I'd love to see some not-so-popular spyro games get some attention in the marathon.

Hello spromies I am a new spyro speedrunner and I would like to participate in the spyrothon SRL races however I have not received my spyro speedrunning certificate is that going to be a problem with regards to participating in the spyrothon SRL races that I mentioned I wanted to particate in

Just to comment with a couple of concerns that many members of the community are having with regards to the recent changes/polls that have taken place.

1: While the differences between swim routes and non swim routes in the any% category are very great, it's been made clear that many people are not in favor of the way that the information is being represented. A possible reconciliation would be that swim is added as a 'checkbox' in the same way that emulator is introduced and sorted on the leaderboards. Methods of adding swim to the leaderboards can be voted on.

2: Mods: Many active members of the spyro speedrunning community have transitioned from the google docs based leaderboards and their reasoning was for a more simplified approach to change, and moderating of the leaderboards. It's become clear that many members are not happy with the current mod list and I believe it would be beneficial for the members, and current moderators, to have a vote on the mod list so as to not bring some of the issues with gdocs over to srcom leaderboards, and further facilitate a leaderboards environment that the community is happy with.

3: 40 orb vs classic 40 orb categories. This one was already voted on, so not very relevant to bring up. Some members may possibly want a re-vote on the naming of this category, suggesting that something like "classic 40 orb" is a more relevant naming scheme for the category. Yes, classic 40 orb isn't as 'self-explanatory' as any% nbs for new runners, but for many members of the community the change was too abrupt and left a bad taste in our mouth.

I hope that it was not out of place for me to mention my concerns in this post, and use this forum board as an avenue to express my own thoughts on the matter, but the "touchiness" of this topic in the spyro skype group has led me to want to get this topic settled for a definite future of friendly competition in speedrunning some of our favorite childhood games.

Thank you, evanjam
