Austin handling the site tomorrow, feedback needed
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Screenshots | 11 Comments
It’s not very often that I am unable to access my computer for a number of consecutive hours. But tomorrow just so happens to be one of those days. I’ll be gone for a good portion of the day, but of course, I can’t just let the site die, right?! If all goes as planned, you guys shouldn’t really notice a huge difference with the site. Before I leave in the morning, I’ll schedule a few posts that will go live at specific times. Also, Austin will most likely be able to contribute a couple of quick news articles as well. If you don’t see anything, it means that there is either some sort of issue with the site or something happened to Austin. But let’s think positively!
On another site related note, I was hoping to bring something up quickly. As I’ve said in the past, I’d rather not implement/change anything on the site without hearing how you guys feel. In this case, your feedback is extra important. Basically, we are considering adding an additional ad to the site. You would see a page that covers the page for a few seconds, and then it disappears. You can skip it, or just wait until the ad expires (which shouldn’t be long at all). The ad would only show up every 24 hours and later, this will be changed to every 48 hours.
So, why are we even considering this? First, you may have noticed that the site has been experiencing some technical issues lately. The thing is, it’s really a result of the traffic we’ve been receiving, so we can’t exactly fix that immediately. We’d need to acquire an additional server, which costs a pretty penny. I’d also love the site to see a professional redesign, and it’d be great if we could do more contests/giveaways.
Still, I could understand if you guys think the ad is too intrusive, even with the 24/48 hours timer. This is really why I need to hear from you, though. Post a comment, send us an email. Just get a hold of us somehow and let us know what you think!
Famitsu teasing surprising scoops for next issue
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 1 Comment
A few days ago, Famitsu told readers that they had secured a big feature for this week’s issue. The game turned out to be non Nintendo-related, but perhaps the next edition of the magazine could bring in some important news about the Wii or DS. Famitsu once again teased its readers, noting that surprising scoops will be shared for their July 29 issue. Unsurprisingly, no further details were shared, so we’ll just have to wait until leaks begin to appear one week from today.
