That is nice to hear, but if a board isn't being maintained it can be frustrating for runners. You're telling me you've waited 21 days for your run to be verified? Others have possibly been waiting longer. Can't really ignore that just because the moderator is a kind person.
I encourage anyone interested in this role to get in contact with bjw. If you don't receive a response just use this forum. https://www.speedrun.com/the_site/thread/dueac Possibly link this conversation to explain the situation.
Typically when this happens other mods are added. Sometimes given the verifier role if needed. bjw can you please inform us why you haven't done either of these things? Is no one interested?
Its part of the game. So yes that's allowed.
Ohayo everyone! >^_^/ I am here as well!
Anyone mind if I change the background? Its quite pixelated.

Hello! Both moderators for this game have apparently been inactive for 8 months. I would be more than willing to verify any runs that come in. Thank you.
Absurd as it may seem, many world record runs have been achieved on keyboard. Here is an extreme example: https://www.speedrun.com/sm64/run/yl4p552m
In regards to fairness, it really depends on the game. I can't speak for battletoads. I don't know much about the runs for this game. What I can say is that controller is usually preferred because it offers very precise control and its easier to play with. In most cases this is an advantage. You can play EMUS with a controller by the way.
Should you make separate category? No. Personally I don't think so. As you've said, there are only 3 active players. Plus, I see very little reason to do so. I mean, just looking at the times it didn't seem to give a huge advantage.
Welcome! Celeste is a good first goal. Best of luck to you!
I would like to revisit this year old convo! If you don't mind. I don't expect a response but I'd like to give my thoughts.
Personally, I've found focusing really doesn't help me much. Since I already know precisely where my character's hitbox is. I think there are many pros to allowing retexturing aswell. It makes the game way more appealing to the eyes. Which would greatly help runners since we play the game over and over. It wouldn't surprise me if this has discouraged someone from running the game.
