But this past January, a Polish programmer began hosting TOJ through what he calls Tetris Online Poland. And although I've accustomed myself to Nullpo, and most likely will keep it as my favorite all-time client, I have to revisit my roots, on newly revived TOJ--dubbed "TOP".
They have an online ranking, but it seems flawed and mostly illegitimate. It's difficult to track the actual skill of players when it's so easy to fake scores. But at least I'm somewhere on the Sprint board if you search Yotipo
Upon loading you have options to edit the DAS to the default, or an alternative that the server offers which I use. If I want to get into the game's core gameplay, I'd consider manually editing some values, which isn't all that difficult, but I'd have to go digging around some documentation on Hard Drop to find out what they are.

I've really improved over the past 2 years. I don't post on here much, but I certainly do play a lot still. Here's a few screenshots of my APM improvements on TOJ.
On 5-24-10 I posted
17.8 APM
On 10-24-10 I posted
23.4 APM
And today, 4-4-12 I'm posting
38.6 APM
So there's no doubt I'm still improving! There's lots more I take into consideration now, especially when downstacking. It sounded like such an absurd term since technically everybody downstacks, but to understand and have a good feel for all the foresight is an entirely different and more advanced subject
Maybe someday I'll be as good as these guys... if they're even legit.
