I do NOT want to see these boards die. So, please, explain to me what happened. No one shows up anymore... It all happened so fast... *head spins*

Homeless, Sneaky, Sal, John, Marth and I are all that's left.... It's saddening. :(

it's sad but a true part of life. Many of our members left after realizing that Brawl wasn't what they wanted. MM still comes around once in a while but none the less, we can't keep it alive in the way we wanted. Smash quest was deemed a failure, the tournaments aren't happening and Brawl just isn't interesting to talk about here apparently.

I'll stick to these boards till the death but honestly we need to revision the boards. We made these boards before Brawl and now we need to adjust to a new climate. We need something engaging to make our members want to come like a Rp or a renewed smash quest. We should use this forum to discuss what we need to do.

Man that's sad if what your saying is true about people being disappointed with brawl. I blame the spoilers.
Just when things were getting interesting people stop coming.

I had a good idea that I was going to PM you and whatnot, and when I was a paragraph off completion, my sister closed the window. Ergh. So ya. I'll send that to you later on my new blog ideas. Some stuff that'd involve us. Also, I think we're now headed towards the right direction-not just Brawl EXCLUSIVE, but with smash 64, Mario Kart Wii, MoH: H2, and so forth. However, Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony have gone casual. I think we should possibly focus on playing other games casually and competitively as well. Classic games through Kaillera, for example. Goldeneye. Perfect Dark. Halo 2. Halo 3. Call of Duty 4. Grand Theft Auto 4. Mario Kart 64. Star Fox 64. Diddy Kong Racing (the N64 one; maybe the DS remake/sequal thingy). Metroid Prime: Hunters. Mario Kart DS. In the future, Metal Gear Solid 4's Metal Gear Online, and maybe even Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops version of Metal Gear Online as well. And so forth.

We have a lot of options thanks to the past, but Nintendo isn't delivering with games that are universally pleasing. Just casually pleasing. We can rely on several past games. Competitive, casual, both, or somewhere in between. For competition, for fun, or both. For thrills or for winning. Whatever rocks your boat. I think we should look on past games as well as future and recent games just as much, if not more. After all, we're missing the 4th and 5th generations of gaming-the so-called "Golden Era" of gaming! :mario:

Anyways...I was busy doing projects, reading because my teacher decieded to actually give us reading homework (tons of it! :mad:), trying to hook up with some chick (and failed thanks to wierd crap...for the tenth time...ergh... <_<), celebrating my b-day (thanks for the happy b-day stuffZ btw), and so forth. But I be here...for now. Until I can finally go teh wakeboardingZ! I'm getting obssessive compulsive about wakeboarding almost as much as I am with drill shinning! >_<

You all should know I'll smash, Melee, and Brawl til' the end. Just not now (busy with GTAIV! XD). I think we got to focus straight up on universal games, and be more open about stuff. Even stretch the borders. We're on this forum to have fun, are we not=??? So let's have fun! TO IGNORANT SATRUM OR WHATEVER! PARTIEEEZZZZZ!!!!!

O, and where's teh demonZZZ=??? :pikachu: And we're missing a Adder or two! >_<

Demoncaterpie left Shining Fists. He should come on here one day to say the last goodbyes. he's basically left forums of all sort....it's kinda sad really.

I believe john is right, Brawl is by far my favorite game. I can't ignore melee's abilities anymor compared to Brawl but I'l still love playing the game no matter what and if you guys Pm me chances are I'll be on in a few minutes. But we can't have such a big focus on smash anymore.

To me what shining fists has become is more a less a site of friends, rivals and companions doing what their passionate about...Playing games. I think we should still keep the Brawl forums and maybe keep a melee and 64 forum up for smash but we should more of an emphasis on general gaming and random talk.

I still want to keep smash quest but i'm going to shut it down for a while to fix things. For all those who worked as referees...thank you and I'll be sure to make things well for you. I'm taking out gamer tags....that has been the biggest failure of this site. I need to just find friend code codes like SSC has or just do the old make a forum with alot of codes.

wifi nao is a hit...or at least I believe...what do you guys think, do you like it. I think we should start having group parties r something. Something like a friendly Smash night saturday at 8 where a whole group of us just comes together and plays round robin with each other. We could add skype in and have a brawl skype night so we can play while talking and simulate headphones.

For those who don't have kailerra smash or other kaillera titles....get it. I'm trying to get my wifi to work on my kaillerra now. We need to have a tourny, not much to be said. John if you don't make a tourny soon, I will. I honestly don't care if it's balanced or competitive but I want some competition.....and shirts I'll say this once more. We need to collaborate on shirts, who'll make the design, who will buy the shirt, who will supply the buyer ith cash. We need a visual symbol f our clan to show as a jewel. Even if the best we can do is by shining fist stickers to put on a whit tee...then fine but really........I'm busy today but I'll start working on things tonight (fixing smash quest and gettng rid of gamer tags). For now just discuss what's up.

I like Wi-fi nao!!!

Hey Homeless I have an idea. But Its kind of hard to explain, I was on the web and I found a site I can't remember the name but it was a site like this one pretty much. Anyway they have a newsletter that can be sent directly to your wii. If this is possible why not try and take this a step further and find a way to use the pm system here to send message to each others wii's without exchange wii friend codes.

I hope that made sense.

it can be done man, and it's a great idea. but we can't do it with PMs. This is how it was done with that site. You can connect to a email address by putting the email address as a wii friend. Then the email user can then email messages to the wii.

Our email is shiningfist@yahoo.com and the admin have discussed using it for sending information to users about tournaments and notices but we haven't really discussed it in full. We need to bring back the blog though fo sho.
