Now, the method that TG has taken from SR.C is the copying word-for-word of rules. I myself have written some of those rules. I gave permission to have my work on SR.C, not on TG. I certainly didn't give permission for it to be swept up by a bot and regurgitated with little to no context on a site that's only relevance to the community is the fact that it has always been the place uninformed people look for "the fastest times".



Now, I think it's important to address what the speedrunning community is. There are hundreds of active runners, and tens of thousands of viewers. Each one of them has their own voice. We are not a tight-knit community. Please don't take the voices of the few to represent the voices of all. The vast majority of the community would love to have you all stay away from us. In the past 10 years, we have grown from the small ZeldaSpeedRuns community into the large SpeedRunsLive and SpeedDemosArchive. I apologize that unlike TG, we are not a small community, so we cannot agree on many things.







Your very own "About Us" section states that "Twin Galaxies(tm) is the most preeminent professional organization focused on video game player achievement, recognition and world record keeping in the world." The main page also has a button simply stating "World Records". This is misleading, and contradictory to your previous statement.
