if you guys want i can host this site. i have way too much space and bandwidth anyway so might as well put it to good use. all you have to do is get a domain name and you're as happy as Larry ;)

At this rate I will be getting a domain name. Fortunately Invision allow us to integrate it with the forum.

Hosting wise, we would have to start all over again I think. We will be fine for now. Thanks for the offer however :D

In future I might have to remove support for uploading files and avators. Nothing much.

Yea it isn't so bad. I haven't encountered any slow loading pages and I've only seen the forum go down for 10 seconds so far. Seems to be fine.

There is another forum for gamers which uses Invision and they also seem to be getting along fine even with heaps of members.

maybe you should get onto Nintendo Australia about this?

just say to them that all you need is for them to pay for the hosting and you'll be right as rain!

think about it for a second.

These forums already look like they're apart of the Nintendo website.

you could EASILY persuade them by adding various parts to this forum such as dividing it up into:

+General
-The Lounge Room (another name would be good)

+Gaming
-Retro Games Section
-GameCube section
-Console Wars
-Role Playing Games
-DS



+LifeStyle:
-Movies
-General Entertainment
-Autmotive
-Music
-Sport
-Nintendo links (links to various minisites for nintendo related things)

+Support/Customer Service:
-General Support
-Forum Support/Suggestions



that's just my thoughts on this matter;

-Papa
