I'm sorry but this has to be said.
First of all, I'm not a representative of the Nintendo forum. I'm a member who, although is passionate about Nintendo, likes to talk about games and life and such. Sure, most of the time I talk about Nintendo, but if you look closely at the forums, you'll see I've ventured into the X-box forum, the Sony forum (though only on rare occasions). Infact one of the only forums I never visit is the WWE forum cos wrestling doesn't interest me at all!
Secondly, you're all taking this too seriously! It's just a message board, nothing more! "Oh no, we've got 15 members with a gold name who are supposed to be better than us, surely the number should be reduced!" Grow up! Do you realise how jealous you sound? Ok, so some of you who are saying this are Notables. What's wrong with others becomming Notables too? Is it because they're ruining the exclusive club of better members? NO ONE IS BETTER THAN ANY OF YOU ON HERE! You're all just names on a message board - don't take things too seriously!
Thirdly, I've heard lots of spiele about how being a Notable meant something ages ago. Well as far as I've always known, it's just been a popularity contest! Nothing more! Being a Notable doesn't mean you're more respected - that's absolute rubbish! All it means is that on such and such a date, you were the most popular member.
Fourthly, As I've already said in Turbonutters forum, what does it matter if there are lots of Notables. Surely if they were voted in then they deserve it! Do you really want twice as many elections on these forums as before? Do you really want the notable system to actually take over the whole 'chatting about games and life' scene? Take a look at the forums today. For the last three days, all that's been mentioned is "Notable this, Notable that" that you've all forgotten about games! Sure, some have taken advantage of this and started topics in Prime to try and win whilst everyone is pathetically talking about trying to get their names in gold. But this would happen even more if you have another voting system going on!
Here's some advice - Prioritise. Think of the important things in life.

in like 5 years we will need a new status cos there will be so many notables.
Infact one of the only forums I never visit is the WWE forum cos wrestling doesn't interest me at all!

It's all taken too seriously I think.
YEAH! FFFFFFRRRREEEEEEDDDDDOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!! or something like that we still have are freedom to speech aslong as it's not offencive
They may change our names, but they'll never take our freeeeeeeeeedom.
Yeah im with you Edgy, people should be talking about the games and life there are many things that could be made into a deep and meaningful conversation. But I do think if you are a notable your opinions are more looked towards than say if you were a Newbie or even a Regular it just happens i don't know if people mean to but they do, there bound to you did get voted to be a good poster by the majority of posters

Heh, I think if you'd still been banned at the elections you woulda won. I woulda voted for you just to make a point :D
(oh yeah, and so people would think I was a 'hardcore rebel' obviously)
> Pfft, gold, red, purple, who cares?
Gold? Pee pee! :D

Meh, I dont really care.
Anyways, congrats Edgy.

Well. People got voted as notable, because people thought they were the best poster/s at the time. So be it. Not like you have a magic "Ban" button :-D (Sheepy)
Pfft, gold, red, purple, who cares?
