Thumbs up 1000 + members: forum update

Hi All,

Well most of you have noticed that we have hit the 1000+ members!

When I first started this forum, I actually given up on it, it wasn't until I checked back after a month and a member "Ashy" encouraged me to do more with the board and to get some more members.

I cant remember the exact date of the www.wiitalk.co.uk launch, but with help from Ashy & 21stcenturykid in the early days, the board has been developed to a well oiled community.

Since the launch date, there have been 2 new designs, 30+ modifications and many spam deletions - the board now is managed by 4 moderators which seem to be doing a fine job. For a popular forum, the mods on this board really help in keeping the spam down. As mentioned before unlike other forums (wii forums included) we delete all spam posters and do not just ban them.

One of my personal favourite additions to the board has been the Wii Talk Blogs : http://www.wiitalk.co.uk/forums/wiitalk-blogs/ - I spend ages reading the posts here, and there have been some real classic posts, which deserve your rep and also remember to digg well written posts. Big thanks goes to all the Bloggers who continue to write brilliant threads....!

A couple of the features on this board that the newer members might not have seen our:

Create a MiiTag: http://www.wiitalk.co.uk/forums/miitag.php
Create a WiiTag: http://www.wiitalk.co.uk/forums/wiitag.php

These features will help you to make your profile and signature more interesting.

As this forum continues to grow, we shall be introducing new areas, some more competitions, updating forum rules and will be doing our all mighty best to make the forum even more fun...! as this is a community we are open to suggestions at http://www.wiitalk.co.uk/forums/suggestions-feedback/, although we cant carry out all the requests, we have implemented many of the members suggestions.

Keep up the great work everyone...! its hard to please everybody all the time on the forum but we try to do our best....!

What do you reckon 5000 members by August? ....!

Over and out...
WiiStar

I think it helps now that the Wii is growing in demand and popularity. I personally found the site through Nintendo Wii in Stock Updates whom this site is affiliated with.

Well done on this! A Forum is likE a plant. You plant the seed and hope for it to grow. It may seem dead at times but if you pay attention to it and water it when needed, it will grow and grow.
