What does PBTracker do right?

What do you prefer about it over speedrun.com?

Originally before actually using speedrun.com I liked the openess. You could put any game on there. However the submission process is alot easier than I first assumed. As long as it remains easy . Maybe make an option so you can auto have runs accepted and they can be denied if something is wrong.

Also being able to see all your previous runs.

Unchecking "Runs require verification" in the 'edit game' menu sounds like it's exactly the option you're looking for :)

I didn't notice that thanks....It just makes it alot easier for people to get their runs up. I would still check it of course but unless something is seen wrong than it can be up.

If moderators don't reject runs for the sole reason of you already having a better time (looking at you, Grand Theft Auto mods), all your runs should appear on your profile page.

I like PBTracker.net because it's easy to use it for a raw, unfiltered feed of my runs. Any game I run, any category, any time, I can immediately put something up when I get a time for it. Video or not.

I like Speedrun.com because it works well as a community board.

I see the two sites as serving two different roles as constructed. PBTracker is good for competing against yourself. Speedrun is good for competing against others and building community.

I think this site is superior for personal times. It's all a matter of what games are and aren't on the site which determines if it is a good source for linking in Twitch/Hitbox bios.
