Sun, 7 January 2007 Hey there everyone, Ben here, just informing you that the WiiDS Forum is now officially online. As of yet, we are being hosted by another Nintendo podcast, called Nintencast (www.nintencast.com), until we can get our own hosting, and get a decent website set up. Now, as of yet, the forums are really basic, with a plain layout, and only a few sections. However, as time goes on, we will get more content on there, to make the experience even more enjoyable! Here's the link: www.wiidsforum.com So get on there, and get involved! Ben@WiiDS Category: podcasts -- posted at: 10:29 AM Comments[0] |
