Discord and milliseconds

Hi everyone!

I'm glad so many runs have been submitted lately, and I'm sorry for the time it took for me to verify them, as I have been quite busy lately and often forgot to check this website.

In order to fix that issue, I've created a Discord server which, if you are able to join, can serve as an exchange platform for the community and as a way to notify me when you upload a run, in case I missed it. Indeed, I'm much more active on Discord than on here, so it should speed up the process of getting your runs validated. You can find the Discord on the side-bar, or at this address: https://discord.gg/h4rsNRn

On another note, I recently added milliseconds to the leaderboard to fix potentially ties for first, and to allow for an overall increase of the fairness of the leaderboard. However, older runs still do not use ms, so I am in the process of manually adding them to the runs.

From now on, too, it will be compulsory to add milliseconds to your runs, preferably when you submit them, or at the very least to use livesplit (or a similar timer) on the video itself. For Level Time Trials (not the full game, but Individual Levels), we will obviously take into account the in-game time, as it is the easiest and most precise way to proceed, so no need for an external timer there. I will not reject runs if this rule isn't followed, but the milliseconds value will be set to 999 in case there is no indication of the ms time anywhere. It might sound trivial, but a whole second on races of a minute and a half makes a world of difference.

Thanks everyone for reading this and good luck with your runs!
