I'd solve on my commute, but I need both hands on the steering wheel of the car.
Same thing here! I often practice skewb or 3x3 on the train where I live, so I will often get reactions from people. I don’t solve fast at all, maybe around 27 secs, but people are often still amazed.
True, a lot of the community shifted to other channels, but around 800 people a day are still visiting here, so that can't be the only reason.
800?! It seems like 50 tbh.
Hah! Just 4? I visit it about 12 times a day!
Yeah, it would be nice to see the WR blow up more. Maybe we are getting used too the same people break the records.
It's a good question - not sure. But they aren't anymore likely to comment on a WR than someone new to speedcubing - so that wouldn't explain the drop either.
Well, I did notice Jack Cai (Altha on these forums, I think) post on the WR page for his record, so...
From older things such as cubecast, old posts etc. it's the fast people congratulating the people who are challenging them, or the experienced people. I haven't seen someone such as chris hardwick or stefan pochmann on here since I've been a member, and I very rarely have proper conversations with people here.
I consider myself as being somewhat inexperienced, and I think I could have a discussion here about pretty much anything with anybody. It’s just about being open to learning every day, and I learn very quickly.
Me! I was mostly gone for about 2 years (2015-2017), but came back a couple of years ago. Good to see you back, Stachu!
Welcome back Stachu, it's been awhile. It's a whole new generation here - much of the community has spread across social media. Are you getting back into cubing?
It's a bit strange how interest in hobbies work. I go through months of intense interest, and then months of little interest. And this cycle has continued for years. It seems to be the same amongst a lot of people.
