Hey guys, Smalls here wanting to rant about something. Something that has been itching me for a while.

What does a normal DSi site consist of?
Status?
Forums?
Blogs?
Messages?
Points?

It's becoming a standard now. Too much of a standard to say the least. Those are always the core features, which sometimes wind up being the only features most of the time. It's starting to over-saturate the DSi webspace.

I know I followed this route with DSiTabs/net and G/net, but that was when there were far less community sites around... Such as there being only 3 core sites: DSiPaint, DSiCade, and G/net. This was before DSiHub became popular.

It's time to stop this. I know the 3DS is on the edge of release, but let's face it... DSi sites will still be around for a long time.

It's cool to have a website with all of those features, but remember... There are dozens more with the same features with a good solid userbase. That userbase won't magically switch over.

Make a website, but focus in on a feature that will blow away everybody else's. That alone will draw in more users, not the fact that you have a status page and a messaging system.

So this is out to those who are looking into making a website, be genuine, not a copycat.
