I didn't see this post before. \D: I didn't verify those so I'm not sure if I should reject it after so long. I don't even know the original runners even, I just had to manually resubmit them to the IL section since they all submitted them under the Full Game section (it was a hassle). I'm not sure how to contact them even.

It was verified at the time. It's still up on my YouTube and when I asked the server basically nobody responded to me. Then I messaged a mod but they told me to message another mod and that person said they would look into it but basically it went nowhere. It's really not a big deal but it's not like my run was "rejected" or anything. It's not on my profile and it's not under any filters either.

Was a bit busy so I didn't respond. Of course I use an adblock but the whole past $5 thing was supposed to be for that... A shame.

CFW is banned in some games and isn't even good quality.

This seems odd to remove. It feels soulless that so many websites get bought by a bigger company and slowly but surely all the good parts get removed. I keep hearing about "plans" but then people saying "there's nowhere to see what plans are going to be made". Why? Why is the donate button gone? Don't make ads when you already donated. Money this yadda yadda but... don't put it on the login page or in a way where it moves the page elements around. YouTube has lots of ads but at least without adblock you can still use it. I paid for the extra features and because I wanted to support the site, not to get rid of the ads.

The basic platform should be usable without paying for ads and ads are to support it if you like the product or want to support it. Reminds me how Splits.io put like literally 90% of their features behind a paywall. That didn't make me want to support it. I didn't plan to but it really put a wrench in my motivation to do so.

At least the osu! community has an extremely detailed changelog and a donation system where it's reasonable.

Transparency is crucial in these trying times...

Would love to get it fixed but it seems there's some really bad changes going on recently...

I'm planning to do some runs again but there's no use in keeping a dead server around, in case any of the nobody was wondering.

Why is there an IL category in the full game section? Why is Book 2 gone? I realize it's quite long but that doesn't mean it's never gonna be ran. Also I did a run of all 3 books over like 3 days, took about 10 hours, so I'm wondering if I was to do that for real would breaks be allowed and how would that work?

They do as far as I remember.

Well technically, you could add duplicate subcategories and then apply those to only the boss levels but I can understand not wanting to do that since it's kinda tedious and a bit confusing for anyone who's not familiar with that.

Right. I mentioned Katana as an example, I get why it's on the main board. Would it be better to just ask in the Discord about this kind of stuff?

LiveSplit updated recently and apparently has an option to prevent it from getting clicked on.

I'm not involved and this thread is quite old, but yeah the filtering is there, but that doesn't change it being hidden or a bit inconvenient. Especially for comparing a specific platform as stayed previously. I have a pc and using src on mobile works for most of it, but clicking on filters if kind of annoying to get working properly.

Even LiveSplit doesn't really support individual levels. :/

Are the IL categories only in the Level section due to their difficulty?

Also slightly related, but is the lack of any other challenge categories (like Katana on the main boards) being on here because either nobody's done runs, they're not viable, or they're too similar?

Learning Katana as my first run really helped getting a feel for jumping and general movement and it also taught me the enemy spawn locations. It's also shorter since it doesn't have cutscenes ect. So I'd recommend that but really it's up to you.

Are webgames not official because webgames aren't treated as real games?

Oh, that's awesome actually. I made splits for every chapter but this, lol whoa.

Nice find! (Apologies for not seeing this for like 5 days though.)

This is really cool!
