I'll be using RetroUprising, MARP, Retroarcademagazine, aurcade, recordsetter, and any other site that lets me upload my score rather than a site that isn't currently working since October 17th. The only advantage TG has over all these sites is that you can get your name in the Guinness book, and that will go if TG doesn't get the scores they need (300 new records/year) is what I understand.
For 2013, with the downtime and the lack of a website from when it went down, I think that would be quite impressive if they pulled it off...
They are concentrating more and more on live Arcade scores, which means people outside of the USA have to spend at least $1500 to attempt to get a score on an obscure arcade title. Good luck with that.
And I really do hope that Donkey Kong gets maxed out soon, I am sick of hearing about that game on the gaming news sites.
If you have watched the King of Kong, you will eventually realise that every single person on there only specialises on ONE GAME.
Billy Mitchell, Steve Wiebe - Donkey Kong / Donkey Kong Jr
Greg Bond - Mappy
Billy Mitchell - Pac Man
Mark Alpiger - Crystal Castles
Robert Mruczak - Star Wars
They are all (nearly) one game people, too much publicity gets shown for one game, the new TG needs to change this. There are loads of people on here (RU) that play a lot of different games and hold WR's, we need more people that are not a "one trick pony", and that prove themselves on different games, not just one "well known" game.

Well I certainly will agree with you in the fact that Twin Galaxies needs to expand to promote other players other than like for example the ones you listed.
Tom Votava is an excellent player.
Peter Gatland seems to have to excellent scores.
Rodrigo Lopes seems to have his name littered all over the MAME scoreboards.
And Saulo Bastos is pretty excellent as well.
Yet you hardly ever hear anything about these guys in the form of news media.

See normally you just go here.
http://www.facebook.com/twingalaxies
and that should get you to the their facebook page.
but when you try to go there you get his
http://www.facebook.com/home.php
as if their pages doesn't even exist.
Why the heck did they take it down?
Facebook isn't down! There should be no reason why Twin Galaxies has their facebook page down.
