If they were to improve the streams page, it can be more encompassing.
Include gathering streams from SpeedRunsLive and the speedrunning community on Twitch, even if they're not registered on the site. For streamers without a personal best in the game (or aren't on the site), use title requirements similar to SRL. If they do have a PB, list them regardless unless their title has blacklist keywords. Would be good to include those as toggleable options on the left panel.
If ambitious, have a secondary box below "Twitch Name" that's used to search for keywords in the title, mainly for hacks and mods. If a stream's game has derivatives, like Super Mario 64, it'll check through the derivatives' keywords to see if there's a match, and if it does, it changes the game to the mod/hack.
The following games are expansions:
Command & Conquer - The Covert Operations is an expansion pack of Command & Conquer Command & Conquer: Red Alert - Counterstrike is an expansion pack of Command & Conquer: Red Alert Command & Conquer: Red Alert - The Aftermath is an expansion pack of Command & Conquer: Red Alert Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun - Firestorm is an expansion pack of Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge is an expansion pack of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 Command & Conquer: Generals - Zero Hour is an expansion pack of Command & Conquer: Generals Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath is an expansion pack of Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Uprising is an expansion pack of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
The thing is, the expansions are treated as their own game with often even having their own folder or executable to launch. I don't know exactly what "Allow Base Game" does, but they shouldn't be classified in the same manner how ROM hacks are.
What system are you using? Need a bit more information.
There's approximately 1067 duplicate runs. You can find them buy querying for >2 count of leaderboard, exact players, exact date, and exact time.
Under what circumstances can submission/verification date be before the run date? This run's video was actually recorded on the day the run claims to have taken place on, meaning that the two other dates are behind for some reason. It isn't a case of the run being edited, since that would update the other two dates too.
I suggest moving 'All tracks with loads' up on the list so that andy's run is the first thing viewers see when viewing the leaderboard. Either that or change the default view to individual levels.
http://pastebin.com/sHBiSVmp - All games with no (super) mods. DKC is already known. Fatal Fury Special has no moderators and has a run pending. All 3 DKC games have runs pending too; not sure what to do with those. NFL Street - Look at the mod count . . . http://pastebin.com/3KWWXZtf - Games with mods that haven't logged in over 90 days and have a run pending. This run can be hard deleted. It's a pending obsolete run and there's no means to contact the mod.
I've messaged the mods of games with runs that have been pending over 50 days who themselves have logged on in the past 90 days about said runs. Quite the mouthful.

Moderators can add runs on behalf of someone else.
Moderators can submit runs on behalf of someone else.
Me and lighnat0r talked about that a few days ago and managed to make a better formula that can be understood. There's a good chance it'll be included in the next big update.
On another note: I've crawled the site again and have all the data, I'm just fixing my queries before releasing a new sheet, as well as doing some analysis of N64 games.
F-Zero X Expansion Kit could probably be tagged as Expansion/DLC. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest the same, or ROM hack (Nintendo pls that's what it is).
Discus is very buggy and horrendous with user privacy. I'd rather have no comments at all than that be added. Besides, from how you're phrasing it I don't see how discus would bring more traffic to the site or be any different from a comment system built from the ground up.
Besides Google Analytics (which is mostly okay) there hasn't been any third-party property added to this site that crawls your browser, and I would like it to stay that way.
Not to mention the log out bug that occurs if you're logged https and you follow a link to http. I have my browser block http here for that reason.
[quote=picardk]- Since one is a subset of the other, it probably makes more sense to have just a Marvel series. A list of games that qualify would be helpful.[/quote]https://www.speedrun.com/post/2ymp4
When was Japanese Cover added as an option? I'm guessing the site looks different when browsing from Japan? Would be good to have covers for PAL, too, with an option in settings to switch between regions. The current covers would become NTSC and are defaulted to when the region's cover is missing.
Speaking of covers, there should be some conformity to them across the site (not as a rule, just a guideline). Covers without any unnecessary logos in a vertical format, similar to Twitch, makes for the best game display. Not every game has artwork available for making a vertical cover, so it's just a recommendation.
Could I ask why? It's nice to show you have 2nd place in a rather popular game/category.
