Hello, on June 6 2022 a news post was made about old patch being archived and merging the old patch and Steam/JP versions. However it seems old patch runs are still being verified (one run verified 14 days ago). Is this plan effectively scrapped?

I wasn't there for any of it but what I've gathered from reading old messages is speedrun.com got to a point of being especially irritating to work with as a game moderator (I sort of recall this update being really annoying and I think they fixed some stuff since then but idk) that they were preparing to jump ship to a google sheet. A lot of progress was made on that but I think it was actually merging the categories into one Any% board that created a roadblock, apparently some runs had to be resubmitted after a failed attempt at changing the boards and it seems it ended up being dropped altogether. I only just recently got added as a mod which I wasn't even expecting but gladly accepted so now I'm essentially the only mod who still engages with the game outside of verifying runs. I've got some ideas for cleaning things up a little more but I'd still want to run these things by the few runners who still talk in the Discord occasionally, at the same time though I'm so new to the scene that I don't want to be too pushy so there's still a bit that hasn't left the idea phase. Sorry I took so long to reply, I wanted to have more to offer than "idk lol"
