EnglandThe event takes place on SpeedRunsLive, but there's no requirement to stream if you don't want to. You won't be able to participate in a race if that's possible however, because they require streaming.
@dominantmasterXgamer - This is a last resort thread, for when the mods aren't active, or are unreasonable. Literally all but one of the mods, between both games, are active on the site. Please discuss this with them, rather than trying to shoehorn your way in through this thread.
=== The Destiny Debacle ===
Okay, here are the facts from what I have read through on the applicable links given on the topic, at least from what is said
1 ) Zecora began by adding a "SRL" variable to the IL boards in an attempt to please the runners of the board. (14 Jul, 03:29 - http://www.speedrun.com/Destiny/thread/gr84f/1#c8oo3 )
2 ) A "SRL" category was added by another mod (14 Jul, 13:09 - http://www.speedrun.com/Destiny/thread/gr84f/1#mgwjd )
3 ) Final post on the first thread suggests the new SRL category was removed, variable placed back (14 Jul, 18:32 - http://www.speedrun.com/Destiny/thread/gr84f/2#z7abl )
4 ) A thread is started by CleverUsername to talk about the addition of the "SRL" category (14 Jul, 21:39 - http://www.speedrun.com/Destiny/thread/ob2fx )
5 ) Discussion back and forth, mostly between the game's mods - Zecora does play the "oldest mod" card, but only once - (14 Jul, 22:16 - http://www.speedrun.com/Destiny/thread/ob2fx/1#rktsn )
6 ) Zecora says "okay" and leaves it up to the rest of the mods - (14 Jul, 23:02 - http://www.speedrun.com/Destiny/thread/ob2fx/2#oq00p )
7 ) Zecora mentions "If the other mods asked before making changes they may have been okay with them (14 Jul, 23:16 - http://www.speedrun.com/Destiny/thread/ob2fx/2#t28p4 )
8 ) At points during the new thread xJackieBx has been rude to Zecora (Believing that Zecora's opinion is invalid because they don't run the game anymore) (14 Jul, 23:12 - http://www.speedrun.com/Destiny/thread/ob2fx/2#6b1bx ) (14 Jul, 23:22 - http://www.speedrun.com/Destiny/thread/ob2fx/2#w0bwp ) (14 Jul, 23:35 - http://www.speedrun.com/Destiny/thread/ob2fx/2#4jj6p )
9 ) Thread resolves, "SRL" category is remade
10 ) New thread made by a someone not agreeing with the new category - 3 runners want the items banned. The mods that have had input in the discussion (4 in total) have agreed to use the category (18 Jul, 02:57 - http://www.speedrun.com/Destiny/thread/sl4b5 )
NiiroKitsune - Please don't double post (Even if you deleted your last post) - Kirkq goes through all the new posts since his last post. Just because yours was the last post on the previous page doesn't mean it would get skipped over. I passed over it in my reply because your facts are right and no additional comment is needed, but there's nothing I can do about it.
xJackieBx - The problem honestly sound more like a problem of the Mods not communicating with one another - A community is only a community if they talk, and it's something that Zecora and the other mods need to do before making any changes to the boards, whether adding new categories, removing old ones, or changing rules.
peck324 - TheKombatKing was online 2 days ago, and has an active twitter account too. Mods aren't required to verify runs every time they come to the site, so please be a bit more patient. If there has been no response in a week or so, perhaps try again.
xJackieBx - There is now a separate category for them (At the advice of Kirkq) so I don't see what the problem is. As long as the unavailable gear isn't used in the full leaderboards then there is no problem here and your request will likely be put down.
Your stream will show up on the site, but it depends on what settings people have checked on the streams page. It can be filtered to just people with a PB, people without a PB, or both.
(Also make sure you have your settings set to show your stream on the streams page too - "Show up on streams page while streaming")
As is the problem with many games. It's just something that you'll have to dig into yourself really.
I doubt any of us would be much help, though I see you've posted on the game's forums too. Perhaps you could do a search on youtube. If anything's been found it will probably be there.
Or at least quote a comment, so we don't have to always find where the original user is.
You search for the game that you're running, not the platform you're running on. If the game you are running isn't on the website then you can request the game here - http://www.speedrun.com/requestgame
@Ewil - Agjents was online 6 hours ago, and has an active Twitter linked to their account. Melwin96 was on 11 hours ago, and has an active Youtube linked to their account. There is also no post by you on their forums in an attempt to contact them.
Mods have the ability to limit series mods, and if they don't allow you on the boards then leave it at that.
The 12 hour challenge is where you try to learn to speedrun a game start to finish in 12 hours.
12 Hour Challenge #3 August 5th-7th
Hi again. Believe it or not, I'm still Golden, and this is still my challenge to you. On the weekend of August 5th-7th, I challenge you to learn a speedrun. The challenge comes from the time limit; you have 12 hours within which you must learn as much as you can about the game, and complete your first run. Use this challenge as an opportunity to pick up a game you've always wanted to learn, or even to learn your very first speedrun. The goal is not to become perfect at the game in 12 hours, but rather, to learn enough essentials to get you playing through the game in its entirety. You can always build on your knowledge later, but you have to start somewhere.
The last two challenges each saw hundreds(!!!) of players participating. This is a great chance to get involved in the community and meet people with the same interests as you! Learn the same game as some of your friends and work together, or go at it alone in a genre you've always wanted to explore. Sometimes runners of the game you pick might offer to help you out in a voice chat, or you might find resources on Youtube or Twitch, or your chat might teach you things about the run... it's truly a unique experience for everyone who participates. This event is entirely what you make of it!
Note: The theme is an optional piece of the challenge, designed to keep things interesting for returning participants. You are not required to use this theme. You are encouraged to consider it. If there's a game you are dying to learn and it doesn't fit the theme, don't let it stop you from learning it.
The theme for challenge #3 is "I can speedrun it anywhere!" Some of the most underrepresented consoles in speedrunning can be carried with you anywhere you go. There are plenty of great speedruns on the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, DS, 3DS, PSP, Vita... uhh what else... N-Gage??? (maybe not N-Gage) The theme for challenge #3 encourages you to learn a handheld speedrun of your choice.
Just like with challenge #2, SpeedRunsLive will have a special "12 Hour Challenge" button on the front page, which will allow you to filter the front page streams to only show 12 hour challenge streams. If you would like your stream showcased on this 12 Hour Challenge page, simply put #12HourChallenge in your stream title while you are performing the challenge.
In addition, we are planning to host races again on Sunday afternoon on twitch.tv/speedrunslive, featuring players who all learned the same game in the 12 hour challenge. If you would be interested in racing your game that Sunday, please indicate that on your signup sheet.

There aren't any. Have fun!
Because the mod of the game hasn't been online for the past 15 days. Please try to contact them on their account linked social media. If there is no response from them once they have been offline for 21 days head over to the leaderboard moderation thread.

Spam thread with replies, will need deleting http://www.speedrun.com/Talk/thread/ygu1p/
Please provide some evidence, the admins of the site do everything in their spare time and don't have the time to go digging around for evidence, and probably wouldn't know what to look for if they did.
@ DarQ - The super mod was active 5 days ago, and has a somewhat active twitter account attached to them. Please try and contact them before coming here. If they become inactive (3 weeks) then you may come back, but don't come back if they just refuse to add you to the game.
