Though I wish they finally upgraded their website. There are many features (such as for example being able to sort the game list by submission date) that have been promised for at least 5 years, yet the site is still nearly identical, with no further development for usability features. I really can't understand why there seems to be little to no development.

At first it kinda died as the guy working on it stopped. But others have started the project (over?) and stuff has been happening in the last year.
Many things behind the "scenes" have been updated a lot, like the submission system etc, the submission system is working much better although there are still possible improvements. There also seems to be a bot-user in progress (SDAverification) (I am not sure if it is an actual bot, but it's purpose seem to be similar to TASVideosAgent).
Currently it seems like most of the time have been spent handling the marathon stuff. But the migration is happening, just at a slow pace.

To answer the original question: TASvideos does not hate SDA as a community, but I cannot speak for individuals. SDA members has helped TASers with their projects, knowingly or not, and vice versa. In a way the communities need each other to some degree.
there was ONCE UPON A TIME LIKE XXXXX YEARS AGO : nate, (old ?) sda admin
was running metroid2002 ( best metroid site i ever knew and basicaly the gateway to SDA / bisqwit.iki.fi to/tasvideos for me ) ...
i'm trying to remember as much as i can so voila :
nate wasn't tooooo fond of TASES at the times ( because they kept being associated with non TAS speedruns, the community was really small and the trend relatively new...) as it kinda "killed" the legitimity ( the famous LOL CHEAT CHEAT STATE SAVE!!!!11!!11) of the speedruning comunity
i think that it's the origin of the "NO CHEATED" banner on SDA runs
the problem is : bioSpark made a TAS for metroid fusion (or was it the Sesshoumaru's 1 %, or was it even zero mission ) that showcased the tas for the Site. the thing was that to separate the non tas from the tases nate edited the short intro of the runs with a big red CHEATED tag.
the words where cconssidered by somes a bit "too strong" and E-shitstorm issued....
anyway that was likes AGES ago and i just checked the site :
1 - it's still alive and kikin' <GG nate
2 - the videos where corrected and now they are "technical demos"
correct me if i'm wrong but that's also why we have our own intro now....

There will not be any war between TASvideos and SDA.
Instead some TASers are speedrunners on SDA and most runs on SDA studies TAS and uses the trick from TASes.
Those comments on youtube are probably under-knowledge.

I thought it was a troll.
I am not a troll. I am the Prince of Ocean.
I only say there will be a war between TAS and SDA over Quake because, SDA started with Quake and beating them, will be a sign that TAS has over taken the gods of SDA.
Also, I have no hate towards SDA.
When TAS does Quake 1, SDA will declare war.
The Prince doth arrive he doth please.
