New here - DSi owner - Question

[fustar]

Hi there,

I'm sure I'm the 5 billionth person to ask but why are there "no new posts" allowed on the DS boards? Talking about the DS is why I registered in the first place!

Thanks.

Hmmm, Were you logged in at the time?

Can you not post at all or not create new threads?

[fustar]

Yes, logged in. Though haven't actually tried posting anything there! Just saw "No New Posts" and noticed that last action was over 2 weeks ago. Suggested to me the boards were closed or something. Perhaps I'm mis-reading the situation and they're just very quiet?

It just means there's been no posts int eh last 2 weeks, you can change the preferences at the bottom of the page to see earlier posts.
You can still create threads in there though, I created one as a test (then deleted it).

Fair enough. Just find it odd that the DS/DSi boards are the only ones that haven't had any posts for ages. Given the popularity of the machines I'd have thought there'd be more action there. Particularly on a forum dedicated to hand-held gaming...

Possibly the Iphone apps are becoming more and more popular and stealing some of Ninitendo's thunder.
Plus the DS/DSi appeals in a large way to very young kids who might not be posting online yet.

On another note, I haven't really seen much come out on the DS that really grabs me for quite some time now, as such I don't post about it much.
I don't know if other people feel the same way :shrug:
