Thanks to Ceilick who found and uploaded this. Get it here. Enjoy some tasty levels by the Keen Community made three years ago for this levelpack.

Only played the first 3 levels so far, and must say I loved Ceilick's!
The use of those sliding ice blocks was awesome.

What do those awards mean?

It's a shame a lot of these guys are not around anymore. Where did they go? :(

Most Keenish: "The level with the most old-school Keen 1 feeling in it!", Most Garging: "The most difficult or challenging or the most complex level!", and Most Yorping: "The level that was the most pleasing and/or calming to the mind and eye." I can definitely see why some of these levels got the awards they did.

And the only members on the list who aren't at least somewhat active are freeyorp101, z-one, Zorath, and battleguy01. All the others are still around (or at least stopped by somewhat recently). More proof you can't quit Keening very easily.

I was just tracking this down after reading I hadn't sent it. It seems I made a folder called 'level competitions' seperate from my 'levelpacks' folder. XD.

Aaah this is good oldschool.

Xtraverse is still around? I remember that name, being a mod on the old PCKF board.

Xtraverse runs spatang/dosclassics/beyond the pogo/etc. I wouldn't say he's exactly active, but he's certainly not gone.

Uhh... it doesn't work for me. WinZIP says "Please insert the last disk of the multi-disk set". FleexPack says "File I/O error".

Well it certainly works for me (and apparently everyone else, too), so...did you run into any trouble downloading it? Try redownloading and/or maybe unzipping with the default Windows extractor (I hate WinZip so much). There really shouldn't be a problem...

And heh, 'FleexPack' - cute.

Hmm... doesn't work. Windows exctracter says "No files to extract". I tried redownloading, but it still doesn't work. Could you try unpacking it, then repacking it for me? It might work then. Do you have any other ideas?

Probably unnecessary, but here you go. That 'No files to extract' line makes it sound like downloading trouble on your end (I seem to recall that Syllypryde had a similar problem with Mink's Puzzle Pack).
