This page needs something about Metroid2002, since it's very closely involved with SDA. I just can't figure out a good way to word it. /KennyMan666 21:06, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Speed Demos Archive. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Corrected formatting/usage for https://www.humblebundle.com/sgdq

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

This message was posted before February 2018. After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 5 June 2024).

• If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.
• If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with this tool.

Hai I just stumbled across this wiki from the GDQ wiki and I realized one of the wikis are kinda wrong. I say this because Games Done Quick is no longer Organized by SDA so saying that they have hosted 13 marathons isn't correct. If I'm incorrect please ping me so we can talk about it, if I don't get a response I'll make the edits myself and I will try to be as accurate as possible Zebrazach20062 (talk) 00:15, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Cygnus718: I'm going to update the page to reflect when GDQ LLC. took over Games Done Quick the moment I can pin a source down I just wanted to tell you this :P Zebrazach20062 (talk) 23:50, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the article, the archive's status should be "Active" - but that cannot reflect the real situation! At least not in adding more games or current titles.
Looking at their game list, sorted by realease date (of the games; there is nothing similar for the speed runs themselves), the last game introduced stems from 2019! It is also the only one of that year (also only one of 2018).
It shows clearly that the archive's content is static for multiple years now. --- This should be reflected in the Wikipedia-article!--185.9.225.234 (talk) 04:40, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The release date of the most recent game that has a run up on the site is not a good metric for its activity. Just look at the front page, won't you :P 91.154.193.15 (talk) 15:15, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
