Nintendoland: Rise of the Phoenix

The Missing Link · 07-22-2004, 07:32 PM

Out of the ashes and fire, life shall spring anew. That which was once thought dead will become a source of great life, a perpetual cycle of fire which fuels the need to live.

As you all know, Nintendoland (minus TGA) became inactive quite a while ago much to the dismay of its many loyal fans. Also perhaps noticed is the sudden drop of its forums on VGF. Nintendoland has been one of the biggest and most renowned sites in the Nintendo community, and it has been one of the most diverse and extensive places to find information, fun, and even a laugh or two. [img]smile.gif[/img]

It is my pleasure to reveal the secret lost to the ashes; Nintendoland is going to be reborn. Matthias and Marcus are coming back to webmaster the site we all know and love. Rather than making the site merely a larger version of itself, rather than merely adding reviews or items that already exist, a long, gradual change will result of this and become a site revolution. The site will change dramatically and seek to bring new ideas to the site to make it more interactive and dynamic. It will also in time deploy its own set of forums in the future when the website becomes complete. For now, we encourage you to go and check out the old features of the site, and then eventually to check it over time to visit the new features and expanded forums. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I assure you that I am indeed lucky to be a part of Nintendoland's revival through TGA, and I hope you will find the new Nintendoland to come an even better place than it was last you saw it in action!

Yay! That sounds great; Nintendoland is the reason why I came and registered here in the first place.

I hope that this "rebirth" of Nintendoland will go well. ^_^

It's times like these that you wonder whether the Metroid section will be worked on further, or remain stagnant.

Masamune · 07-22-2004, 08:28 PM

This is some of the best news I've heard in awhile. I'm lucky to be err... assisting TML in this revival through TGA...

Yeah...

Pieist · 07-22-2004, 10:46 PM

Marcus and Matthias....I SALUTE YOU!!!!! Seriously I've been kind of depressed ever since NintendoLand became inactive. And everytime I went there and read all the game reviews I got even more depressed. Then again going to dead sites always depressed me for some reason. Oh well right now I have a mixture of happiness because of this, and false happiness from the sip of margarita I just took. O_o. Yea I know I'm too young for drinking but it was just a little sip

Mariosrpg89 · 07-23-2004, 12:02 AM

Awesome!! I love Nintendoland. I especially hope they'll keep Mario Mania, I loved that section.

Mario Jr · 07-23-2004, 01:35 AM

Wicked cool! I was having such a terrible day today but hearing this totally brightens my day. Like most members here, Nintendoland was the reason I came to these forums. I can;'t wait to see what's instore.

Link47 · 07-24-2004, 08:50 PM

WOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!

MattiasLiedholm · 07-25-2004, 09:46 AM

It's Mattias Liedholm here. I bow my head deeply and thank you all for the kind words. That's right we're going to relauch NintendoLand. I and marcus are very thrilled about the new possibilites this server change presents to us and the new community based site that we will start to build. This new site will not be up in a while (3-5 months) though, but the old one is to be up in the meantime.

For more news see the NLand mainpage.

Masamune · 07-25-2004, 11:08 AM

I don't suppose you will be looking into adding staff this time around, will you?

MattiasLiedholm · 07-25-2004, 01:20 PM

I'm not quite sure that I understand you completely Masamune but are your talking about having new staff on the site like new moderators etc, yes that is right. The old moderators have recieved a mail if they want to mod for the new forums. Other staff is also needed when time progresses.

Masamune · 07-25-2004, 02:04 PM

I meant for site staff, i.e. adding new content to the site and that sort of thing.

MattiasLiedholm · 07-26-2004, 11:28 AM

Yes when the NEW NLAnd is up, we'll be needing many new moderators and staff. The site will expand and that will lead to new staff being recruited.

Masamune · 07-26-2004, 09:26 PM

I see...

Well I sent you an e-mail in that regard. There was no reason for me to post it here.

Just you wait. Soon you'll be calling ME boss!

Err... boss.

**Wyborn** · 04-18-2008, 12:46 AM

I was about to lock this.

It actually updated.

***ZeldaGirl*** · 04-18-2008, 12:48 AM

Hah, I DID lock it. Um, wow?

**Wyborn** · 04-18-2008, 12:50 AM

Wait, no.

This site is a rip-off. It's not the original site, it's just stealing its entire layout.

Hopefully not the content.

Nnngh. I wonder where this is going.
