Dakou times and non-dakou times.

Dave, is it possible to create a dakou and non-dakou times page. I noticed that a lot of people are either for or against this technique, and have no chaging of minds. I plan on using 2 memory cards and having a dakou game and a non-dakou game, but I want to submit both times sets. I realize this will create sort of a problem with the Universal rankings, but with every problem there is an answer.

If my memory serves me right, Dave has already said that this would not happen. I believe he compared it to having split rankings for sliding and non-sliding in FZX, which he does not do.
Personally, I am against Dakou, and am only using it so I will not be at a disadvantage in the competition (this may change). What I am most likely going to do is use two memory cards, post my Dakou times on this site, and post my non-Dakou times on Sugi's site.
However, I have not played the game yet, so my views on Dakou may change (in either direction) once I have seen it firsthand.

That would be a lot of extra work for poor Dave.
Maybe he could introduce some sort of colour scheme in the rankings where non-dakou times are black and dakou times are in red for instance. That way you could quickly glance the rankings and disregard the times that you don't want to take into account.

There's no promises here, but maybe, just maybe, I'll start a website exclusivly for dakou times. Dave could put a link to it, and it would be just a site like the rankings page with the records for the tracks, players, etc. I need to learn a little more HTML and find some time, and it wouldn't be as nice looking as Dave's, but I think I could do it. Would anyone be interested in me doing something like this? I would probably only update once every two weeks because I'm in school and need to do that, and go out and skateboard and stuff, but I think I could do it. Anyone interested please post here and say it's a good idea. Also, none of the times would count for the Universal rankings, but it would be nice to know how your dakou times rated agianst others. Also to Dave, would this be okay? I think if I did it I would want a link to the page on the GX ranking area with near the staff ghosts link and stuff. Any input is apperciated, and if I did it, I would like some help with the time listings and such.

What I really, really wish, is that a new technique was found, something that would make dakou useless. But if DVM hasn't found anything (and according to what I've heard, JKT-style dives aren't possible), then what are the chances?

Alright, either not many people care, or no one really viewed the topic, but if you would like me to create a page stricly for rankings of dakou times that do not count in the Universal competition, then either please post "thats a great idea", or if you don't like my idea, put "no, that's a horrible idea." I realize that we already have some dakou times on the site, but looking through the posts about dakou in the GX competition, I see many people would like to do it for fun, but not for their fzerocentral times because it is considered sort of a cheat. Anyway, I would like to help you guys by providing you with a site to compare your dakou times, and the the dakou protesters that hate it can simply just not participate. This would also keep fzerocentral dakou free, which sounds like a lot of people want it to be, but it won't unless they convince Dave to make it that way. Also, this helps the people who want to submit non-dakou times to Sugi's site but can't read Japenese (like me).
