New Mario game in the E3
I've seen that Nintendo will probably make a new Mario game (including a New TLOZelda and a Wii Fit sequel) found here. The possible new games will be shown in the E3 of june. It could be just a speculation, but the Wii Fit sequel has been confirmed by now.
 * Its not very explicative... But its good

It cant be accessed in the MW Applet or any other chat devide except Mibbit. Can someone fix this?

Actual research on Mario gravity physics
Well, this is funny. I just found out an article about the Mario gravity physics back in Kotaku, grabbing a few resources for me to utilize fully. ...This is when I stumbled upon this. :O Here's the link. Acceleration Due to Gravity: Super Mario Brothers

Any comments would be welcome here. :o When the wiki's that lazy, I bet this section would not likely be removed. ;o
 * I wonder how people have time for that. - Consider all the different gravity elements in Super Mario Galaxy. Some of them make Mario jump even higher than before to simulate "low gravity". - 07:36, 9 June 2009 (EDT)

interesting..... I wonder the gravity compared to our own. &#91;&#91;Lu-igi board]] 11:50, 9 June 2009 (EDT)

@Cobold: As far as I know, such things are usually made by intellectual people for (pseudo)science fun, it isn't to be taken really seriously. ;-) Like the German Donaldist (Donald Duck researcher) who created the map of Duckburg within 13 years (German article), or the Donaldism in general. --Grandy02 12:02, 9 June 2009 (EDT)
 * I know it's just for fun. I remember reading a German book about how Donald Duck should be rated 18 because of all the crimes being committed in the comic books. They took a quite judicial approach on that, and the Mario "scientific research" of the gravity sounds exactly like that. - 12:19, 9 June 2009 (EDT)

Suggestions
I'm not even much of a active member here, so not really my place to make suggestions. But nonetheless...

1) Most wikis (including the one that I'm an admin of) have their main page protected. Because, during a vandal strike the main page is usually a target. So, unless someone has already protected this one, it would be a good idea to do so. 2) Also, have you ever considered a bot to welcome new users? 17:11, 14 June 2009 (EDT)

Our main page is protected. And a bot isn't a real person. When a real person welcomes another user, it means more than when a bot does it. Yoshario'''

Problems with the site?
Has anyone else been getting a database error message? 09MurphyM 14:35, 16 June 2009 (EDT)
 * Sometimes the server goes down, but eventually, it fixes itself. Yoshario''' [[Image:Yoshi_wearing_mario's hat.jpg|30px]]

Rename Pages
Um, how do you rename a page already created? Can only sysops and above do that? Cause once some new Mario games come out, I want to change the Japaneese names to their English names.


 * You click the "move" tab next to the "history" tab. Yoshario''' [[Image:Yoshi_wearing_mario's hat.jpg|30px]]

Move question
Well, first, CONGRATS TO OUR 10,000th USER!! an next, my question. If a chat channel is moved, is its stuff also moved? (access list, GameServ, preferences, etc)

Polls and images
Why Does it take so long for a new poll/featured image to be put on? A new one appears like, every two weeks not one. 29 June 2009
 * The sysops are not on a regular schedule yet/any more. If we would set a day of the week to update the front page, we could update it more consistently. - 17:22, 29 June 2009 (EDT)
