Hey all. I was an active member here about a decade ago, when the first episodes of CubeCast came out. I just found them on an old hard drive and checked online to see if they were out there. I didn't see them, so I figured some of you might like a glimpse into the days when WCA had only 10,000...
Wow, I didn't look ahead to the end of the solve and that LL skip really came up on me out of nowhere. That's insanely lucky to get that in a competition!
I'm also having problems with contacting them. I received the wrong version of the Gans 356S in a January order, and before the beginning of February I contacted them about returning it and getting the correct version. I have sent emails / contact tickets each week for the past 5 weeks and...

I'm...
