Twenty years ago, no one would have foreseen the current state of speedrunning becoming such a special profession or hobby for so many people, and so the decisions made by communities and community members along the way were often those of naive innocence or inexperience. In this fireside chat, I tell a (not so) brief history of different occasions people have cheated or faked speedruns at the-elite.net, the consequences, and how the-elite reformed to make it out of it all as one of the cleanest speedrun communities.

I had only planned on talking for about 20 minutes, but the mood by the fire was so cozy that 50 minutes felt like 20. I hope to do another fireside chat or two very soon!
