Is there a place where i can register my characters and/or find rules for TBC classic Iron Man?
As the current rules state i must choose a spec but I cant enter talents - which is for retail.
I'd like to be able to prove that my character made it to 70 in some way other than recording the entire run, because the achievement tab stats don't yet exist
If anyone can give me any info it'd be awesome, because otherwise I feel like I'm the only person doing this.

No API from Blizzard in classic yet, so no way to track any toon (we certainly won't check all the footage of a run). Classic rules are here (may change a bitif BLizzard finallt creates an API) Cassic iron challenge

from what I understand the addon keeps info on on the player's computer, with a feature to send it to classichc.net that the player must use from time to time. Might be a solution for us, but code wardens are quite busy atm in rl so developping such a thing will have to wait

Slight necro, apologies:
The way that the HC addon works is that every level you obtain, it is marked down and a screenshot is taken. Whenever you open the addon, you can see a catalog of all of your levels, what time it was, what your /played was, etc. It also will flag your character if you die, use bubblehearth / LOE hearth. It will also disable the ability to use auction house / mail / trading (which isn't all relevant in IM/etc). I did see recently that somebody got a warning when their HC addon wasn't functioning properly and was told by the addon to record their run from thereon out in the HC discord, which means it''s actively recording how much uptime the addon has in relation to their /played. I'm sure that if the code people could somehow get in touch with the HC guys they''d be happy to share how they did it, and I'm sure it would be a lot less stressful to produce since most of the base would be there and some of the stuff in the addon isn't' necessary (AH warning) and can probably make use of achievements (in the case of retail) to automatically flag a character.
I've just started doing HC last couple weeks and I think that an addon to track IM, greenman, bloodthirsty, whatever the hell is possible would bring in a lot of interest. Also, I think that an addon would also help bring back the interest on retail, and maybe fix the issues regarding greenman/workingman etc. Personally, I enjoy greenman and bloodthirsty only. Ironman can get... tedious, to say the least, so it gets boring to me super quickly but I enjoy the rather lax pace of greenman compared to ironman and I'm sure a lot of people agree, but simply can't partake in it due to it being disabled.
I'm no code wizard and perhaps I don't understand how things work but that's some insight on how the addon works and my two cents on an addon being developed.
edit: Forgot to mention that to verify a run the player gets a submission string that they can access even at level 1 that I presume just sends the information gathered about that character to the HC mods whenever a run is submitted. It'll probably tell them whether the run is valid or not. So the addon doesn't do the verifying for you per se, it just gathers your character's levels, takes screenshots, disables banned functions, flags you for illegal activities (like dying... lol) then when you hit 60/70 you take the string that the addon gives to you and submit it to the HC website. That part is a little bit beyond me as I don't understand how the string works or how the mods are able to read that string, but it is a thing and it is doable.

Vic is saying what I meant in an unfolded and extensive way. Especially the part with drawing attention and interest to the IMC. I think it is too bad that everybody knows what hc is but almost noone knows the IMC any more. I understandd being busy, but a small peep - like we'll look into this later would be so nice. I know next to nothing about coding, so I can't offer anything but my support. I STILL like playing IronMan after all these years (almost 10 OMG!) and do so in Classic - and a small bit in TBCC to enjoy the Draenei starter zone.

We hope to get the website working again in a few months. Addons are in a completely different language so it's something our team would have to learn. Not undoable, but would take a lot more time
