this thread is a lie. ktwo's runs were never removed!!
actually, he chose to resubmit them, so they are back up. By they, I mean Addams Family NES, Journey To Silius, and Power Blade. Enjoy.
cobra triangle and solomon's key were not reposted, as both have since been obsoleted. The verification thread for the new cobra triangle run is around somewhere, and that should be on the front page soon. The new solomon's key run(s) are in verification, so assuming they pass, you'll have things to look forward to. It's been indicated to us that we shouldn't bother reposting the existing runs in the meantime, but if you'd like to watch them (they are, after all, good runs), they are and will forever be available on archive.org.
I would also like to take this opportunity to announce a change in policy. SDA will no longer remove runs at request, at least not without a reason we agree with (cheating, etc). We haven't yet decided on exactly what legalese we want to use to indicate this (we will eventually put it on the submit page), but the gist of it is that when you submit to us, we get a permanent, irrevocable license to host it. Events in the time since the original posting of this thread have convinced us that this is necessary.
I don't really want to go into more detail, but if this seems heavy-handed to you, remember that SDA has never advertised that we would remove runs at request as a condition of submission. It's not something we've ever promised runners, and we've never been under any sort of obligation to do it. We basically did it for ktwo as a favor, but there were other run removal requests after his. One of those turned out much less amicably, such that we feel we have to be explicit about it. And here we are.
but stupid stuff like that isn't what speedrunning's about. let's welcome ktwo back to the site.

Isn't that unnecessary? how many runs have you lost due to people wanting to remove their runs...
