Glamorganshire, WalesEven if your only experience with Pac was his farewell message, the care and attention he tried to take in selling the site should say enough about his equal care and attention to the community. I'd like to think we've avoided a total collapse of the site because Pac didn't hand it over to the highest bidder.
unfortunately no, the reason is due to the notification system being unable to cope with the site traffic, it's an outdated architecture which should've been top of Elo's priorities when they arrived 2 years ago. It will likely improve over time but it's never certain when or by how much.
edit: Fresh in my memory thanks to a good explanation from Yummy Bacon
@Riekelt Most users with totally red names + no links or picture + new user who post on the forums are bots that will edit a malicious link into their stolen post later on https://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/comments/1jgozh/question_about_emulators_and_streaming/
I'm not a runner but I hope I can leave a somewhat helpful response here:
Suppose 3 total runners exist for a leaderboard, and one of them believes a change has to be made because of unreasonable rules. In that case, that's got to be appropriately addressed by the moderator - they don't own the leaderboard - which means it's great you've offered to make more categories :). Although that offer can't just be rejected, because it'd erase all the current valid runs or at least call them into question. You've got to compromise with what already exists and what needs to be added.
And it's not 'cheating' in anything like the same context as splicing mate, it's not 'just wrong', because plenty of communities allow it in certain circumstances.
But furtherly, moderators can't just make rules that pander to their own circumstances, even for tiny games, if the only reason keyboard spam is a problem for you is because of a medical problem, that can't justify a duplicate leaderboard. If it's a bigger, more annoying, problem, the auto keyboard makes complete sense.
If the whole game is RNG I'm not sure why speedrunning it holds a great deal of value, but it does mean adding player-controlled timesaves like a standard keyboard, would be good.
Although I probably won't speedrun this anytime soon, I desperately wanted an easy way to play this again and I just wanted to thank you for making me aware of Flashpoint, bloody amazing :)
I hope I'm not asking too much of Elo by asking them to remove adverts claiming to fund the Trevor project when they're no longer doing so
I know that (at least) your super on that game @VyPr will know the specific situation you guys have on that board if contacted. But you need to assign 'runs without a value' to a new subcategory on an existing category to avoid losing them altogether. If there are 31 pages of verifications to categories that don't exist anymore, you'll probably have to make the new categories as planned, then edit each run that's been submitted to be submitted for the new category. Although because you're saying the mod pages are empty, I suspect a modhub bug as occurred and you may still be able to use the speedrun.bot to view a list of all pending runs.
I'm more concerned that you're coming to the game forums rather than the large team of moderators you work with for advice ':)

@Parasxos I'm not sure I can remember what your strategy was but what I did for this chain was search keywords, 'cash', then the first bot in my list had lots of keywords in its bio which led me to the other bots.
incidentally, the only interesting designs so far are collaborations with IndieThon
I'd like to say I've cut the head off the dragon, but there are literally 1000s more of this type of bot. If anyone reading this wants to help, type fun88, then pretty much any other character or number other than the ones I've already done :) sorry star

If you're familiar with Fireboy and Watergirl, that's a relatively famous co-op game to speedrun which requires pretty active involvement from both players. https://www.speedrun.com/faw Most LEGO games have categories more easily done with two players.
I'll also plug the co-op categories for this game https://www.speedrun.com/pttr because they're not too competitive at the moment ;)
Sounds like it could be fun - usual policy with any new category is to get some community support but because there are so few active people, head over to the discord and see if anyone there likes the idea, then I'm sure they could be implemented.
