    Do new cubes threaten the availability of older, less popular cubes?

    This might be a bit paranoid of me to think this, but with the YueXaio receiving such a positive response I'm worried that my main (TangLong) may at some point be discontinued, meaning that if mine breaks I won't be able to get a new one. Is my concern justified or am I worrying too much?

    South Central USA cubers

    I see that there is a thread for Louisiana cubers but I think a thread for all 4 South central states (Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas) might be more useful.

    What's the origin of this meme?

    "A3b1: When the judge believes the competitor is ready, the judge asks, READY?'" I see it all the time in cf but I have no idea what it means

    Is the YouTube cubing scene dying?

    All of the channels that I can think of (at least the big ones) don't seem to upload nearly as often as they used to. When a new puzzle comes out, I feel like it's much harder to find an unboxing of first impressions video than it used to be.

    Is cubing sexy?

    Personally, I tend to think it is. Cubers have to be patient, which to me is a very attractive quality in a man. But even more than that, cubers have a sense of humor- we kind of have to because our hobby is literally solving the same puzzle over and over, which is a lot less fun when you...

    What's the best "leisure cube" in your opinion?

    When you don't want to speedsolve, what cube do you use? I use a Zhanchi because my mom gave it to me so it's my main for non-speedsolves

    Worst 3x3 Tutorial Ever

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycg989igxvA Oh.My.God. This guy is the classic snake oil salesman. I refuse to believe that he actually thinks that his 30 second method is the best in the world because he placed 2nd in a competition in the 80's.

    What convinced Rubik's brand to try to get speedcubers back?

    For a long time, Rubik's brand has antagonized speedcubers. But just a year ago, they decided to change that in a big way by entering the speedcube market. Their first speedcube isn't perfect but it's certainly a great product and it is perfect for many cubers. The transition from...

    Sleep schedules- What's yours?

    I love staying up late but I have classes in the morning so I'm thinking of adding a 3 hour or so nap in the middle of the day to my schedule. Does anyone else do this? If you don't, what's your sleep schedule?

    Is MoYu the Beats by Dre of cubing?

    Their 5x5 through 7x7 cubes are marginally, if at all, better than ShengShou's. But to justify such a huge price gap, there also has to be a big quality gap- and there isn't. MoYu's big cubes have big issues, meaning that they aren't worth paying 2 to three times as much as for ShengShou cubes...

    What's your accent?

    I think it would be fun to share what type of accents we have. I personally have a neutral American accent fused with a Minnesota accent and a slight Southern accent (in Arkansas, most people have Southern accents so I think I got some of it from them). In my videos, however, my speech is a...

    Would anyone like to see a documentary about how MoYu took over speed cubing?

    I've been thinking that my Youtube channel is kinda boring and it needs something different.

    The friendship thread

    This thread is an attempt by me to both 1) Make friends in the cubing community and 2) encourage people to have conversations with those who they usually wouldn't. In this thread, I challenge you to have a conversation with people who you've never talked to much before or aren't really friends...

    Which cube revolutionized speedcubing the most?

    I haven't been a cuber for that long but it sounds like I didn't miss much because the GuHong was the first truly "good" speedcube. Is that accurate or am I overestimating the GuHong's influence? If I am, what speedcube changed the industry the most?
