Hey everyone. In regards to the name change for the thread, I had a few things in my mind when making that change.
The original "NintenDominion" name was basically a continuation of the "NintenDomination" naming that had been a tradition ever since the old "Nation Thread" era of VGC years ago. I'm not sure how everyone else felt about that era, but I've never been particularly fond of the effect those types of threads had on the community during that time. I felt it encouraged walled gardens of activity that had a bad side-effect of causing people to hole themselves into a particular thread and not venture far outside of it.
I'm glad to see that this does not seem to be the case with this thread, and so I didn't really want to reference back to that particular era of VGC anymore. Another reason is that I feel like the old Nation Thread naming scheme for the thread can be a bit confusing for newer members who were never around to experience that and may not really understand the significance of why a thread would be called "NintenDomination" or "NintenDominion", so I felt like making the name more simplistic and straightforward.
I'm open to critiques and input on the subject, obviously. So if anyone wants to weigh in on the topic or offer an alternative naming that goes along some of the things I had mentioned, I'm definitely open to it.

Your reasoning is fine... but I think "The Nintendo Thread" is painfully bland.
Maybe "Nintendo Fun Club"?
