Jan I have to say I am not very happy with early July. I know you are supposed to name the bigger city but I hope you realise that most people in this country class them as separate cities, they are legally separate cities and if you look up R on wikipedia it clearly says it is a city within the bigger district. Not a suburb. In the past Long Beach has been correct not Los Angeles for example. I just do not think there is consistency there and if there is no consistency then people are always going to guess the correct answer but not get the points as you know has happened on this occasion. Surely it is fair, in the limited times this occurs to award points to those who guessed the correct city, not the bigger district which for a "guess the city" is actually incorrect? Just my say on the whole thing.

***Jan*** · July 15th, 2010, 11:04 PM

As there will always be a grey line in between what people consider to be the main city, I don't think I can solve that issue.

In this case Jan, in this very limited case, you can solve it by rewarding both correct answers?

JohnnyMass · July 17th, 2010, 01:17 AM

I think that would be fair.

What about July 2nd Jan, will you fix it?

SanMiguel · July 20th, 2010, 02:09 PM

agree! that would be fair

It's september now but the link shows still: SkyscraperCity XL will return mid august.

***GENIUS LOCI*** · September 1st, 2010, 05:23 PM

Mid august 2011

***Jan*** · September 2nd, 2010, 02:37 AM

I'm going to recode the whole thing and install projects which have been on my mind for quite some time. Give it some time but you bet it'll be back.

Concrete Stereo · September 6th, 2010, 12:08 AM

Ahá, it is up and running again. At least guess the city is. Nice.

BeogradskiVESLAČ · September 8th, 2010, 03:41 AM

What about "Guess the Satellite"?

***Jan*** · September 8th, 2010, 04:22 AM

I don't think I'll revive the guess the satellite, also because after having done that one for over 1.5 years, it was getting harder to find suitable images. More likely a guess the skyscraper and guess the stadium will return in it's place. One on one was also time consuming to set up, but I kinda liked that one a lot so I might set it up again. I'm also prioritizing some other projects I had in mind.

Thanks for gettting it up and running again Jan. Must say I did enjoy the satellite competition too but in any case looking forward to whatever future developments come onboard.

Concrete Stereo · September 9th, 2010, 03:09 PM

I'd be happy to have one-on-one back. The concept worked good and it formed a great collection.
