Finlandi mean hunie pop 1 and 2 are on the website. as long as nothing nsfw is shown there is probably no problems.
submit the game, explain the situation and theyll accept it or deny it. doesnt hurt to try.
quite the situation. i dont really know how you could get the nso/n64 split.
you can really satisfy everyone and this site isnt perfect for every game so all i can really think you can do is give in and make the platform split or own it and not do it for the sake of the boards itself and tell runners to use the website's own platform filtering if they want to compare only to n64.
Sorry, I can't quite make out what you are trying to say. It sounds like either you think I run VidGuard (I don't) or you are proposing I bootstrap my own video hosting site (I have no income to risk on such a venture at the moment, even if there is a chance I could get lucky enough to sustain myself on donations, like I said, very few manage that).
youre the one who suddenly started saying how not everyone can get ads on their sites so i replied to that :D?
In addition to what @unfound said (and I'll add, Google Drive has storage limits), and what I have also said above (I suppose you are counting that a "being the most well known video hosting site"), there is also the fact that dealing with Google for support with any issues you might encounter is a nightmare
google drive is a file hosting cloud service not a video host, though it is fine for submissions (just potentially annoying for the verifier and you need to speficially make the file accessible for everyone and it also reveals your email address to everyone). unless you are a big creator trying to make money off of your videos you dont have to ever deal with google's support.
i dont know how it works to get ads on your website. cant you just submit your site to google adsense thingie and theyll look it over and then you can place ads on your site if they accept it.
depending on what your site is offering you could pay a bunch of the costs with donations. like catbox (anonymous file hosting website) gets their monthly fees almost fully paid with patreon subscriptions. their site claims patreon alone has paid 1300$ of this months fees.
but that is very broad brush to paint every site with
i did say "usually" not "every time".
I'm just using VidGuard because they impose neither storage limits nor remove idle videos
if thats your concern then youtube also doesnt do either of those? the only limit is 12 hours at max on a video but likely wont ever be a problem.
it just sounds like you dont want to upload to youtube because its the most well known video hosting site. which sure i guess is a reason but at this point where you are having troubles without it, you should just use it until you find a good alternative for you.
i do not know what you mean.
that could be an external component or it could just be that someone manually made a comparison (in edit splits), ive done that.
the problem is that its very intrusive and usually malicious websites have ads like that. so the moment you click and something pops up unexpectedly you likely think its a virus or something and close everything down.
just upload to youtube, there is no reason not to.
are you requesting someone to run this game or do you want the game to the site?
if the latter then check https://www.speedrun.com/support
in edit splits you can set the "start time" to anything you want like 8:00:00.00 for 8 hours. it can even be negative if you want it to count down
i assume the timestamp comes from either the date submited or date verified as those have datetime instead of just a date.
but yeah wrs on the sameday will be tricky unless you manually get the precise datetime for when the runs were done. you cant even really assume that the slower run of the two wrs on one day was done first. it could be that someone got a lets say a 21 minute time but hadnt submited it yet and the other one got a 22 thinking its a wr as it is faster than the fastest on the leaderboard.
i vaguely remember this guy spamming the forums, making new accounts after he got banned just to spam more.
