I'm Back!

[maxcube]

Hey!

My name is Max, I'm 16, and I have been cubing for about 4 years now. For the past 2 years I have lost interest in cubing in general, but I'm looking to start enjoying it again! I want to become part of this great community.
Even though I haven't been trying to improve myself, I still cube occasionally. I have managed to keep a sub20 average.

Could somepony

inform me of what's happened in the past 2 years?

Nah, that's just one of the symptoms of its slow demise. As websites tend to do, it's been getting worse. For a lot longer than ponies have been around.

Besides, there's nothing wrong with ponies.

Dayan cubes are now the best 3x3,
v-cube have a 3x3 (not that great)
sheng shou have a cubic 8x8 and 7x7
Feliks has the world record of 5.66 seconds

pretty much all i'm going to say. So welcome back.

 

[maxcube]

Wow very quick replies! Thanks everyone.

Everything you'd expect to hear after a long break. New cubes, new records, new trends, etc. I'd suggest checking out any new stickies and the top threads in the sections

Welcome back.
What others have said. Also the Roux method is gaining a lot of popularity (with a couple of people being sub-10 with it).

uhm, what?

as someone who's been around for a while, I wouldn't say it's been getting worse at all.
