::Well then, let me be clearer about our issues: We are not trying to find the most irrelevant arguments in an attempt to start what I'd call wiki-drama. We actually like the new competition to some extent. On the other hand, we don't like competition that goes out of their way to best the other with tactics that make them look better than they truthfully are. For example, saying that you are the "authoritative" wiki on your main page when we don't outright brag / "lie" about our wiki size (you guys need way more content to get the title of authoritative). Additionally, you guys resorted to what Garlic Man called "redundant" when it came to your link flood, not to mention [http://forums.zeldainformer.com/topic/6260-metroid-wiki-discussion/page__view__findpost__p__133266 this post], which clearly outlines what you're trying to do with this SEO. To us, it's dirty because it's manipulating a bot into believing that you are better than Wikitroid, even though at this point you are not even ''close'' to becoming as large as we are. It's this we consider dirty. That aside, I understand why you guys don't like Wikia; I hate the ads myself, and since Wikia's quite frankly ad-centric, I sometimes feel as if it's overdoing it myself. Still, we're willing to compromise for the large ads, but for some reason, I'm not so sure about you given [[User:Melchizedek/ToDo|this page]]. On the Misc section on the second bullet reads Banner Ads. The fact that you have something like this suggests to me that you guys don't intend to keep this place Banner Ad-free, which is quite surprising given your firm stance that our banner ads are too much clutter on our wiki. Whether or not you guys will strive to maintain your word is yet to be seen. Anyways, the relations between Wikitroid and Metroid Wiki have cooled, I don't think we'll see another major argument anytime soon. Keep in mind, though, that we'll be watching for anything over-the-top at this point.

:::Have you ever bought shampoo? If you have you probably noticed how no matter which shampoo you buy the package will claim that it's THE shampoo. It will make your hair 30% more shiny and contains unicorn horn extract. Most will go as far as saying that this is the BEST shampoo out there. The second you show me a bottle of shampoo that says "Yeah, this isn't the best shampoo out there, but you should still give it a shot because we're getting better every day!" I will personally go and take those words down from Metroid Wiki's front page. --[[User:Uncle Meat|Uncle Meat]] 20:14, 20 April 2010 (UTC) | |||

I ported over WiKirby's template for rounding borders easily in most browsers. Just replace -moz-border-radius:Xpx with <nowiki>{{round|x}}</nowiki> to get it done. Treat the template like a style command and place a semicolon after it if it isn't the last item in the styling. The X will be the radius, and it defaults to 15 if it isn't defined.{{:User:Neo/sig}} 16:52, 20 March 2010 (UTC) | I ported over WiKirby's template for rounding borders easily in most browsers.
