Random Cubing Discussion

So um...does anyone think the How many cubers have already achieved sub10? thread needs a newer version? I mean the old thread is not maintained anymore, plus we got way too many sub-10 or sub-9 cubers nowadays. What about "how many cubers have achieved sub-7, 7.5, 8, respectively in a100?" This is a better indicator and keeps the size reasonable. Anyone in favor of this? :)

Fun Fact: Did you know that Sarah Strong has 502 DNFs? Including results + DNF averages, but not best times.

Another Fun Fact: Sarah can't do it anymore because of the regulations.

Or what, they'll DNF her?!?!

She'll be fine, she's part of the organising team, and her DNFing solves is made up for by her judging/running/scrambling etc, and the regulation talks about "delegate's discretion". She's not really​ doing it maliciously.

As far as people who have both a high number of posts and a high number of posts per day, I think TDM is a pretty safe bet as #1.

5550 posts / 830 days = 6.7 posts per day for two years and three months...

I average 12 on 3x3 and 1minute on 4x4 and 2 min 50 secs for 5x5 I really suck at big cubes right?

I guess compared to your 3x3 speed, your 5x5 could be called slow, but it really depends how much you practice each one. I personally also find that the bigger the cube, the more difficult it is for me to handle. I average low 17s for 3x3 and sub-2:30 for 5x5, but my 6x6 average is around 6:30, because I can't control turning it without popping or locking up.

So this is something which I think deserves more defining, terminology improvements and Acronyms.
So I myself use cross and F2L and sometimes VHLS, but I am currently learning full ZBLL. When I complete this fate worse than death (assuming it actually doesn't cause death ;p ), I will find myself wondering what to call this method.
Will It be CFVZ? cross, f2l, vhls. ZBLL? but sometimes VHLS isn't necessary because the normal f2l inserts also orients the edges sometimes. and CFV/CFVS sounds terrible (method names should sound cool)
Or Should It get a entire new name? as this 'method' is a long way from fridrich but a long way from ZZ. So what do you guys think this method should be called?

Its just a CFOP variant I guess. You are inspiring me to learn ZBLL!
 
The 1LLL subset where corners are oriented but not edges (aka the 4flip and the 2 2flip OLLs) should be called ELLCP.
