Hi Guys,

Noticed there's been a big change to the categories, not sure if it's still in progress or done. I only play the N64 categories so am coming at from that perspective. "Popular" is relative here since this game isn't played by loads of people at the moment but it seems like popular categories that are most run and competed with back and forth lead changes and increased run quality have been removed entirely or relegated to Misc, where as categories that have 0 submissions or 1 have been moved to the front page. If some needed to be cut (Not sure why this would be the case) I'd have had to let go the categories that weren't played and if some categories had the opportunity to become front page I'd have upgraded the categories that were played. Even stranger it seems like things had been as they were for years and just at the point when certain categories were really picking up they have been removed or relegated to Misc. TheAndySocialNetwork was streaming any% ps1/N64 wr attempts on wednesday for lets just say at least 20 times the views I usually get (he doesn't like to know the exact number of viewers! - also check him out on twitch - great stream very entertaining) giving the game great exposure and those categories are now downgraded, and are less likely to be played by top streamers who aren't MK specialists. I think these categories serve as a great way to encourage people to get started with MK4 speedrunning too, since completion is easy and you can gradually work on improving the speed. Cards on the table about 10 of my wr/2nd place times have just been relegated / removed entirely so I certainly have a stake in those, but trying to look objectively the a lot of the categories that are now top tier just seem weird to me when compared to the dropped categories.

Anyway just my 2 cents, no salt just a bit disappointing.

Peace
