SgtKabukiman handles the security side of things, but somehow I don't think that will be very easy for one person to implement. :P
LiveSplit has online features programmed in it (like updates), so it's possible that the program was checking and trying to find the website. I'm not a programmer though and I'm guessing LiveSplit times out at some point, so I'm probably wrong.
If the game can be submitted to and the game mod is active enough to approve runs quickly-ish, there's really no need to remove the game.
As long as the recording is good enough to watch and look at everything that is happening, any recording should be accepted (most game mods even accept webcam).
Alright, you can basically speedrun anything you want, but it depends on any time constraints you may have. Multiplayer games generally aren't ran (some people run tutorials - CS:GO being an example of this - but I find them to be a little boring), and some are just too long or too hard to route to be ran (like Just Cause 2).
The Dark Souls games are popular, and can be beaten my the top players in under an hour. Fallout 4 is also speedrun, but takes over an hour. Dishonored is a good speedrun I've watched. There's a lot of other options, too (Dying Light, Terraria, Teslagrad, etc.).
There's a lot of options on your N64 list. SM64, Golden Eye, OoT and Majora are the more popular ones there but there are heaps more.
Your PS2 list doesn't have many popular items. The Armored Core series does have a small community, but there isn't much else there from what I see.
Xbox 360 does have some support for speedrunning. If you look around you'll find good XBLA games that have a community. There's also the Halo series. As for the original Xbox, I have one too, but I don't actually know anyone that runs any games on it. A lot of the games on Xbox that are speedrun are generally played on other consoles, probably due to loading times.
Basically, what it boils down to is that you should look at the games you really like, watch a few speedruns, and decide whether you'd have fun with it.
Well apart from those two, there are a lot of good ones. You Have To Win The Game is one I have run, and it's free. Ori & The Blind Forest is one I want to get into once I buy the game, and it seems like a fairly popular run. I've been practicing Guacamelee lately, which is a fun action platformer. There's also I Wanna Be The Guy and its infamous (and seemingly impossible) fangames, with Boshy being the most well-known out of them. You also have the option of the standard 2D platformers from the 80s and 90s. Star Guard is a fun one I've played in the past, and it's also free.
There's a lot of 2D platformers. :P
My PS3 controller is pretty sturdy. The D-pad isn't the best anymore, but it still works.
Just wondering, do moderators of a game automatically follow the game they're modding?
[quote=MarioManTAW]Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8 could both use Single Level leaderboards. If nothing else, Single Cup runs for MKW would help.[/quote] You should bring that to the attention of the respective game's mods.
There used to be a "Match" button next to runs for mods, where it would automatically match the run to the user of the same name if a mod pressed it.
If your email that you donated from is different to the email you use on the site, contact Pac (Twitch is probably your best bet). Otherwise, wait for him to give you your gradient name.
If the game's not there, just request it. Games can be deleted if they haven't been set up within 2 weeks, so that might've been what happened here.
edit: Or a mod deleted it, for whatever reason. Either way, you can just request it again.
When submitting a new run, did you submit it or just edit your old one?
