01 Oct 2008 18:46 David Marseilles WiiUnite LaunchesIf you were keeping an eye on the page we gave you last time, you already know the site is live. If you weren't, hurry and sign up. Those who sign up on October 1st get special permissions as founding members. Those who sign up tomorrow or later start at the bottom and have to work their way up. The other day, WiiHD called WiiUnite "the next big thing on the horizon of core Wii gaming." Big words, no? Well, we mean them. WiiUnite is the culmination of more than a year of core competitive community building by a large group of core Wii gamers. They searched and searched, but found no where that truly catered to the needs of their community. Some forums discriminated against competitive activities, others buried great content with crap, some forced burdensome structure that met that forum's needs, but not the needs of the community. They were outcasts, skewered by gamers from other systems for loving Wii, skewered by Wii users for being core gamers. But now, core Wii gamers have a place they can call their own. Wii Unite was designed by the community, for the community. Once migration is complete, WiiHD expects it to be one of the most unique Wii Communities in the world.
What are you waiting for? This IS your engraved invitation.

WiiUnite Launches
MAN! I didn't get a chance to get on yesterday. :( Looks like I have to work my way up.
Don't worry, you'll be there in no time. =)
How so?
And question.
Is it just a forum?
All the permissions you could have gotten on day 1 you'll eventually get as you post more and your rank increases.
It's not so much a just a forum as it is a home for a community that's basically already been built, and it's one that caters to the sensibilities of serious, competitive core gamers. In my experience, other forums have punished and ignored their needs and allowed their interests to become buried under pokeman fanatics and ninty fanboys.
It's a niche that has been largely ignored over the past couple of years. As for features, the forums are where it starts. We'll have to wait and see where it goes from there.
I see, well I've signed up, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be doing alot of posting. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the Wii HD, but I'm owner of another forum, for a The Conduit site, though we're not getting alot of traffic. :S
It's not for everyone. Use it if it works for you. Don't if it doesn't. AFAIK, you're welcome to put a link to your fansite in your signature at WiiUnite. I post there as "fortunzfavor" btw.
I've already told someone from your site that I'll have a fansite link submission thing set up here soon. Until then, you're welcome to sign your posts with the link to your site.
