Zeroing (November 2010)
Supposedly Feliks Zemdegs's secret method, zeroing is a hoax started by the following post by Anthony Brooks on the Speedsolving Forums: post: "Feliks got the nickname Faz because of the method he uses actually. FAZ stands for F2L After Zeroing. What's "zeroing" you might ask? Only Faz knows at this point. It's apparently his secret weapon, but he won't share. :-("

Alot Profile Picture Takeover (November 2010)
An Alot is an "imaginary creature that kind of looks like a cross between a bear, a yak and a pug" introduced in the blog Hyperbole and a Half's page on Alot.
On November 22, 2010, user TheRubiksGod created the thread "I Will Make Your Avatar :D" on the Speedsolving Forums. Prompted by Lucas Garron's reply linking Hyperbole and a Half, the thread turned into a request for Alot of ___ avatars. Many of these were made by Shelley Chang. Within a week, many prominent users on Speedsolving had changed their profile to some type of Alot.
