Trivia[]
- All versions of the websites, except 2.0, were not given numbers.
- It was possible for some computers to get the Nitrome 2.0 skin for the 1.5 version of Nitrome.com.
- While Nitrome was making the transition from Nitrome.com 1.5 to 2.0, there were some errors with Nitrome.com 1.5.. This included images for the Skin section being squished, most of the skin logos replaced with the original Nitrome logo, only the worm and moles being the colour of the skin. This was soon fixed.
