Suggestions

Isn't it alphabetical (...even 'n' for 'new'...)?  What do you want, smaller images so they all fit on the first screen?  Randomised order?

[TurtwigA]

I think a different layout. For example, the first days of NIWA had the three wikis as a hexagon. In the middle was a link to the forums, and the three wikis were put around it, and the names of their series across from the wiki describing them. I think something more like a wiki should be put into it, with stuff like wiki markup cleverly remade into whatever coding it uses.

[Tucayo]

Perhaps a drop down, or something.

[Greenpickle]

So that every wiki is hidden when you first view the page?  Sounds great.

[Tucayo]

Relax man, it was what was at the top of my head. V3 will come when it needs to come.

Why not just widen the current layout to four or five across?

[Greenpickle]

Yeah, it must be safe to go wider than 800 by now.  5 would go over 1000, but 4 should be fine.

Randomised order?

That'd be cool. Keep the same layout, but have the icons randomize in order. Because right now, I bet 90% of people will have already clicked somewhere by the time ZeldaWiki's image comes up~

This. Four would especially look nice now that there are 16 icons. (though that probably won't last for long)

Randomized order also sounds good.

[tacopill]

4-in-a-row sounds good, especially with this one being #16 - a perfect square and a power of 2!

[Tucayo]

Ok, I'll bring this suggestions up in the Staff Boards

Is there something planned for NIWA's first birthday? It's coming up right?

nothing i am aware of. Do you have any suggestions what we should do?

[Maxite]

Add some new forum sections. Expand the Lounge to have a Forum Games section/subsection?

are those general suggestions, or Anniversary ones?

[Maxite]

Well, it's not specifically anniversary, but updating the forums to be a bit nicer/more expansive as part of an "Anniversary Bash" wouldn't be a terrible thing. Might be a good time to do a site redesign that was talked about earlier. A new year, a new look.

If you're expecting Anniversary-specific suggestions, I really don't have any that would exactly be feasible. Some older communities I was in had "Spirit Weeks", but I'm not too sure how a wiki community would host a Spirit Week.

Another (non-anniversary related) suggestion I do have is maybe we should start trying to back/support various charities. TheSpeedGamers are well known and respected, and while they aren't exclusive to playing Nintendo video games, a lot of their fundraisers have covered Nintendo games (they have an annual Pokemon fundraiser, and they've done Mother/Earthbound in the past year as well). If nothing else, it'd be nice to see a link somewhere to them.

[Axiomist]

I suggest this. Even though, it wouldn't be done by the wiki staff; it could be fun for the regular editors/viewers.

This is true. 

[Maxite]

I'd be willing to provide a prize for the competition.

How about a VC/Wii Ware game of there choice?
