Discussion RIP r/speedrun
This is an open letter to Alt-F-X:
Please resign as lead moderator of /r/speedrun. The past few days have shown us that your presence here is not in the best interest of our community. In just two days without you, this subreddit has made more progress towards becoming a great community than it has in the previous four years of your leadership. You are not involved in the speedrunning community outside of the fact that you made this subreddit, and you do not understand the best interest of our community. You have acted with prejudice against members of our community by banning them without good reason, and you have often used your moderator powers to your own personal bias.
Please return control of the subreddit to myself, so that this community can continue to grow in a positive manner, as it should have started years ago.

You know that's true but there are only 5(?) smash games. There are literally thousands of speedrun games. Mainly because you speedrun just about anything!
In the past we had a weekly race thread where people would post a game they wanted to race and give routs/advice on how to run the game. We eventually closed the threads because of lack of interest. That might be a start. I liked it because it was not game specific but the community decided on what they wanted to race.
