Maybe we could do a weekly or monthly ranking thing like whoever takes the most records in a week sitewide could get a feature on the homepage. Everyone would want to be on the homepage and it could maybe spark some more competition. Say "Champion of the Week/Month"?

I don't know, just a thought

Ok so I've never made a forum post and I feel like this would be a good time to.

I joined TSC in September of 2014 (wish I could've been around in the glory days yadda yadda yadda) and I feel like as a new guy I could maybe provide some helpful insight. (Or maybe not and I'm just full of shit, who knows)

So anyway, I had been part of the Paper Mario community for a little while back when I ran Any% in February of 2014 and I noticed in August of 2014 that there was absolutely no community for S06--a game I was interested in getting into. There was no place where people that ran the game could all hang out, chat, get to know each other, discuss strats etc. So in October I took the time to scour the interwebs to find every 06 player I could, PM all of them on twitch or tweet at them asking for their skypes so we could make a skype group. We started with a humble gathering of 6 people.

That was 6 months ago

Since then our skype group has flourished into a group of 20+ people that have a passion for the game, we constantly motivate each other to improve our times and it has gotten a ton of older runners to start playing again and inspired new runners to pick up the game. Hell, it has helped me tremendously in getting motivation to improve my IL stats in the game here on TSC and my SS runs. I have really gotten to know good friends like Focus, Yish, DsS, Tony, Bigness, Dax, Markus, Brenz, masta, Daniel, Ouro, R2, Paulie and together we have built the 06 community from scratch.

Focus already mentioned that 06 has been the most active on the site its ever been since about 2007, and I think I can trace that back to our skype group. Every time someone breaks a record people get hyped up and congratulate him, profusely spamming the group with emotes and such. Every time someone streams 06, all you have to do is post the link to their stream in the skype group and the community comes out in full force to support him. Every time someone asks a question about what story to run first, people fight over their favorite characters and stories be it sonic silver or shadow because they're so eager to welcome new people. THIS is the type of community that makes a game popular and promotes activity, not random BS calling and drama.

The reason I say this is not to brag about 06 (even though 06 is awesome :D) or to put down other games or anything or anyone specifically, I just think that from a purely community standpoint, this is what we need to work towards for every sonic game on TSC. We need to have a passion for running sonic, we need to be open and nice and welcoming, we need to have a place where people can put their streams so the TSC community can come out and show support, we need to have people fighting over which game a new player should run. Heck, we should have a way for people who are new to introduce themselves to the rest of the community. And in general, we should be more positive. This type of drama i think should be dealt with privately on skype or something unless its REALLY necessary for every single person on the site to see it (thats just my opinion idk take it or leave it).

I know I have no business sticking my nose into this post where it doesn't belong but I guess I did it anyway :P.

Thorn and Parax, I wish I had the chance to get to know the two of you better before your departure, I hope you had a ton of good times on the site that will last you a lifetime and best wishes in all of your future endeavors!

P.S. Sorry in advance if I directly or indirectly hurt someone's feelings with this, I just felt like sharing my own naive opinion from the perspective of a guy who is still one of the newest members

I know thread necromancy is a sin, but being on the TSC twitch team would be pretty chill www.twitch.tv/tripl3ag3nt
