This just happened on another forum I frequent, and it's really a pretty neat thing, so I figured we'd give it a try here. It's a big ol' world map where you can set a marker and leave your name and a brief message so we can see where everybody on the forum is located in the world. It might turn out a little bit silly-looking since so many of you are in England, but oh, what the hey.

EDIT: It turns out that this map zooms in pretty dadgum far -- I have my location pinpointed to probably within spitting distance from my house. So density in any particular region probably won't be a problem.

Pretty easy to use. Click and drag around to scroll, zoom controls are on your upper left to make your marker more precise, and just click to set your position, and it'll ask for the info you want on it.

Please no irrelevant or otherwise stupid/inappropriate markers.

I've added my home and term-time locations.

I'd sticky this topic, as requested, but the sticky button appears to have vanished.

You have to edit the first post, and change the settings at the bottom. I just did it for you.

People on the Internets now know where I live. *shudder*

People on the Internets have slept in your flat.

Post by **Squirminator2k** » Tue Sep 27, 2005 5:00 pm

People on the Internets have shared an airbed with another person from the Internets in my flat.

*pleads not to know any more*

Note: as of Thursday, the location I provided will be inaccurate by approximately 200 miles.

I didn't say they detailed any airbeds.

That's me done the same. Now you know the part of Scotland I live in.

I've now added my term-time location, and it is as accurate as possible

Very usefull for aiming balistic missiles at people you don't like. Now just to find balistic missiles...

AndrewTaylor · Post by **AndrewTaylor** » Mon Oct 03, 2005 12:26 am

I have some ballistic missiles. Although their range and accuracy are severely limited, and the paylod is very small.

Alright, I have some pens.

Unless you can throw one accross the Atlantic, it doesn't count.

Zeor · Post by **Zeor** » Mon Oct 03, 2005 10:00 am

Well, by the definitions of the words, I think a pen could count as a ballistic missle, but not if you add the condition of being able to clear the Atlantic.

Post by **Squirminator2k** » Mon Oct 03, 2005 10:24 am

Depends on how large a rubber band you have.

K^2 · Post by **K^2** » Tue Oct 04, 2005 6:53 am

If you define the words "balistic" and "missile" separately, then yes, a pen for some unexplicable reason thrown by AT accross the pub does count. I, however, still insist on the Atlantic criterion in case when they are used together. Dictionary definition of "ballistic missile" requires it to be self propelled.

...So, where'd the map go? If it's gone completely, we'll need to find a replacement.
