Obsession is the name of the game.
Yeah, I'm still excited about the Wikipedia entry. Thanks to Dan, it looks like a legitimate article now, with redirects and links to other articles and websites. It's really cool looking now.
Plus, as Peter pointed out, the language actually sounds authoritative and professional, like all the other Wikipedia articles, so it seems like it fits. Except... it's talking about us which makes me giggle.
In terms of the copyright, those run out. Which really isn't cool. I'm exactly sure how the copyright would work, anyways, since I'm not the one who provides most of the material for the site. And is copyrighting for anonymous people really able to be done?
If someone has parents who are lawyers that deal in copyrights and trademarks, asking them for the answers and sharing them with me would be a big help.

As I commented on Tangst itself, I, personally, won't be making any changes to site template until after I finish with the new system. It wouldn't be worth the effort or time to change those since we're converting the site within about a week's time frame anyways.- - - - - - -
To also address the question of copyrights and trademarks, all that legal stuff is a tad complicated. Now I know why law schools were invented. Reading through all of laws on the government websites is really... discouraging, to say the least. It's rather complex and the amount of money involved in registering Tangst for the sole use of Teen Angst Central is too much. I'm just not going to pay $175 to have it done. Not unless I suddenly come into a large inheritance that would pay for 4 years of college, 3 years of law school, and a car. Only then would I shell out the money to have Tangst trademarked.In terms of the copyright, those run out. Which really isn't cool.

For the issue of getting a tangst.com redirect, yes, ten dollars for a year is negligible. But I have no idea how to set that in place. But why would I pay ten dollars when right now I'm paying nothing? If someone else wants to get that done and is willing to pay the money and set it up, go ahead. I'll give you a listing credit on the site, probably on the sidebar after the list of contributors. Or something like that. If someone actually does that, we'll work things out then.
