Ady's new osb fixes the incompatibility issues with titanic. Unfortunately some of the text doesn't appear on older clients, this isn't a mistake on -Ady's part, but clearly some of the text uses storyboard functions that either don't work on old osu! or just work differently. I am okay with using -Ady's storyboard as it is right now, as trying to recreate the storyboard effects again ourselves using the older techniques sounds like way too much hassle for a Map Request.
In order to rank the map with the modified .osb we will need to upload it through Titanic's BSS. Since we are doing that we could choose to not rank Sytho's Insane. In my opinion we should leave the map in and keep it ranked. Someone could see that this map is ranked here on Titanic and be looking specifically for this diff and be disappointed that it's not there.
I think this opens up a much larger discussion as to what is the vibe of maps here on Titanic. Is the goal to only have older style maps (up to the latest client added at the time)? If that's the case should we be unranking or discouraging older style maps? It's a bit of a tough question that I think we will need to decide together as a community. What do players and mappers here want? So far we have not imposed any sort of mapping style on Titanic mappers, but for Map Requests we have discouraged or denied newer style maps historically.
Also we should change the Perfect Curve Sliders to Beziers if we are going to send it through BSS, at least the ones that are likely to cause issues. Here's the sliders I noticed that would need to be changed.

(moving the middle anchor on these sliders on Sytho's Insane would mostly resolve the issue, but that does not apply to any of the other sliders mentioned)
