Wii Codes
We're getting a lot of threads from members who want to trade their Wii codes. I know we used to have the whole section for this, but it seems that just having the code under your name is not enough to stop all these threads
I'm thinking that maybe a directory of Members Wii codes should be set up, it could just be one simple sticky'd thread that gets updated with everyone who wants peoples' Wii codes and is happy with other people adding their own.
It would save all these threads that keep cropping up and wouldn't require the whole section to be put back in. Then Members can simply PM the people in the list to let them know they have added them.
What does everyone think? Yay or Ney?

Definately YAY! These multiple threads get on my nerves. I dont think the new members know enough about the search function as well, as I think that would help reduce the number of threads

Yep, I've been getting annoyed with these. I don't see anything wrong with just PMing people, but if someone wants to administer the thread, then make it! It would just get a bit mad with all of the different codes, so it will take a long time to update.
Well, if you guys like i can see what i can knock up in the way of a user update-able webpage that you could link to via a sticky thread?
This would eliminate the task of updating the thread everytime we get a new user with a wii code.
It won't be until tongiht that i would be able to look at this though, as i'm in work right now.
I like the idea, I'm surprised it hasn't come into place already. I think it's the admin side of things that's stopped it from happening. I know I certainly wouldn't want to have to keep updating it, however you might be able to set up a simple spreadsheet that could also keep all usernames in alphabetical order and the simply copy and paste the spreadsheet into an edit of the original post.
