Nintendo 5-Star Forums reaches a new milestone!
Written by pikaby
And we're at forty thousand posts, just barely a year after the forums have been set up, in late July 2009! That's definitely a whole lot better than the last time the six of us tried this website/blog thing out. *high fives entire mod team*
And of course, we couldn't have done it without the support of our fellow forum members, so, thanks! Asiankid, Crossburn, johnny139, and the whole bunch of you who joined in for the SummerCon, you helped make this happen!

Nintendo 5-Star forum newsletter
Written by pikaby
I may or may not make this a regular feature, but of course, if something interesting happens on the other side of Nintendo 5-Star, I'll have to feature it here too. It's only proper....right?
Mario Galaxy with no hub world? - Debating the wisdom behind breaking tradition and removing the hub world from 3D Mario games
Favorite Pikmin? - A poll! Which is your favorite color of Pikmin? It's still open for voting, and of course you get to tell everyone why you voted.
Video games cause tooth decay - WHAT. Of all the detrimental things videogames do to your health, why your teeth?
Next console generation the last? - Come on, debunk Tim Merel's theory about the 2nd gaming apocalypse! Surely there's going to be more to come.
Best game boss? - For all the hard times bosses in games put you through...let them all out here.

About us
Here's a brief rundown on how we started out and how we came to be here with our intrepid little blog and forum.
Nintendo 5-Star first started out as a Kirby fansite, called Kirby 5-Star. You know, it's Kirby, and he's always associated with stars and the like, and that's how I got its name together. It was in August 2006 that I set up Kirby 5-Star as a GameSpot.com 'union'. Unions are GameSpot's version of user groups or clubs, except with a whole section dedicated for articles and a forum to boot, all for free.
About 3 and a half years into running Kirby 5-Star, our moderator, toadster101, was banned from the site. If you want to know more about the ban you can ask him. I'm not responsible for it *wink*. Anyway, because of this we had to move out of Gamespot to keep in touch with him. At the same time Kirby 5-Star wasn't doing so well and we decided to expand our operations outside Gamespot.
Destiny Guy set us into a Sparklit hosted forum, which we also named Kirby 5-Star. Therefore the legacy of us as a Kirby fan site continued here. But development of Kirby games grinded to a halt after the release of Kirby Super Star Ultra for the DS, with the long-rumored Kirby Wii nowhere near release, and Kirby fan sites all over the internet were running dry. We were also hard hit and activity was near zero. Think of it like The Great Depression of gaming. Nothing new, nothing to discuss, everyone dead.
So we moved again, on September 2009, to our current forum on InvisionFree, and widened our focus to all things Nintendo and not just the pink puffball. And our current name, Nintendo 5-Star was born.
