Publications no longer on hold
posted by fsvgm777 on 10/20/2024 8:27 PM
While Archive is still down, we have decided to resume publications. As a temporary measure, we will be publishing without a downloadable encode that's available on Archive until it's back up.
As soon as Archive is back in full working condition, the downloadables will be uploaded there and linked post-publication.
Publications Currently on Hold

You may be aware there's been a lull in publications over the past few days, and unfortunately that's going to continue for the time being. We rely on the Internet Archive as our repository for publication encodes, and it's currently down after the recent data breach and DDoS attacks. As such, we're unable to publish anything until it's back up and stable again. The situation has also notably impacted judging as well, meaning it will also take longer to judge runs.
Hopefully this should all be resolved soon. We'll give an update as soon as we're ready to start working normally again.
Just so this post isn't all doom and gloom, here's a nice light note to end on: TASBot and TASVideos recently presented a block of TASes at Disaster Relief Done Quick 2024! The VOD, featuring brand new live commentary for our currently published runs of Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Castlevania, and Donkey Kong Country, as well as premiering a brand new run of Gimmick!, is available to watch below:

Also, if you want something to tide you over until publications resume, I'd highly recommend reading our previous news post, which is so long that we'll most likely be publishing again by the time you're done.
