Is anyone still using swapnote?

[Willow]

If anyone wants to write them a complaint (I have) you can try using this form here:

Nintendo Webform Link

Took me awhile digging around on their site to find it...HTH.

I think that's exaggerating a bit.

Regardless, I'm pretty sad. Just happy I got all 73 different stationery before this happened though x-x

Well, I was using Swapnote a lot until Nintendo decided to stop it... I actually liked using it!

I tried to delete it when I got my 3DS

It worries me that it is entirely possible it could happen elsewhere, such as on Club Tortimer, but I doubt that.

Pfft I'm not! It took a lot of coins to get all the stationary and I like all my bonus ones! Not to mention the notes from Nintendo. Still sucks not spotpass messaging.

Shame no one but Japan gets Flipnote. Bull****.

Are you really serious?!

I believe you still can use StreetPass with it. SpotPass though is disabled for it, so you can't use it to send out mail to friends that aren't near you.

It's most likely a desperate short term solution to prevent parental outcry. Though, it doesn't really solve any long term issues. Any online experience will have any child succumbed to potential inappropriate material. There is really nothing Nintendo can do to protect minors from everything, but only make it inconvenient for anyone to have any social interaction.

Such as, what prevents a person in making a ACNL patterns that depicts inappropriate images? Nothing.
What prevents a person from sending inappropriate ACNL messages or town board messages? Nothing.

Simply put, you can only control so much...
You can only protect a child's innocence for so long.
