I decided to save this post for today, rather than post it on the site’s two year anniversary, which took place in October. With Christmas happening today and New Year’s coming up, I thought it’d be best to share this with you now instead.
Our most important goal with the site has been to provide you all with the most up-to-date, most significant Nintendo news, reviews, and features. I truly hope that we were able to that for you all this year. It wasn’t always easy, especially since I don’t always have time to spend on the site. As much as I’d like working on Nintendo Everything to be an every day job since I enjoy it so much, that just isn’t something that’s realistic at this point. But because it isn’t, sometimes it’s a struggle to balance site updates with responsibilities in real life/spending time with friends and family/other things. Even so, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
In just one year, we’ve managed to expand considerably. I love that we have more of a community aspect growing. I’d say that our forum is quite a bit larger than last year and it’s also great to see that some of you have grown accustomed to commenting on news stories. Hearing what you guys have to say is very important to me, whether it’s an opinion on a news post or a site suggestion.
I tend to ramble on with these types of posts more often than not, so I’ll just cut it off here. Know that while I don’t always drill into everyone’s brain how much we appreciate you guys, please know that we do. Really!
Hopefully 2010 will be an even better year for the site (although that will be difficult) and I look forward to providing you all with more Nintendo coverage as the years go on. Again, Happy Holidays and have a Happy New Year (I’m a little early with that, but oh well!).
