History
The Tetris Wiki was originally hosted on Tetris Concept (.com) from March 2006, which was also a forum. It was founded by "caffeine", a competitive Tetris fan who wanted a place to 'unravel the mysteries of Tetris' after one of his favorite sites about Tetris strategy called Tetris Lovers went down. [1]
Caffeine announced the retirement of Tetris Concept in June 2009. [2] He explains that he thought it was time to 'move on' and this was related to real life influences at the time, including starting a new career and buying a new house. Caffeine did not want the Tetris Wiki to come to waste, so he had all of the original content copied on to a Tetris site on Wikia.
This announcement was not favored very well with the Tetris Concept community. After the forums were taken down, an unofficial reboot of Tetris Concept with all of the original content was hosted on tetrisconcept.net without caffeine's permission.
Later, "Blink", a member of Tetris Concept founded a new Tetris community called Hard Drop in July 2009, featuring a home page, forum, 'world', 'videos' and 'records' sections, and obtained permission from caffeine to use the original copy of the Tetris Concept Wiki. This meant that there were now three Tetris Wikis; the Wikia version, the unauthorized tetrisconcept.net version and the Hard Drop Tetris Wiki.
In late 2013, Hard Drop contacted NIWA inquiring whether the Hard Drop Tetris Wiki could become part of the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance. The Wiki was accepted and became a member of the alliance on January 17, 2014.
