It's worth noting that you don't NEED a leaderboard on SRC to speedrun, or build a community.
SRC isn't youtube, where competing is next to impossible. Speedrunners would go back to wikis if they had to.
[quote]I honestly don't share this fear of features being locked behind a paywall in the future. I mean, if Elo really wanted to go that route, it wouldn't make sense to have unlocked the donor perks for everyone to use in the first place, right? I just don't think there's enough to warrant being worried about something of the sort yet (and I hope that stays that way).[/quote]
If purchasing src doesn't start making them money I wouldn't rule it out. What perks do donors even get anyways? I donated years ago and still don't know lmao
The time to leave was likely awhile ago (like years), but a layout change is hardly the biggest concerns you should have now. Making a thread threatening to leave though isn't exactly going to get things to change overnight. Would be nice if someone still running src would actually communicate with the people using their site. Oh well, pray for no paywall!
[quote]I hope that the layout will improve in the coming months.[/quote] It was fine before. This is the new and improved supposedly, so I wouldn't hold your breath.
My eyes aren't that bad yet I have to squint to use my profile to pull up anything.
Yeah that's some new shit I'm not aware of, I ticked some box in my profile to require email verification to log in, is that it? Of the moderators my run is just as valid as their runs, considering those runs are as old or older, but I'll whip up a run real quick for whatever reason if that makes you happy.
[quote]If a game's moderators are highly inactive (have not logged on in three or more months) and not responding to off-site contact, and you have a run already on the boards, you may request moderation of the game without a pending run. Accepting these requests are at the discretion of site staff.[/quote] Considering I have runs up and have modded the board in the past I figured you wouldn't stuff me for that reason, especially since it seems that requiring a pending run isn't an issue if you have runs up anyways but yeah I'll just contact the current mods and see if they get back to me.
- Castlevania (NES) it's a great game
- Castlevania (NES) it's a great game
- No. Perfect example is the best Castlevania (NES) runner isn't even top 20
No timer is needed so long as your video is easily accessible (meaning they can download it and frame check it). Every community is different though, so I would ask on the MC forum, not here.
Requesting mod for https://www.speedrun.com/rondo I've had mod in the past but removed myself when I quit running the game. I've gone back to glitch hunting for the game, and I know there's been some renewed interest in running it from newcomers. Considering Skavenger and Bran haven't been online in 2+ months there might even be runs pending. I'd ask them for mod but no idea how long I might be waiting for that response. Also requesting (again) that rollbuster be removed as mod. They've been inactive for over a year, and inactive in rondo for over 5 years. It's not a big deal, but it's probably annoying to get DMs offsite over moderation for a game you don't run anymore.
I'm mainly just looking to verify as well as help clean up the board and take version differences as well as emulation testing/accuracy between different emulators more seriously, especially with a new official emulation out there (TG16/PCEngine Mini)
Honestly I didn't click I just wanted to see if someone actually tested these things. Comparing to WiiVC for accuracy to N64 is hilarious to me. People seem to forget that official emulation is still emulation, and it's often just as flawed, or worse, than unofficial emulation.
