Wondered if we could get a category set for "BumBop%"?

Rules:

The timer starts on file select, and ends when "SOCKO" is fully displayed on screen after hitting the bum (as in, the transition animation from the bum to socko has fully completed)

Popcorn_Cannon, NESs7or9, and myself have been running it for fun, but it would be cool if we could get an official chart for the game.

When I started moderating leaderboards, I was specifically instructed by the then-owner of this site to clean up various NES boards that had categories that had arbitrary goals and didn't involve game completion. The consensus of the community was that creating "meme" categories cheapened the value of the very thing this site was created to keep track of. I personally felt that arbitrary categories made boards look messy and unprofessional.

I am truly happy that the three of you enjoyed speedrunning this game with an unusual goal in mind. But in continuing to uphold the standards of the community to which I continue to contribute, I won't be creating a category for it.

I appreciate the response, and respect your take. While not looking for a fight or argument, I'd like to leave a contrasting opinion that meme/fun runs are a great way to introduce people interested in speedrunning to dip their toe in the water and get an idea either of the game itself, or of speedrunning as a whole.

I see how meme runs can be a "cheap" way to stack you trophy score, though. I think the best of both worlds would require a change to the site that allows a separate section on profiles altogether that weigh/separate the "fun" runs from the more serious completionist runs. So yeah, I get that would probably never happen haha.

Thanks again.
