This is the new spam frontier, mark my words. You'll just have a wii parade full of default miis with names like Pillzstoredotcom or whatever.

I don't really see the point of that site at the moment anyway, the only reason to register someone's wii code at the moment is to send them photos and messages... why would you add someone who wasn't your actual friend?

It really doesn't open the doors up to any unwanted anything. Everyone in the planet can add your code number. They can't send you anything until you add thiers as well.

So... far from 'unwanted' if you add them as well.

That said, I put up a webpage where people can send me all the unwanted emails they'd care to:

http://www.configurationspace.com/wiimail/

Any message sent from that page will go directly to my Wii. You don't need a Wii or anything, it's relatively anonymous.

Now THAT's opening the doors up.

It's a pity this doesn't work at all, some sort of webserver error on CGI. If you want to see Wii code trading done right, check out the shacknews commenter solution. That is, if you don't have to log into it.

If you can't see it: basically every user inputs their friend code, which is attached to their username on the shack, and when you add someone, you check a box next to their name and save it. Then, when they log in, they see that you've added them and can easily add you back. And it's all on one page so it's easy to add multiples at a time. Very simple and highly effective. Even gives you a running total of how many you've added so you know when you're approaching that 100 user limit.

Here's what I want... The friend code for the guy (or gal) who's setting up all of the old NES / SNES characters in Mii form.

Then I can save myself the trouble of creating Error ("I am Error") and the rest. ^^

I'd much prefer some sort of kotaku members setup. That thread you guys had up did not work at all... hell, crecente didnt even bother to come back and he started the damn thing.
