An example of the live page and what it looks like when a supporter who customized their name is running.
If you want these perks and stand out a bit more, like @huds601.co.uk in this screenshot, please consider becoming a supporter over at therun.gg/support!
In the future, I will add some more cosmetic and quality-of-life supporter-only perks, like customizing your profile, or adding a bit of flair to your favorite games' page.
Stay tuned, and once again, thanks everyone!
As a supporter, you can build your own gradient, add an animation, make your name bold, italic, you name it. Additionally, these customizations will be shown in more detail on the live page, and on the homepage.

We're in the clear! Thanks to overwhelming support, we can now once again pay for server costs, plus build an additional buffer for the future!
As a token of thanks to therun's supporters, I made changes to the supporter perks. You can now fully customize how your name is displayed on the site!
Support has been really overwhelming, to a point where we're well in the clear to pay for everything again. It was a difference of around 90 euros a month. That's more than settled now, so I'll be able to generate some buffers again in the coming year. Will post about this separately later ♥️
And lastly, a HUGE thanks to everyone who has supported the site over the last 4 years. Without you, the site would not have existed in the first place! I appreciate you a ton.
If you find value in the site and are able, please consider supporting via Patreon or direct donation. If you can't donate, a retweet helps more than you know to reach those who can.
Thank you for being part of this journey. I want to keep it going for a long time!
However, supporter count is steadily declining while the site is growing faster than ever (as you can see in the image! 35 million attempts... damn). It’s reached a point where I'm paying out of pocket to keep it online, which isn't sustainable for me long-term.
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 hope these changes incentivize you to watch smaller streamers, and become a smaller streamer yourself. Secondly, you should start realizing that being 40 seconds behind your pb is a GOOD THING.
Thank you for your attention to this matter
Lately I've been noticing that the runs on the frontpage are established runners who are on good pace. Today, this changes.
From now on, the live page will only include players with less than 10 viewers. Also, if you are more than 10 seconds ahead of PB, you are excluded.
If you've had issues where your stream hangs or maybe the upload takes too much of your bandwidth, turn off "Sync on Reset". This will make sure the bandwidth-heavy stuff only happens when you close LiveSplit.
You can turn off the little notification when your stats get synced.

The LiveSplit component has been updated.
- You can now test if your key is working
- Added some handy links, info and tooltips
- You can disable uploading every reset. If disabled, it will upload on closing LiveSplit.
- Small notification when stats sync (can turn this off)
Hope you like it! 🐇

COMING OUT OF LEFT FIELD FOR THE BOUNTY
Hello everyone I made a new topbar and that should make it easier to navigate the site!!! Hope you like it otherwise there's nothing I can do sorry
Find it over at therun.gg/runs
. If filtering/sorting by final run time, it might be needed to set a minimum time, because a lot of people have "fake" finished runs with a minimum time.
A new, great way to manage and remove runs will come in the future.
A screenshot of the new runs tool, which shows an example of what you can filter on.
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!

Showing what the new live page of therun.gg looks like
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:

The new frontpage is almost finished. I'm processing feedback from supporters of the site. Looking forward to sharing the improved home page with you all!
Here's a little preview of one of the panels of the new frontpage

Would a feature like this be fun or predatory? What if it was a weekly streak? Would love your thoughts
BIG things are going to be happening this year
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!!!
ah yes, slightly shaving off some seconds
In total, 32 million attempts are on therun. About 1,4 million of those finished. Of those, 350k were a PB. That means that globally, just over 1% of started attempts become a PB.
This all accounts for about 3,4 MILLION HOURS of attempts
Thank you all for using therun! Huge things are coming soon
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.
Showing me losing a lot of rating due to the new system.
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!
that's okay, it's used to being vandalized by now
