As far as I can tell, this part of the terms apply. It says you're not allowed to access the service if you're building something that competes or offers features that are "substantially similar" to anything Elo builds. Again, not a lawyer though :D but it reads like it.

therun.gg @therun.gg · 02/10/2026

Using SRC to build anything with "substantially similar" features is banned. Leaderboard, run tracking, runner profile, you name it. Basically every speedrun tool is banned from using SRC data. They don't even allow you to copy runs manually to those tools anymore????

Donations now count as "commercial". You use ko-fi to support your discord bot servers? Can't use SRC data. Stats site with Patreon? (me lol) can't use it. Even charity marathons can't use SRC data anymore without explicit permission of Elo, their parent company.

A year after Elo acquired src, they changed their terms to do exactly this: remove Creative Commons. After community pushback, they put it back stating "no interest in restricting access to any runs" Now, 5 years later, the licence is gone again, and src act like it's no biggie

Screenshot of SRC status they have no interest in restricting access to any runs or community resources.

SRC changed their terms of use yesterday, and released a news post with an FAQ. They make it sound like not a big deal. It's a big deal. The Creative Commons licence is gone. They claim ownership over the data now. Thread about what this means, and what we can do about it 🧵

On therun's leaderboards, the default landing page lets you see an overview of all categories. This is also available for IL's and Category Extensions. This is configurable per game. You can also choose have users land directly on the first leaderboard. pretty cool no?

therun.gg @therun.gg · 29/09/2026

Leaderboards have a ton of tools to make moderating boards easier Here's the built-in retime tool: frame skip to the start frame, press start, automatically skip to the end, press end, and record time. Doesn't have to be hard! Works for both twitch and youtube VODs

For the last 2 years I've been building leaderboards on therun. Today, they go in beta. I'm looking for communities to test them out. Not to switch over, purely for testing. Import your board from SRC easily, poke around, give me thoughts. Contact me here or through discord to test stuff!

The fourth tab contains stories. This is a human readable format of some of the interesting facts about the current split, the previous split, about the runner in general, and about the run in general.

130

therun.gg @therun.gg · 08/05/2026

The third, "Prediction", contains predictions for the current split, for the total run, and a history of predictions for this run. Let me know if it's accurate and see if you can beat my predictions bitch

110

therun.gg @therun.gg · 08/05/2026

The panel you see consists of five tabs. The first, "Split", has all the info about the current split. Times for the segment (PB, Best Possible), a prediction for the segment etc. It has the reset rate and info about the previous 20 times this split was completed.

110

therun.gg @therun.gg · 08/05/2026

I created the ultimate pace pal tool When going to the /live page, every run now has a big green button on the top right called "Commentary". This opens a panel with all info about the run you're watching that you need. Small thread below to explain all the things it does :)

Hey everyone, I need some help. If possible, please share this. Running therun dot gee gee has been an amazing passion project for 4 years. It’s always been 100% free, ad-free, and I never sell your data. I love building new features for this community and I have so many more ideas to grow the site

I have added a tool called the Runs Explorer. It allows you to find any finished runs on the site. You can filter by game, category, user, date, final time (RTA and IGT), or to only show PB's For example: here are all 35 runs in TCS Any% with a time of under 2:20! Link below👇

After launching the new front page, the rest of the site is now touched up and converted to the new house style! Gold, green and red, just like your runs. Check out the new live page, for example:

Would a feature like this be fun or predatory? What if it was a weekly streak? Would love your thoughts

Amazing news! @cryze92.bsky.social, who is a big part of the team over at LiveSplit, has built integration to therun from LiveSplit One. That means you can now get live stats and therun integrations right from your browser. CryZe created the video below. Everyone say thanks to CryZe!!!

Here's some cool stats about the current state of the data on the site: Mario 64 is about to hit 5 million attempts processed by therun. At the same time, Mario Odyssey is getting very close to 1 million attempts.

Racers, I made some changes to ratings: 1) Your first few races in a category, you will gain/lose more rating than before. This effect diminishes after doing more races. 2) When you finish close to someone, you will lose less rating than before. Thanks for racing, hope you like these changes!

Showing me losing a lot of rating due to the new system.

I've added some sort and filter options on the live page. You can now filter if someone is streaming, currently on a run, and currently on PB pace. You can sort by things like run length, name, game, or how far a runner is ahead of their PB. Have fun watching!

Here's some research. I looked at how long it took for people to get a PB after joining our Patreon. - For patrons, 88% got a PB within 2 weeks. - For non-patrons: 0%. NONE of them got a PB within 2 weeks of supporting. even made a graph to prove it GO TO patreon.com/therungg FOR FREE PB QUICK!!!

Hmmm, you definitely are. In the settings, it looks like "Show me on the Support page" is turned off... In my logs I can see this was done on April 2nd this year. Not sure if that was a mistake or something wonky on my end. Feel free to switch it back, of course!
