I haven't visited the SLICK in years; I go straight to the wiki now. Between broken links and lack of design discussion, SLICK wasn't useful anymore. And with the transition from monochrome stashes to Treehouse sets, SLICK is even less relevant for sorting, a feature that the wiki couldn't match but is slowly working up to via Categories. ---Ryan --- On Fri 07/13, Avri Klemer < avri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > wrote: From: Avri Klemer [mailto: avri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] To: icehouse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2007 12:49:58 -0400 Subject: Re: [Icehouse] SLICK v Icehousegames.org <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.3132" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I agree. The SLICK site is reference in many places, online and in print, usually with no mention of the Icehouse Games Wiki.

Why is it still around?"<BR><BR>* SLICK is at a Looney-maintained site, so it's as persistent as the whole company.<BR>* SLICK is not a wiki, so it's maintained internally only, by the (very busy, shorthanded) company.<BR><BR>* Icehousegames.org has a TON more games than SLICK.<BR>* SLICK seems to have some games that are NOT on the wiki and need to be "ported" to it.<BR><BR>* SLICK is VERY old and its game rules are probably obsolete, for games also on Icehousegame.org and being polished there but not copied back to SLICK.<BR>* SLICK could be considered a historical artifact (more so, if a link to Icehousegame.org is right at the top, clarifying that IHG.org is the actual "place to be" now).<BR><BR>* SLICK is mentioned in older news articles--yep, that post about the BBC coverage of Icehouse reminded me of dear old dottering SLICK. But HTML *does* support the REDIRECT tag, to bounce folks straight to the IHG.org Wiki, if SLICK is completely dismantled (after porting extra games over).<BR><BR>Thoughts, folks?<BR>David<BR> <P> <HR> <P></P>_______________________________________________<BR>Icehouse mailing list<BR>Icehouse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<BR>http://lists.looneylabs.com/mailman/listinfo/icehouse<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML> <p>_______________________________________________<br>Icehouse mailing list<br>Icehouse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<br>http://lists.looneylabs.com/mailman/listinfo/icehouse<br> _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
