| On August 17, 2008, Jimbo had finally achieved the [[world record]] of 0:16 on [[Archives]] A after many hours of playing in Bumpass VA. Most, if not everyone at the meet had seen Jimbo play and fail a few 0:16s prior to the completed run that night. Jimbo knowingly played without taping, as most were convinced that this world record would not require video proof is a proof moderator was present. When 0:16 occured, many were watching (including [[Jon Barber]]) and had verified that the run was legit and met all elite requirements. (no cheating devices, no cheats, etc). Many of the attendees of Jimbo's session were world-known players such as [[Patrik Nilsson]], [[Eddie Lovins]], [[Jon Barber]], [[Josh Layne]] etc. When the news had gotten to the [[Goldeneye]] rankings moderators that 0:16 was not captured on tape, a split was created between the moderators (such as [[Henning Blom]], and [[Wouter Jansen]]) vs the rest of the elite who believed 0:16 was fine as-is, or were OK with picture proof that was provided by Jimbo. (2 images exist, one of flash ON, and one of flash OFF to show the player surroundings). 0:16 was ultimately accepted, but only for a short period, as Jimbo failed to provide a taped 0:16 within the month it was shown on the rankings; resulting in his Archives A time to be back-rolled to 0:17. | | On August 17, 2008, Jimbo had finally achieved the [[world record]] of 0:16 on [[Archives]] A after many hours of playing in Bumpass VA.

− | On December 15, 2008, Jim's 0:16 was finally added to the [http://rankings.the-elite.net/goldeneye Goldeneye Elite rankings] after [[Jon Barber]] made the final decision as administrator to allow the time. The addition of the time has split the community, and as a result, former updater [[Wouter Jansen]] resigned as rankings updater in favor of Tyler "[[Thiradell]]" Wishall, and later [[Axel Zakrisson]] before [[Ryan Dwyer]] launched the new, automatically updated ranking system. | + | On December 15, 2008, Jim's 0:16 was finally added to the [http://rankings.the-elite.net/goldeneye Goldeneye Elite rankings] after [[Jon Barber]] made the final decision as administrator to allow the time.
