| Ninfest.com has been up for a month now and we just got the forums up and running. Now we want to get some feedback from our readers. What would you change or add to Ninfest.com to make it better? | |

| Honestly, take away some of the graphics on the pages. Your server is slow as it is, clogging it up with something pretty instead of functional slows it down even more. Hi by the way dude. | |

| Triz if you're talking about the game reviews channel I agree. It takes about 10 seconds for it to completely load for me. But it isn't the graphics, it's the amount of games on the page. The way I could remedy this would be to split the games up into a couple pages. I may look into this down the road once everything is running smoothly. The other page I noticed that loads slow sometimes is the news channel. It isn't always slow but if it is a concern with a lot of people it's an easy fix to lower the amount of posts from 50 down to 25, something like that. All the other pages load quickly for me. If there are other pages loading slow let me know or simply upgrade from dial-up. I'm joking. | |

Hi by the way dude. Hah... loads fast for me. Just get a faster connection! Im on a T-1, it doesnt get much faster than this So am I. Every page loads in about 1 second, except for the news which now takes about 3 seconds with all the images, and the music page takes about 5 seconds now that more players have been added. Maybe you have too many processes running in the background? Out dated processor? Not enough memory? If it's none of those things, it just might have something to do with your ISP. Or a virus. | |

| It's amazing how we go back and forth about the speed of pages loading nowadays. Even a page that takes longer than 2 seconds is an eternity. And to think some people still have and are happy with dial-up and its up to 20 second page loads. Imagine how fast this website will be to them if it's the first one they visit after a bump in speed. There are some things I can remove from the website to make it run smoother but I'm going to need more feedback and we'll take it from there. I don't want to start taking stuff out if we don't mind a couple extra loading seconds. Thanks for the feedback. I am taking it into consideration. Speed or substance, speed or substance... | |

| I didn't know where else to post this but I just noticed you changed up the background. For the release of Pokemon Platinum possibly? Anyways just wanted to say I really like it. Quite a cool little surprise to come across. Hope you continue this trend. | |

| Thank you. I do intend to continue the trend maybe once every month of changing to a new background. I do have some temporary sad news to post though. the website is having difficulties right now meaning no new posts in the news channel for probably a couple days. The website will continue to be up and running. But I'm having troubles on my end getting new content up on it. Which sucks since I wanted to get some posts up for GDC. They will all be up eventually so don't be surprised if you go there and all the sudden there is a bunch of old news from days earlier posted. I'm aiming for Friday or Saturday for things to be back to normal again. Forums will be ok though. | |

| If its posable to change the feature were you post comments on previews or articals ect. its a real pain to have to type in a cod and sign your name each time. I mean its not THAT bad but still it would be cool if it worked like the forums. Also, im not sure if this is actualy in the site or not as im still exploring, but how about a page were we can download nintendo themes desk top wallpapers. And how about a page were users can submit walkthroughs,cheats and tips ect. Just thrown random ideas out there | |

The current way to comment in the News Channel I believe is here to stay. I'm sorry if it's too much of a pain but it has it's purpose. Nintendo themed wallpapers. Hmmm. I'd have to look into that one. As far as users submitting their own walkthroughs, cheats and tips, right now you can submit that content in the Ninfest Nation media topic here on the forums. If there is anything you guys would like to submit and have it placed on the website, put it in an email and send to ninfest@me.com. If there is any media like photos that goes along with it, attach it to the email. I'll put it in the Channel it's relevant to. Music? Send the mp3 and it will make it in the appropriate player. Anything I put on the website I'll make sure to give credit to the sender. Triz has already sent me links to a few videos and stories that I have put in the News Channel and rightfully gave him credit for the scoop. | |

| One thing about that code you have to put in to post a comment; I'm glad it isn't as cumbersome and hard to read as some other sites I frequent. Fairly easy to read, only 5 or 6 digits, and in one straight line. I've had to put in codes where the letters were all squiggly or laying on top of one another and I just couldn't make it out forcing me to click the get a new code button. | |

<--- Sweet I got Samus Hmm... are you using Firefox? Just wondering if it's because certain browsers may not be as compatibale with this site as others. I'm using IE8 and I haven't had any problems. | |

That is weird. Just at work? Do you visit any other sites at work that require a code? I haven't had any problems with IE7, IE8, Firefox, or Safari. I see a number of posts from WildCard so he must be problem free. Is anybody else having comment posting issues on the website? | |
