I'm changing moderation for this game over to a well-known community member with knowledge of the game.

I'm working with some of the site's NES runners to turn over certain games to active users well-involved in the NES speedrunning community and meticulous with timing runs.

This change is mostly intended to improve reliability of the data on boards.

I don't see how this change is necessary. Everything you cited as a reason for the change I have adhered to.
