Title: How did you find this place?
Post by: Ninjask on February 15, 2010, 03:17:39 PM
Did you find this place from Bulbapedia, ZeldaWiki, Super Mario Wiki, or something else (friend, random link etc.)?

I found this place from Bulbapedia personally.






(I don't know how to make a poll...)

Bulbapedia. Or more specifically, Bulbanews.

And I'm afraid making a topic with poll is currently unavailable in this forum.

Does Bulbapedia have more users than MarioPedia or something? Or is it just the time of day factor?
Title: Re: How did you find this place?
Post by: SMB on February 15, 2010, 04:28:49 PM
MarioWiki.

Basically this.

Obviously Bulbanews/garden/pedia you get the idea.
Title: Re: How did you find this place?
Post by: Ninjask on February 15, 2010, 04:43:13 PM
I'm not surprised that a lot of these people came form Bulbapedia since that place is a popular Wiki site. That, and it's the only one of the Wiki's to display the alliance on the news on the main page.

I came here from the Super Mario Wiki, of course.

Bulbapedia/Bulbanews, like it was mentioned, it was the only one to mention it on the front page.

One day I fell asleep in the internet... When I woke up, this place had been built around me.

That's embarassing though, so I tell everyone I'm from the Mario Wiki.

Funny for me. I woke up today, and thought to myself "should I check Mario Wiki, or Bulbadpedia first?"

I went with Bulbapedia.

...Sorry Mario :/

The news article in bulbanews? only those of the writer or administrator user group can edit mainspaced article there.

and for the SMW article, yeah, I just saw that one too.

Being a Pokémon freak who loves visiting the site to find out info every now and then, I found out from the Bulbanews section on the main page.
See? Bulbapedia is the main reason most of us are here right now!
One of the reasons I left Mario Wiki was because there wasn't enough life there...  :laugh:

Title: Re: How did you find this place?
Post by: Gary Oak on February 16, 2010, 02:27:00 PM
I'm not saying, because I don't want people to know who I was back then. I can say I was a big troll, that's for sure.
But I decided to pack that in and left the Mario Wiki... it was always empty anyway...
I'm a Pokéfan now...
Anyway, that's not the point.
So yeah, I think as long as that little news post about NIWA is still on the Bulbanews section on the Main Page, we can expect to see more and more users joining who say they were led here by that piece of news.  :)

Let Zelda Wiki gloat about the magazine article mention a bit, and when it dies down I'll put a news post above it bump it down :( At least 2 of our member sites posted an article (Zelda Universe and ZeldaInformer) Which was in the RSS feed for a while.

Because we don't want derps coming by saying "uh super maryo wiki is a wiki about maryo and weegee". We get it. A lot. For real.

BTW: Can someone give this place a livelier background, because it makes this place look very dull

I don't think that's happening anytime soon...
Anyway, I like this background! I'd be put off by something too dramatic!

Title: Re: How did you find this place?
Post by: VeggiePopper on February 17, 2010, 05:21:51 AM
It seems that Bulbapedia/Bulba news owns. Maybe it's because you know, Pokémon is Nintendo's most selling franchise at the time, so its fandom must be bigger than that of Mario's.
Title: Re: How did you find this place?
Post by: Nerdy Guy on February 17, 2010, 03:29:39 PM
Well kinda. It is partly because the Pokémon fandom is alot larger and stuff. Though it has nothing to do with how the franchises is doing. The Pokémon fans from Bulbapedia are all hardcore from what I've seen. Though most of the MarioWiki's community (and extended community) are retired users and stuff, so not alot of them still go to the wiki or wiki-related places like this anymore. Plus, we aren't as obsessive er... "devoted" to the series we love. We don't really do enough fanon/fan stuff to be considered a fandom.

The obvious way. Typing nintendo wiki independent alliance on google and clicking the second link.

Where I got the idea from typing nintendo wiki independent alliance on google? It all started when I typed mario wiki on google. I came to this place called the Super Mario Wiki. I became a user there and I learned about NIWA. I learned that there are 4 other websites also in NIWA (Zelda Wiki, Metroid Wiki, WiKirby, and Bulbapedia) and a forum.  :eekdance: :-\ :eekdance: :police: :eekdance: :mario: :eekdance:
