Things that ought to be dealt with to get TSC in top form:
- The rest of the missing videos. The site now can keep track (http://www.soniccenter.org/videos/missing) of its internals; if you have any of the vids on that list, please get them to TSC, either through email (rolken@soniccenter.org), FTP (PM with preferred user/pass for an account) or I'll be making an uploader for them soon - which should have the 2MB limit lifted.
- Silly, superfluous, impossible divisions. Things like STT Sunset Park 2 Score (you don't receive one) shouldn't be in the rankings. List others and the reason why they don't belong for the win.
- Sonic Advance 3 divisions (yet again) - final poll: do we split to S+T & All, or just All?
- Members and times that don't belong.
Also if there's anything else that needs upkeep point it out; anything already in this topic (http://www.soniccenter.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=846) doesn't need reposting.

Sonic Pocket Adventure: Scores in the Advanced divsion. You can only get Scores from the normal game mode, not from Time Attack nor Advanced so the entire Advanced divsion for Scores should be removed. Time Trial Scores can stay.
Sonic 3D Blast: Duplicate Total Time, Total Rings, and Total Score records. That should be removed.
Also, Rolk, will you be adding anything? Sonic Drift 1 and 2 are missing Single Lap time divisions. Sonic Triple Trouble is missing the Time Attack level.
Sonic Chaos: Sonic's Ring division, you can't have more than 100 rings.

Oh, so it's already been pointed out.
The more Rolken sees it the better, though.
Also the removal of all vids that aren't the best available would be a good idea. On the missing vids list, this would involve removing:- The slower Windy Valley Sonic (SADX) vid (1'43"41)
- The slower Chaos Angel 1 (SAdva3) vid (1'54"27)
- Steganos' Green Hill 2 (S1) vids (0:21)
- On that note, why the hell are there so many vids for GH1 25?
- The two slower Star Light 2 (S1) vids (DJ Caesar's 25 and my 23)
- Steganos' Chemical Plant 2 Knuckles (S2) vid (0:44)
- My Hill Top 1 Sonic (S2) vid (0:55, I have a 51 on my computer which I will either upload or improve)
- My Metropolis 3 Knuckles (S2) vid (2:27)
- My Angel Island 1 Knuckles (S3) vid (0:51)
- My Hydrocity 1 Sonic (S3) vid (1:13)
- Steganos' Azure Lake (S3TA) vid (18"17)
- All of HCC's S1GG vids
- All of my S2GG vids
...phew. That'd remove a lot from the list. Not to mention others that I may have missed because they're actually up and running.
Sonic Chaos: Sonic's Ring division, you can't have more than 100 rings.
[snapback]8101[/snapback]
It's possible in some zones, albeit very simple to figure. To get over 100 rings in SC with Sonic, just hit a 10-Ring Monitor with your currect rings total above 90 but under 100. Say you have 95 rings and you hit a 10-Ring Monitor. The 100 rings will take you to the Special Stage, but the extra rings (in this case, 5) will carry over, giving you 105 rings in technical terms. This will even show on the ring count. I once got 109 rings after hitting a monitor, the maximum, and the final count said (O 09): similar to S1GG's ring count.
EDIT: Not to mention, on the same game, any level with easily max-able rings should be blocked from score as well. This includes Twinkle Park, Speed Highway and Lost World.

I don't know about Lost World, but maybe we should just set a rule saying not to use the unlimited rings tricks instead of removing the stages completely. :/
Got another complaint:
Any minigame that's listed for Sonic and Tails in SADX (Sky Chase 1/2, Sand Hill, Ice Cap) is identical as both, as far as I can tell. Therefore there shouldn't be two divisions for each.
[snapback]8300[/snapback]
Because the paths in Sand Hill are different, Sonic can get a higher score than Tails.
Sky Chase must be exactly the same. (Tails is still the playable character in Sonic's version!)
Ice Cap seems to be the same, but I wonder if the control is a bit different.
(It's probably just because they look different, but it feels like Tails is lighter.)
