vWii prefix for Wii U forum?

[leejaclane]

So I was thinking to myself that a vWii subforum for the Wii U board wouldn't be a bad idea, but when I searched it I saw this had been suggested 6 or 7 years ago already and nothing came of that, so I assume it's no good asking for it now. But what about a vWii prefix? There's a GCN prefix for the board.

Then again maybe that's just not a great idea for reasons that haven't occurred to me. I don't know. Probably this has been brought up before, but if not, something to consider perhaps?

EDIT: Here are links to previous threads about separate vWii forums or sub-forums, as requested.

Good idea, as there are faaar more normal wiis in circulation than wiiu's

Could you link to the previous thread in your OP?

There were 3 previous threads I saw in this board where the last posts were from 2016 and most suggested a subforum for vWii, simply typing "vwii" into the search function and limiting it to this board should show them. But sure I can link the ones I found, plus a couple of related posts.

Mostly my thoughts on a vWii prefix for threads in the Wii U forums are focused on homebrewing and homebrew applications, since the vWii mode is generally a distinct environment from Wii U and it also has a lot of differences from a standard Wii such that homebrew applications aren't always compatible between the two, so putting vWii in the Wii forums doesn't entirely make sense despite some having suggested it. A prefix for vWii wouldn't require reorganizing forums, but it could help with organizing threads in the Wii U forum. Just an idea though, it's not really necessary. People will still probably post vWii in the Wii forum and Wii in the Wii U forum, I don't know that this would make any difference there.
