I hope this community raises again to an enjoyable level when 2.0 is launched (or was it 3.0?).
At the moment it looks as if gamrConnect is slowly but steadily turning into a Sony-only forum.

Once the Wii2 comes out im sure the nintendo forum will be lively again. 360 forums were doomed from the start

Only if it repeats the unexpected success of the Wii.
The 3DS has been a non-runaway hit and already the Nintendo forum is pretty much dead silent on the issue. Some of the formerly Nintendo faithful have gone so far as to nitpick the platform, undoubtedly influenced by the fact that it hasn't been "printing money" as they like to say.
If they were being flipped for $500 on Ebay and people were stalking shipment trucks to snap up tight inventory on a consistently out of stock item, you can bet they'd be singing a different song.
If the Cafe meets with a similar reception, expect throngs of the Nintendo faithful to turn on that platform as well, become like bitter former Sega fans after the demise of the Dreamcast and deliberately continue to game exclusively on their Wii and DS.
Not the best case scenario by any means as Nintendo is important to the console industry and gaming industry overall, but at least that would save us all the insufferable smugness of the 7th Gen Nintendo fan.

Can you really call them the Nintendo faithfull if they are turning on nintendo products? I mean, even when the PS3 was at it's worst trending below the dreamcast levels there were plenty of people saying "Wait for ...."

The line will become "the Wii/DS was the greatest console ever" if that ever happened.
So still Nintendo fans, but without having to convince everyone that a platform that isn't enjoying the same level of near universal success is the greatest thing since... the Wii?
Just take a look at the 3DS; most Nintendo fans did not leap to buy one without question or a library of games, but will still insist that the DS is the best handheld platform.
