[quote]whats the owners account?[/quote] i am the owner of the site
one of your threads got stickied, thats cool
a lot of stuff has happened, including a super bad update that added comments but had no anti-spam/harassment measures, so people started spamming comments everywhere. scam bots even figured out how to abuse it and left fake nitro links by the thousands only a day after the update if you go to the site forums, you can see a LOT of complaint threads
here's a funny video of the update
. some good news is that people are actually talking int he talk forum again, meta stickied a bunch of threads and the talk forums have active conversation now
i highly recommend reading this thread: https://www.speedrun.com/talk/thread/5b87o
School eats a lot of time, so I don't talk much. By the time I eventually read the forums, someone else has probably already said what I would have said, so I just like their post and stay quiet. I only participate in threads when I have something to add.
I actually originally wanted the punchline thread to be a full year, so I'm not disappointed in this thread at all
One time someone joined the scratch game speedrunning discord, posted a video of a run they did, said something like "I JUST KILLED THE CATEGORY, THIS WORLD RECORD IS UNBEATABLE!!!!!!" and then left the server. I don't like when people call runs unbeatable, because they almost never are, so I spent 10 minutes doing runs and ended up getting the world record. I had never even played the game before this. This turned into a very brief back and forth trading world records, but after I got a sub 20 run, he gave up because he couldn't beat it.
Edit: I was going to get the link to the run, and I found out that he left a comment saying "I'm gonna get this wr." He never did lol. Someone else managed to beat it though. https://www.speedrun.com/osg/run/z5dk1edm
People just like the chain threads I guess. My favorite talk threads are the ones that get discussion going. Threads that ask bland questions like "What is your favorite color?" are boring because people just give their one word answer and move on. My favorite recent talk threads are:
https://www.speedrun.com/talk/thread/93gia https://www.speedrun.com/talk/thread/ynhru https://www.speedrun.com/talk/thread/6i4e2
I think all of these are worth a sticky. I also think that DBTC should be sticky, since it's the OG chain thread and it's the most popular talk thread. It has over 60 pages! If you sticky any thread at all, sticky this one. https://www.speedrun.com/talk/thread/yzqno/
[quote] funniest and most informational forum poster 😃 .[/quote] funny is subjective but informational? liv, oreo, and others know much more and are more of a help than I am usually. ranking forum posters is useless anyways
@1 still updates the list [quote=Tutterey]Im second[/quote] unfortunately
I used to be second in post rate, but it's been dropping very fast since I don't post as much anymore.
the fastest way to get runs is to find games with lots of short categories, so that you can finish runs quickly. seterra is a popular one, ILs are only a few seconds long and there are hundreds of categories
