I have been playing wipeout HD Fury for years and when i got a ps5 earlier this year, i got the omega collection soon after to see how good my times were compared to the leaderboards. Turns out most my times are comparable to around 50th. But when looking at old videos and seeing this speedrun.com page i still wonder, is there any active hub for the wipeout community to talk that is still active? WipeoutZone seems dead, atleast i cant join it and i am not aware of a discord server or something. Let me know if im missing something.
WipeoutZone is pretty much gone for right now, from what I remember the admin running the site has been busy and shut down new members registering due to a lot of bot influx and before that the site was hacked. I saw that the admin was planning on fixing everything and getting the site up and running but has been too busy to do so. The only hubs I know where people are active are few discord servers that are up and a website. One of the discord servers is the r/Wipeout server for general things wipeout and other similar games and the other is the wipeout speedruns discord that is linked on a few of the games leaderboards. The website is wipeoutrankings.com I know a few runners like Foden and Ewito do runs over there frequently. Other then those I don't know of any other hubs that are currently active for wipeout.
Theres also a discord server where its still... Active? It's not the most active but it's there :) https://discord.gg/KGXRnsHK
