As far as I know, their current plan is to avoid touching the v1 API at all going forward. Hopefully the inevitable v2 will address the many issues and missing functionality of the current API, but it sounds like we shouldn't expect to see that anytime soon, unfortunately.

I've always wanted to be able to do Discord integrations like what you're suggesting more easily. Although, I do wonder if public API access to Discord connections for all users would make it easier for bad actors to spam the entire userbase on Discord... probably needs some additional safeguards.

Looks like most of the mods for that game are inactive (there's one verifier who's logged in a week ago and everyone else is 3+ weeks), I would just go ahead and make a support ticket, that's the preferred way to get in touch with site staff.

Ok I get the drama is weird but I think you've made your point, continuing to post here unprompted probably isn't gonna help anything. Just let this thread die and keep working with site staff to resolve the issues

I'm on Windows. It just builds to an executable (there's a build in the Releases there) and I run that. Not sure what the source of the confusion is here, I just can't help you because I have no idea what extra complications Linux introduces.

Lol yeah somehow these posts always have 2 or 3 levels of nonsense hidden behind them. Nobody ever wants to tell the whole story. @MrWeakwill No need to drag your drama into a public forum. Whatever this is just let it go.

If it's on a leaderboard, inform the leaderboard moderators and/or site staff and let them sort it out. If it's not, who cares. There's nothing else you can (or should) do about it.

I don't have Linux or know anything about compiling C# stuff for it, you're on your own I'm afraid.

I made a utility for this a while ago. It's pretty trivial to do with the API: https://github.com/ShikenNuggets/SpeedArchive

The variable should have a "values obsolete each other" setting, turn that on.

I feel I must note that not a single person has run this in the 3 months since it was added.

The one time donations were just not sustainable. The previous owner managed with them, but he had no employees and the userbase was much smaller back then. When the community started to really grow in 2020 there were major problems that he was not at all equipped to solve with the kind of revenue he had. I genuinely believe the site would not exist today if things hadn't changed (regardless of how you feel about the current state of things, SR.C fully shutting down would objectively be a massive blow for the entire community).

The ads experience is brutal and they definitely need to work on it, but saying the subscription "isn't fair" is a bit silly. This service is provided to us for free, and running a website like this at this scale is not cheap. Whether it's worth it or not to you is a personal decision, but it's really not an unreasonable ask on their part.

The supporter tier also does more than just disable ads. I actually really like the profile features, though I admit I do wish it a bit more tangible overall.

Every game has its own rules for this sort of thing. I would expect there to be accuracy issues with something like this, but you'll have to talk to the people for the specific game(s) you plan on running.

Games that are not part of an established series must be manually requested through the support hub. If you're not seeing a game, it either means nobody's requested it yet, or it's not eligible for one of the reasons listed there.

For games that are part of an established series, talk to the series moderator directly (if they're inactive or there isn't a series moderator, then support hub).

Playing on Normal is kinda pointless IMO, if you want to go fast then play on the fastest difficulty, and if you want the challenge then play on the highest difficulty. If anyone ever actually plays this game on Hard we certainly could add it.

A leaderboard that happens to have one arbitrary category is different than a leaderboard composed entirely of arbitrary categories. I understand the frustration here but that's hardly a meaningful comparison.

You should definitely post this in the forum for that specific game, or perhaps even the relevant Discord server. It's unlikely anybody familiar with the game will see this thread (the vast majority of users do not regularly check the site forums).

This is the general forum for the entire website, you should post this in the forum for that specific game (though generally categories will only be added if people actually run them).

Your instinct to keep it simple is wise. People making their first layout tend to overdo it with every possible extra element, cluttering up the game or just make a huge mess, when 99% of people only really want to see the gameplay and the timer.
