1km1kt needs a new idex

Postby Chainsaw Aardvark » Sun Mar 01, 2009 11:18 am

I was going to look through the older games on the site for entries on the "" thread. That is when I came to the realization that there are [font=Palatino Linotype][/font][font=Palatino Linotype][/font][font=Palatino Linotype][/font] of works on this site!

I'm sure that the site admin has better things to do than reorganize games from five years ago. Even if they had the time a cross-referenced index of genre/approximate page length/author/date/and which contest its from is a tall order. (Of course, given the disparity of types here, I'm not sure if that is even a reasonable set of categories.)

So how can we bring more people to the older parts of the site? In the first (last?) 8 pages I found at least 30 good games from between 1/1/04 and 5/3/05.

One possibility a 24 hour supplement challenge. Go back, to a date before May 13, 2007 (what, my 24th birthday isn't an adequate cut-off date?) find a game you like, and create something new to revitalize it. This could be a dungeon map/scenario pack, new rules, characters and equipment... A general test of being on a creative team rather than making a game in isolation.

Beyond that, most of my ideas involve edits to the code of the site (ie a list of pages at the bottom, breaking it up into 5-8 page chunks)

Been in touch with Keeton - he's going to have a look at the data structure and get back to us! He agrees that the index is now large enough to make use of the tag structure.

Thank you and thank Keeton. I certainly hope this isn't too much trouble.
