Newbie Guide to Ningin

Hoc Poeng on Tuesday, April 27, 2010 3:51PM

Ningin has been adding a lot of new users lately and I wanted to write a guide that will help you get to know us better. A lot of you find us because of our giveaways – we love giving out free stuff – but we’re more than your typical blog/news site. There are many other cool things about Ningin that you should know about. Things like:

Experience points (or EXP for short). This is measure of everything that you do on Ningin. It’s not some lame forum karma points or whatever other stuff they have on other sites. Your contributions here determine your status and ranking on Ningin and gives you an ever-increasing list of cool abilities. Besides points, you can win achievement pins for significant accomplishments, and we give out weekly prizes to our top EXP gatherers each and every week. We’ve been doing that for over a year now actually! For more information, please read our Definitive EXP Guide here.

Newsstream. Imagine an RSS reader with a giant list of KPOP, JPOP, Anime, drama, manga, and general Asian website. Now imagine people sorting through the thousands of stories each day produced by that giant list and picking out their favorite or useful ones. That’s what Newsstream does. It’s something you can be a part of and saves you a lot of time from visiting all these websites each day as well as filtering through all the stories by yourself.

Flash Games. Everyone plays games right? We have lots of flash games on Ningin. We run special events and tournaments around our flash games like, the DBSK Decathlon, the Super Junior Decathlon, KPOP Battles, and many more. We even created a whole league for our flash games which we called Mixr League Gaming. There’s at least one tournament every week. Participation in these tournaments earns your prizes and EXP not to mention a sense of camaraderie from other Ningin users!

Blogs. Our blogs are the most popular area of our site. We have a lot of funny and interesting writers that cover all aspects of Asian media like KPOP, JPOP, dramas, anime, manga, celeb gossip, video games, random news, you name it! We also do a lot of interviews with actors and pop stars as well as big editorial features.

Prizes, Prizes, and more Prizes. Everyone loves free stuff! We always have a lot to giveaway! That’s why we have around 4-5 giveaways PER WEEK on Ningin. The prizes range from posters and albums to bigger stuff like DVD sets and photobooks. We also give out crazily big prizes like game consoles and autographed giveaway from your favorite idols! If you don’t visit Ningin daily you seriously could miss an opportunity to win something. For more information on our giveaways, click here.

Mixr Network. Ningin is part of a network of sites with each focusing on different things. All of them are really cool and offer a lot of useful info. Your account on Ningin works on all the sites and you can earn EXP on all the sites. Plus, each has their own giveaway structure.

Community. We like to think that Ningin is more than just a website, rather we’re on an online community for Asian media. A community is part social network and part content (think stories and articles). Ningin has all of that and more. You can make a lot of good friends here. We actively monitor our sites for spammers and abuse. We also very much value and protect our users’ privacy. It’s an important goal of ours to make Ningin a safe place for people to express their opinions and to just have fun in general.

Future. We like to think that Ningin has a pretty talented group of developers that are always coming up with cool new applications and features. Not many websites can say that. We’re constantly growing and getting bigger and better than we already are. We’re here to stay and we hope you’ll stay with us as we grow.
