Does anybody know if this version was intended to be just a demo/playable teaser for the actual flash version, or the latter was a separate idea? I can only find "play online" kinds of links on google instead of useful information.

Should I only judge it or only publish it? I can't do both.

To a layperson like me it looks like dedicated team chats should use Discord, while the general and random chat for the whole site is better as IRC. Sharing files, voice talks - all that stuff is handy when the team has a goal. General purpose occasional mumbling feels more comfortable on IRC.

Man... TASBot is officially complete rocket science now!

This is thanks to Windows working so amazingly compatible between versions. Same story as with markers/branches/inputroll separator control.

Try abstracting from it being absurdly fast. What else does that run have that makes you want to watch it over and over? So far, my opinion on it is kinda close to what it was on Kiwi.

Уже и сам не помню, вроде все, что я хотел, перевели, фигачь рандомно.

Which glitches does it skip exactly? And if there's a bunch of them, are they actually all possible glitches for this game? Because if it only skips some, it can't be glitchless. And if it skips some that are really common in this game, it can in the end become "no X glitch".

You can replay/record movies by pressing the corresponding hotkeys (Control+R and Control+N by default). There are also hotkeys for stopping a movie (Control+T by default) and for playing the active movie from the beginning (Shift+R by default).
You can toggle movie read-only/read+write mode (Control+Q by default).
You can use RAM Search and RAM Watch by pressing the corresponding hotkeys (Control+F and Control+W by default).
You can open the Lua console by pressing the corresponding hotkeys (Control+L by default) or with the command line parameter "-lua" (example: mame.exe cninja -lua example.lua).
AVI (uncomressed) can be recorded from the movie using the command: mame-rr romname -pb moviename.mar -aviwrite aviname.avi. To stop recording, just close the emulator.
If movie recording was started while paused, the replay dialog should also be opened while paused.
If the state was saved while paused, it should also be loaded while paused.
What's new
read-only switch
movie header now stores framerate (as it should be parsed too for tasvideos submissions to provide proper movie time), the header changed a bit
movie replay dialog shows new contents (rom name, emulator version, framerate)
HUD shows more info relevant to tasing (recording/paused/fastforwarding, number of frames, total frames)

Everything work for me in both.

How is TASSSSSSSStudio even related?

Okay, bottomline.
If you want this discussion, make a thread. But even if most of us dislike the filtered encodes, we still have the original ones on TVC, and let the authors apply some variety of filters as long as their encodes are still of high enough quality.
I'm speaking as a senior publisher here.
If you want to suggest smart ways to handle the situation, go ahead, just try to take both positions into account.

Such a tool doesn't exist yet. Gnash is shit, and flashplayer doesn't run in hourglass.

Because it's just a fork aiming to add a single feature, basically a proof of concept. If it is able to run games and let people tas them, we could think of porting the diff over to newer versions.
All I know is that right now, mame uses visual studio project generator and also modern C++ features, so it might be incompatible with dinosaurs like my computer, but I never tested. Still, reimplementing is harder than occasional hacking.
EDIT:
MAME AVI dumper creates uncompressed video, but due to not using VFW, it is seeking and playing perfectly, and the total size is still not so insane after all, since it's not what people were used to back in the days of fraps: it's still lowres 2D. I mean, I can attach a VFW dumper, or probably figure out how to dump with zlib compression internally like lsnes does, but... is it really worth the trouble?
32k frames of btoads running with no user input (just showing internal demos) give me a 10GB file. Which plays and seeks perfectly.
And this seems to be the first ever finished mame-rr tas (by £e Nécroyeur):

He reports the savestates and the read-only switch work perfectly.

The real name of this game seems to be the same phrase repeated twice, using two languages - Chippoke Ralph no Daibōken: The Adventure of Little Ralph, so I believe the second part can be omitted, as the game is still Japanese only. Thoughts?

2: Drop frames to fit the timing of the game and audio, meaning it will drop one frame every ~10 seconds but doesn't change the audio or length of the movie:
Language: avisynth
ChangeFPS(60)
Will that be any better than what youtube will do?
Also, for downloadables, we're not changing the framerate to 60fps just to fit one's VSync rate, let alone it is very common to have it at 75 or so. There is tearing and flickering inconsistency, but I don't remember any complains over the years. So I'm not sure we should start adjusting the fps for youtube as a new policy.

But I disagree that this should be taken into consideration to an extent that a current, new audience cannot overcome it.
The audience is not that new. And the run is not that different. Overall, the visual cutoff between moons and vault might be arbitrary and random, but the system is not that broken either: you get normal distribution and after a decade can very well predict the rates for a new movie with similar content. Not perfectly, but you can't be sure they will be different either. I remember a few cases where the rates were lower than the judge has expected. But no cases of the opposite.
