YES! I think you guys should also restore the 3 runs that were removed from the leaderboards when Chambers came. Its the next logical step. In my opinion, the whole emulator/NES change in leaderboards and the run removals were just to give chambers 1st place. Thats old news tho, and a debatable topic, so im just suggesting restoring everything.

Some of the runs were removed, cause they used hacked version of DK, which doesn't have Nintendo licensed information on title screen (runners need to watch out for it, it's quite widely spread on internet). Others just didn't show title screen at all, but I think it wasn't clear requirement back then, so can think about restoring them , just assuming they all utilized proper version (though any new runs without that proof in video will be rejected, always include reset from previous attempt or at least from 'power on', if you happen to get PB on your first attempt).

As for top rejected runs, it will stay as it is, unless runners will give proper evidence, it's not cheated(like video of some previous PBs, session showing their skills), since they don't have history of any earlier progress, are quite unknown runners generally and e.g. 1:02.380 run is executed insanely precisely with whole level 2 being done frame prefectly (it's the only way to get 4400 on timer). Apart from that, all 3 are missing information what emulator was used, reset from previous attempt or any additional display on emulator (like info about FPS or 'no movie' - second one available on FCEUX). That's too much to accept extremely good runs.
