Morpheus Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 We've had many Where Do You Live? Threads, and I always thought that we needed a better solution. So now the days of sifting through page after page of people is over! You can now post yourself and see where others that use Otakuboards live conveniently at [URL]http://www.frappr.com/otakuboards[/URL].
AnimeFront Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Kool, that was a very good idea. Im gonna go post mine right now. Well not everything just the city i live in.
Ikillion Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 [COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Indeed this is a rather nice solution, so now if you don't really know what the place is that someone lives in, You can look around and try to find it that way. Excelent idea though Morpheus[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]
TheShinje Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 [color=crimson] Except it leave out us non-Americans. :( It furthers my conspiracy that the internet was intended to be an exclusive American-only club, and the rest of the world got only got online by being lucky by 'accidentally finding it.' [/color]
Hevn Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 You can move the map ^_^; Added myself! Cool idea.
TheShinje Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 [color=crimson][img]http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/252/ci20050324homer9np.jpg[/img] Thanks, Hevn, I was feeling rather left-out until you let me know that simple little detail. Added myself if anybody cares. :p Anyway, yeah, this is a nifty little tool to help keep us all in the know about who lives where. Nice interface too.[/color]

[/color][/QUOTE] [color=green]Feel free to go start your own root file... This is an interesting idea, and I did add myself to the map.[/color]
Baron Samedi Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 [size=1]Thats it! I'm fed up with this 'American internet'. I'm going to go start my own, and call it.... Oznet! Great idea to set everything up through Frappr though. I wouldn't have considered it ^_^[/size]
Morpheus Posted January 23, 2006 Author Posted January 23, 2006 Should I make it so that the map loads up in world mode instead of US?
Stark Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Pretty dang good idea. I was wondering where some of these people live that allows them to post at 2 in the morning! This little idea earns Stark's vote of approval.
Shy Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 [size=1]I love how Shinmaru and I live maybe 20 miles away from each other and we've made no attempt to meet in real life. It's probably for the best, though. There are more than a few members here who can vouch for how boring I am in real life. Thank you Morpheus, it's about time someone started up an account for OB. -Shy[/size]
Kaze Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 [font=Times]I already added myself to Frappr for two other forums, so why not here too. I'm gonna find some more forums doing the Frappr thing, so I can add myself. Because Kaze is too good at adding himself to Frappr now. I can't waste this talent.[/font]
Fyxe Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 [size=1][color=slategray]How fun. I added myself, seeing to there needed to be more Iowans. It's weird to see how close some people actually live. O.o[/color][/size]
celestialcharm Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 [COLOR=DarkOrchid]I was wondering when frappr would make it's way to the OB. But I still shake my fist at frappr, for being so, well I just feel like shaking my fist at it.[/COLOR]
Persona Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 [COLOR=SeaGreen]I forgot about the whole see where other members live...I swear its just another way for poeple to stalk you (lol). But I posted myself in there and sadly I am a one woman show who lives in the tiniest place and most uneventful at that. But I did see members who live in a good range from my state. Once again [B]Frappr[/B] has claimed another forum.[/COLOR]

This little idea earns Stark's vote of approval.[/QUOTE]I reply at 2 in the morning sometimes...:D Anyway, I can't believe there's so little Canadians, and we're right next to the U.S.[/COLOR]
Shinmaru Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 [QUOTE=Shy][size=1]I love how Shinmaru and I live maybe 20 miles away from each other and we've made no attempt to meet in real life.

Thank you Morpheus, it's about time someone started up an account for OB. -Shy[/size][/QUOTE] Haha, if we met I bet that the world would collapse upon itself from all of the boring. Anyway, as you can all see, I added myself earlier. I bet that you were all just [i]dying[/i] to see where I live - and now you know! By the way, there sure are a lot of OBers on the east coast... lol. w3$t $1d3 4 lyf3 d00dz
SunfallE Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]Interesting idea. ^_^ It was surprising to see where people lived. So far I?m the only one in Utah though. >_< Oh and [B]Baron Samed[/B]i, I love your new signature. Hehe! Priceless. ^_^[/COLOR]
Desbreko Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 [color=#4B0082]Now I can actually see how alone I am up in the northern half of CA. Yay. :p[/color]
demonboy Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Great idea, I'm off to post mine now! I put my name as Throes, because that's what I go by everywhere else on the internet nowadays.
Sandy Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 [quote name='Desbreko][color=#4B0082']Now I can actually see how alone I am up in the northern half of CA. Yay. :p[/color][/quote] Puh-please! I just added myself, being the [I]third[/I] European person on the map! :P Well, it'll probably change within the next few days, when more people spot this thread. ;D But this map-thingy really is interesting. I used to think "oh, he's American, so he lives somewhere in the USA", and now I clearly see that it's one huge generalization. Oh, and I can laugh at all the silly names peoples' hometowns have. XP
Retribution Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 [quote name='Shinmaru']w3$t $1d3 4 lyf3 d00dz[/quote] [size=1]y34h, w3$t$1d3 str8 r3pp1n' 1t, y0!1 There's so many people over here, that we should have a get-together in a central location like [i]DC![/i] I added myself as well, and I'm excited to see that there are several people relatively close to me. [/size]
Her Black Wings Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Well hey, this is awful nifty. I'll go add myself straight away, good idea.
Aaryanna Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 [QUOTE=SunfallE][COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]Interesting idea. ^_^ It was surprising to see where people lived. So far I?m the only one in Utah though. >_< [/COLOR][/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkOrange]Not anymore! :p Espically since we live in the same town. ^_^ Hehehe! That's a cool map! ^_^ It's fun to see where people live. [/COLOR]
sakurasuka Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 [SIZE=1]The closest [and only] person near me is RiflesAtRecess, and he's in an entirely different state. Heh. Well, this is pretty awesome. I love to see where people live. The only people on OB I've actually met is GuadoGuardian [Now WavemasterTsuka], YellowBarchetta, and OliverWhip [Now Brooklyn]. I knew all of them before we made OB accounts, though, so that doesn't really count. Meh. But seriously, this is pretty neat =D[/SIZE]
