Okay, I saw this and I need to give advice on the letter format. This is a business you're sending it to and it needs to be in a business format. First we need the address of where it's comming from. Since this site doesn't have it's own location, I would suggest having it be albert's house or one of the mod's location. Then you put it in this format. Nintendo Power (Number, street) (city, state, zipcode) (I would suggest alberts, or someone's name here) (someone's house number, street) (someone's city, state, zip code) To Whom it may concern (or whatever you want there) Allow me to introduce myself. I am (name) and I am writing this letter to represent all of the members of a website called Wii Togehter. (you might want to include the exact URL somewhere in the letter, but just put whatever you want here. I also suggest a brief description of the site) (after the letter, put this) Sincerely (Name) (your position, either it be Founder, mod, or decicated member of wii together) To whoever is writing the letter and putting their name in it. In this letter, you're representing everyone on the site. They might write back or not. So just keep the site in mind. But yeah, I support the idea since I recently started getting nintendo power, lol. Good Job Bran-Man.. I always forget this kind of basic stuff from school But yea, I think it's ok to just 'subtly' (as Albert would say) mention Wii Together before the body of the idea. If it's cool I can send the letter from my address if.. Albert has no objection.

I think we should do that because it would be easier. I'll send that for us. So Why don't we make the final Copy and I'll send it the day It's ready.

Why don't you just send him the most current form of the letter and he can then change anything he wants and send it back to you.

I guess, If they did it will bring alot more attention to the forums. But is that a good thing, or a bad thing?

True, but it is also nice as a close community. Seeing we all know what type of response the person is gonna say. Though it is online, we got a sense of some type of personality. Too many can spoil that. But some new ones could have some good ideas.

I don't see any die-hard Nintendo fans getting jealous of Xbox or Sony sites. But you've got to trust in the fact that most people who would come to this site from seeing it in Nintendo Power would be coming to join, not to spam.

1. Nintendo fans are obviously more kinder than Sony and or Xbox fans.
2. If the site becomes so popular that it's name begins to end up everywhere on the internet. Well you get the point

Eh. Fans are the same, fanboys, sony ones are the worst. Xbox fans usually have a nintendo too. So theyre less 'cuntish'. But also, the major spammers of video game forums are the ones that dont really play them.

Well you get the point That's because the Nintendo gamers are mostly kids who are 10 to 14 and know how to use a computer. I don't mind if this site gains a lot of hits just because of a letter to NP. After all I'm going to turn 17 and I'm still playing with Nintendo systems and own them. Sure I do play PlayStation and Xbox games but I don't own their systems that's because I go to my cousin or friends' houses and play them there. I just had this crazy idea. Thanks to the Super Bowl Ads. Maybe we can do a TV ad that is funny and it has the Wii in it, just like the Super Bowl Ad of the video game characters who did that remake of the first Scary Movie with the "Wassup" phone call. ;D LOL I'm wondering how the hell are we going to do it, if we are going to do it.

Lol. I think you're dreaming there. Anyways, why don't we make this letter really good and send it into Nintendo Power before we start to talk about what kind of spam it'll bring. Remember, Nothing will happen if we don't even send it. So could Albert, Bran-Man, or anyone else that can put it into a good format for Nintendo Power and I'll send it via email. ;D

I'd rather let albert take care of the email. We don't want to let him feel left out. Besides, it is his site.
