wow, great work with the new template! ice cream will be arriving in the mail shortly. ;b edit: i suspect you didn't test the template in IE (which most viewers use). =/ I'll try working more on it later. Nicholas 23:14, 18 May 2006 (EDT)
 * I don't have access to IE 7, but I just got the template to work in IE 6. Opera and Safari are left as an exercise for the reader, and you may wish to refer to Pos for help. (BTW, have you considered putting a "Get Firefox" button below the toolbox at left?) --Tepples 16:28, 19 May 2006 (EDT)
 * na, i have this thing against browser bias ;]Nicholas 19:32, 19 May 2006 (EDT)

Copyright
Tepples, I believe your wrong if you read the licenses...

It would be wrong to go from the Tetris Wiki to the Wikipedia, but the first line in the wikipedia's copyright rules reads as this:

to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others.

This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free software.

And because we allow it to be used free with credit, copying from wikipedia verbetabim should be just fine. This is the same reason it's legal to run a mirror of wikipedia with your own modifications to it. (like reference.com does).

Tetris Worlds
 who plays Tetris Worlds' "hotline" mode?

I can get it for GBA if it will help. --Lardarse 00:06, 14 November 2006 (EST)

I've got it for Gamecube, what's the need? --Colour Thief 17:51, 14 November 2006 (EST)
 * Just wondered who was familiar with hotline, to see if the description in Tetris Worlds is accurate, that's all. --Tepples 20:44, 14 November 2006 (EST)
 * Is it worth getting anyway? (remembering that it likely won't get much playing time now that Lumines 2 is about to be released... that reminds me, we need a Lumines page. I was starting to write it, but ran out of inspiration after about a line or so...) --Lardarse 00:01, 15 November 2006 (EST)
 * I paid ten canadian dollars for it, and felt that was a little much. It's a very quirky version. If you feel like checking out The Next Tetris (PSX and others) and The New Tetris (N64) it's probably worth a shot (their game modes are included), but it's nothing special overall. Every aspect of the presentation gets on my nerves, and I disagree with a few gameplay decisions like auto rotate when holding a rotate button. --Colour Thief 06:19, 15 November 2006 (EST)
