we have amazing pics on chelsea tower now and it hasn't been added until know...
why?
in UAE section there are 10 wonderful photos...!

AtlanticaC5 · March 12th, 2005, 11:06 PM

As RafflesCity said, be patient. It's not just to add a new building and that's it, it's more work behind it than people think. It WILL be added soon, so don't worry

dubaiflo · March 12th, 2005, 11:34 PM

ok i will be patient. but for interest what is the work behind...
make a new thread and put in poll and pics?
is it that you have to change all the figures...?

AtlanticaC5 · March 14th, 2005, 05:25 PM

First you create the thread, with pics and so on. Then you find no 100 (which becomes no 101) and push it off to Top 101-200, and then find and push 200 (which becomes 201) to Top 201-300, and then no 300 into the local sections. We don't update the numbers everytime we add a new building, but we do it a little now and then. Then you have to update the list of all the buildings (300). It doesn't sound that difficult, but it takes some time. And that's the inside-report from the ROT-section

dubaiflo · March 15th, 2005, 02:57 PM

thanks.
but now back to work and add chelsea tower

***AltinD*** · March 15th, 2005, 04:40 PM

In a month or two another Dubai tower has to be added to the list: The 211 m tall Grosvenor House Hotel by Le Meridien, followed in a month or so by the 220 m tall Al Seef Tower (res.) and then the 200 m tall Le Reve Tower, and by the end of the year, the Twin Al Fattan Marine Towers, 245 m each (res) have to be added also on the list.

Now there is a problem: Next year will be compleated The Jumeirah Beach Residence project, which has 36 residential tower, similar almost identical in style, but with different floor count, from 20 - 54. Several of them will over 200 meters tall. How will be these towers rated? As a complex or separately? The individual towers have no names, just number-codes.

dubaiflo · March 16th, 2005, 06:36 PM

yeah and in 2006 there will be at least 10 other 200+ towers...
lot of work...

rufi · March 19th, 2005, 02:49 AM

Where are the observation decks like CN tower ?

***AltinD*** · March 19th, 2005, 09:16 PM

^ CN Tower is not a skyscraper

The general policy has always been the same here...

When someone creates a proper ROT thread for a new 'ranked' building in the open area, we will take note of it. Once we have a group of new 'ranked' ROT threads to incorporate into the Top 300 list, we then add them.

People MUST remember that when we update the list, we have to re-enumerate dozens or hundreds of threads. Thus, there is no way that we will ever update the entire list immediately. We will wait for a reasonable queue of new threads to build, and then add them in batches, to lessen what would otherwise be a crushing workload for our mods. I have personally always been of the opinion that the ranked lists should be updated about 3-4 times a year, and that's it.

***AltinD*** · April 3rd, 2005, 09:53 PM

^Four times a year makes perfect sense. Now that April has come, hopefully the first update for 2005 should take place.

***Oriolus*** · April 28th, 2005, 04:14 AM

wjfox2002 I see you've closed the "New York New York, Chongqing" thread in 201-300. I know it shouldn't be there but could you or one of the other ROT mods unlock it and place it in the "other" section? I mean chongqinghero went to the trouble to make it (and it will be in the top 300 next update) so I think moving rather than locking would be reasonable.

RafflesCity · April 28th, 2005, 04:15 AM

dont worry Oriolus, we will definitely be assigning a position for it soon, along with some other buildings.

elletijanii · May 22nd, 2005, 09:25 PM

lol

***AltinD*** · June 5th, 2005, 01:46 PM

There are two towers listed as #88, the new Chelsea Tower in Dubai, on the sticky thread and this tower in Perth, Australia: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=12111

How come?

AtlanticaC5 · June 12th, 2005, 08:07 PM

@AltinD: When we add a new building (like Chelsea Tower), we give it the correct rank in height (#88). However, the building which was #88 earlier (Central Park Tower), will still have #88 for a while, since we don't renumber all threads after each added building (it would take forever to do so). We don't re-number buildings very often since there are 300 threads which have to be re-numbered manually, and that takes some time.

To see the correct ranking, I'll recommend you to take a look in this thread: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=85276

malec · June 24th, 2005, 10:16 AM

Grosvenor House in Dubai has just been completed at 210m
http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showth...75#post4564275
Along with some great pics by Dubai-Lover. Whenever you update the list make sure to include this one.

Will I post a thread in the Top 300 myself or do I have to wait for you guys to do it? Don't know how this really works.

***AltinD*** · June 27th, 2005, 07:30 PM

The 215 meters tall Al Seef (condominium) Tower is compleated as well: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showth...79#post4550079

dubaiflo · June 27th, 2005, 07:39 PM

what is the next one? two al fattan at 245m?

AtlanticaC5 · June 27th, 2005, 07:43 PM

@malec and AltinD: I'll add both of the towers now

So malec you don't have to worry about making the thread yourself, I'll take care of that
