendo fanboy, but it's because of the name and current site setup I like posting here. If it becomes another generic video games forum (cos seriously, most games forums are absolute shit)it loses its USP for me.

Would a rose by any other name smell as sweet? Of course it would, words dont effect smells, unless the person saying the word had bad breath and was saying the word close to your nose whilst your smelling the smell.

If the name changes not much here will. We'll still post the same shit and the same people will respond to it. I cant help but feel this is being blown out of proportion a little. If anything it will make the site more organised.
