The old thread seemed rather odd, and the title seemed rather odd so I made a new thread... I've been working hard on a new version, but I haven't quite finished...

This thread will cover mostly 3x3, but expect to see some 2x2, Pyraminx, Megaminx, and Square-1. I may possibly in the future do some of the larger cubes.

Tutorials of various methods will be listed under the Youtube section under the username of the video's creator.

Videos under Youtube users COMING SOON!

If you have any links to suggest, just send me a holler.

I actually promise that I'll work on this more often, but for now all I have is the Fridrich and Youtube section.

What about ZZ?

 

[IamWEB]

What about ZZ?

It's a work in progress.

 

[SaberSlash49]

What about ZZ?

ZZ? I'm still learning the difference between F2LL, ZB, and ZBLL so I'll get some others up in due time. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about the other methods and just general stuff about various methods and steps before I put stuff up.

 

[Edward]

Cube maintenance can go in the misc section right?

 

[SaberSlash49]

Maintenance? That will be in the Hardware section which I haven't put up yet.. Thanks for reminding me.

Alright, I'll do a bit more editing and then I'll call it quits for the night.

 

[guitardude7241]

they make a wiki for this, don't you know?

 

[SaberSlash49]

Yeah, but if they don't know about the wiki, it's helpful to have one on the forums, and it might be more convenient since wiki sprawls across several pages.

 

[Edward]

If,for example, I made a good video on cleaning out cubes, or reducing lockups or something, and sent it to you, would you put it in?

 

[guitardude7241]

Yeah, but if they don't know about the wiki, it's helpful to have one on the forums, and it might be more convenient since wiki sprawls across several pages.

a link to the wiki is on the top bar. everything's already in the wiki. this is just hard work for you, and it's pointless.

I like the idea. not many new members want to sift through the wiki. why would they when they can just come to this thread and scroll down.

it's this easy.

look for a few seconds, find wiki on the top bar, in gray.

you see all this. you click on any one of those, and you've got what you need. there's a wiki for a reason.

i've tried making a list like this before, of the methods and the links to help you with those methods. the wiki is lots easier.

THAT'S PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING, DON'T YOU THINK? :fp

 

[Edward]

O_o I stand corrected.

 

[guitardude7241]

O_o I stand corrected.

i wasn't trying to sound like a beeotch or anything, but i know my stuff when i try to correct something. the wiki is easier, i don't care what anybody says.
