The AGDQ submissions opened today and will be available for a week, and we would like to have a proper run submitted (rather than our current awful temporary one) for the committee to see while they are making selections. It has been a little while since the submission and indeed it seems to take quite a long time around here for review, so hopefully posting about it will get it seen.

I'll message directly if a few more days go by without any activity. I do see flicky was on five hours ago.

I'm not sure what the best way to contact them would be. Flicky seems to visit the site frequently, and has appeared online since the creation of this thread, but has neither replied here nor verified the two runs we have submitted, so notifications may be disabled (or ignored) for the two moderators.

From our experience and what we've heard from other runners who have recently submitted L4D1 runs, it generally takes weeks before a run is verified, which is quite long. I'd like to propose that active runners of either L4D game, or some of the L4D2 moderators become appointed moderators here because L4D1 is almost a proper subset of L4D2.

Since flicky is the one that keeps logging in, I am now going to directly message him on both Twitch and YouTube hoping he gets notifications for one of them. It's funny, his offline wallpaper on Twitch is of Zoey hanging from something with a horde of zombies under her. You'd think he'd be checking around here more often?

I agree, clearly something needs to be shaken up with the moderators. If they are up to it, L4D2 moderators are on top of things so that would be fine (Darkossz and Deln both respond quickly), or any other active runners, it doesn't really matter as long as somebody is actually checking.

Hello there I'm really sorry that the run's verifications take so much time. I'm not really involved in the speedrun community as i don't have enough time anymore (because of work, friends, etc...) Don't hesitate to contact me on twitch/skype/mail (ihsoy314@gmail.com), and i'll come back on speedrun.com as quick as I can. Anyway i agree with the fact that it would be cool to get another momderator for l4d1 but I have to take this decision with flicky as we are both maint-moderators, i can't take this decision alone. I'll contact him quickly.

And by the way, grats for your runs and good luck for AGDQ !

That is a relief! Thank you, Ihsoy, it is much appreciated. I'll keep in mind to contact you if there is anything else we need, and do let us know how the discussion with flicky goes, then it would just need to be figured out who to make mods.

Thanks for the luck, we'll know in October if anything has been accepted. It has been three years since L4D1 was last featured so that is probably the most likely candidate right now, and hopefully a re-showing of L4D2 as well. We'll see.

maybe add a new mod or something honestly
