Now that yesterday's Nintendo Direct has been taken care of, it's time to get down to business...
The Smash 4 Staff has decided that a new Miiverse thread is ready to be made. We feel that because this thread has suffered from a lot of off-topic posts and unnecessary materials, it's coming to a point that starting over fresh is the best course of action.
The original purpose of this thread was to bring up discussions relating to the screenshots that Sakurai posts on Miiverse every weekday, along with speculating on future updates. However, we've seen a lot of scenarios that lead to thread derailment, which does include bringing up leaks or rumors, along with the common usage of YouTube videos and animated images. Those things have resulted in a thread that has basically lost its main purpose, and is ready for retirement.
No sole person is to blame for this mess, but more it was a group effort. And it was a group effort that resulted in the mess that this thread has had to endure for a good number of months.
The next Miiverse thread will be having stricter rules implemented, and we strongly recommend that you read the rules before the new thread is opened for posting.
We appreciate this thread's dedication, and hope that the new thread will continue the dedication even further, but please remember to think twice about the things that you post, and whether or not it'll have a negative impact on the new thread. And while we want users to enjoy posting, don't be surprised if you receive any warnings or infractions if any of the new thread's rules are not followed. The last thing the Smash 4 Staff needs is to see the new thread getting plagued with senseless posts as well.
Thank you,
The Smash 4 Moderating Staff
