I actually thought about this before myself some years ago, but now that it's a vastly bigger and less centrally organised scene, the time seems right. Thanks in no small part to the explosion of popularity for *GDQ and the like, it'd be hard to argue that there isn't at least some entry-level common knowledge of speedrunning and its aims among most gamers nowadays - and, what better site to house them than this one? It'd be excellent to have a place to discuss speedrunning, especially for games for which there is little to no speedrunning community already available on the Internet (and it could therefore be found or created here).

One little suggestion however: Incorporate TAS videos into this subforum, clearly marked and distinguished in thread info. I'm not sure if you've already intended this or what, but I'd definitely recommend it.
