Okay! I'll do that soon

I'm not saying we should ban it, I think we should make a new category for it. Because there are some players who probably want to get to the end of the level without using ads.

Also, it adds time to your run. If you took the real-time value of your 8 minute run, it comes to 12 minutes because of ads and checkpoint time.

Hey!

It seems like using ads for power-ups and checkpoints gives an unfair advantage since we've transitioned to using in-game timer.

I'm thinking of creating a new subcategory to account for this. Thoughts?

Thanks for your submission, @zir0nic! Welcome to the leaderboard!

Guide archiving and organizing would be a useful feature.

Take a look here, for instance: https://www.speedrun.com/smb1/guides

• I'm sure not all of these guides are modern and archiving the obsolete ones would be helpful for new players.
• Sorting of guides is currently alphabetical. It would be much better to organize by date updated.
• Categorizing guides might also be useful. Allowing mods to make guide categories would be nice.

SMB1 is just an example. This would be useful srcom-wide.

Leeroy95, the best place to ask about specific mobile games is in the Mobile Speedrunning Discord! Most mobile game mods are there and can answer your questions :) https://discord.gg/bpY8zeB

Hey BBRS! I'll send you a message on Discord and see if we can find a solution :)

Hey Bakbik! Absolutely! Just be sure to mark your run as an emulator run. Also be sure to include game audio :)

Under -social- in Edit Profile, it would be very nice to have a space for an optional comment.

I went on a trip for all of July and instead of displaying my Discord username on my profile, I wrote the message: "Hey all, I'll be out of town until July 25th and will not have much time to moderate. Please be patient!"

Hovering over the Discord icon on my profile showed that message.

I think it would be simple to implement this custom message system by adding an icon shaped like a notepad or speech bubble. It would be useful for all moderators and could be a mod-only feature if there's a worry about abusing it. However, I don't see it being abused more than it being helpful.

Edit November 2021: Thanks to the site staff for adding the ability to have a bio on your profile!

Hey @nyoshi! Thanks for submitting a run :) On speedrun.com, it is normal for it to take up to 2 weeks for a moderator to verify your run. The mods all have lives outside of speedrunning, and this is something we do in our free time. Please be patient -- it will be verified soon.

For better communication with mods and the Cat Bird runners, I recommend you join the Cat Bird Discord located in the sidebar. We'd love to have you!

Edit: I noticed you use a timer in your runs. Timer is not required for runs, as we use https://github.com/Slush0Puppy/retime to retime -- so you can leave it out if you'd like! For full world runs, you should use the in game timer.

https://mattbraddock.com/yt-frame-timer/ is actually based on https://github.com/Slush0Puppy/retime, which works very well!

While working on the new WR graph, please consider implementing any of these feature requests from two years ago:

https://www.speedrun.com/post/0b8zc https://www.speedrun.com/post/didpg https://www.speedrun.com/post/7xwjd

Summary:

• Click a run on the graph to be taken to it
• Toggle all categories on/off on the graph
• Handle issue of multiple WRs per day

Please join the Mobile Speedrunning Discord, we have all the resources you need and would love to know what games you want to run! https://discord.gg/bpY8zeB

My personal favorite is Game Screen Recorder. Super lightweight and fast recording with external audio.

Statistics page currently shows forum threads to be (forum threads - 1).

For instance, https://www.speedrun.com/Bluebird_of_Happiness/gamestats has 4 threads and only shows 3 on stats page. https://www.speedrun.com/red_beard_web/gamestats has 0 threads and shows -1.

List of rejected game requests It would be nice to have all the details of a game request that was rejected. Much like a user can see a list of rejected runs. The most obvious reason would be if the game was rejected for a minor detail and needs to be resubmitted (as a series, for instance). Also would be nice to include the rejection reason underneath.

Edit: Would also be nice to know which site mod rejected the game request. Site culture is directly affected by site mods, so even a small note in a game rejection notification saying, "if you have questions, please message me on Discord with this username" would go a long way for this website.

Edit November 2021: Thank you for showing details of rejected game requests!

Hey PugGaming! As GionniBlood says, you can turn on airplane mode before playing to disable ads. Also, on Android you can get an app called NetGuard VPN that disables internet transfer for apps you specifiy during VPN connection.

Wonderful job on the new update. Looks crisp and clean! Keep it up!

A few bonus things:

• splits.io gold splits are not highlighted gold any more.
• Wondering why this link was removed from "More": https://www.speedrun.com/changelog
• So, so excited to see what y'all do with graphs :)

Your runs are great, Dracaarys! Not sure why'd you want to delete them.

Hey y'all! This game is no longer available on the app store on iOS or Google Play. Meaning, everyone who is running this game has had it downloaded and hasn't deleted it. Save this game if you value it! I'm not sure if any emulators are available at this point.

Timing issue with "Free Fall" mode: Timing is currently based on decrement of your first snowball to snowball count hitting zero. This is for the sake of standardizing timing all the different sorts of modes. The issue with this is that a player who ends the game with more than zero snowballs left will have +4 seconds added due to Free Fall, whereas a player ending their run with their last snowball will stop timing before the ball bounces around and Free Fall begins. If the game gets more popular (which it probably won't, as it is currently undownloadable), we may have to figure out a different method for timing. But for now, we'll keep it as is! Remember to record from the beginning of the level to the results screen just to be safe, as timing rules could change.

These days I record using Streamlabs OBS and time with LiveSplit.

What do you use? Your suggestions will help new runners!
