Considering the number of views shown on the Forum Index 16 is pretty pathetic, With enough people on the map someone may even decide its worth setting up a LUG in your area, it only takes a few seconds so lets get more people on the map!

At the time of writing this 16 people have signed this thing yet there are 1907 registered users! I know it's not very important but c'mon people lets show a little less apathy!

Ooh Flea, the person you're with has a terrible facial disfigurement (or is it you? ) , hope it's cleared up now...

lol yeah that's my brother he was suffering from a mild case of "looking more cute than me" disease! Symptoms include heavy face pixelation and sometimes wonky glasses, swirly moustaches etc.

Thankfully it has all cleared up now, he's a long haired peroxide blonde glam rocker, his days of outshining me are over!

Yea, I have to say it can be a bit difficult getting it to locate you, but as long as you click non US then generally entering the first three letters of your closest town or city does the job, strangely when I typed in Ipswich it wouldnt find it, but if I enter IPS it does

Australia is just a grey blob with soem smaller blue blobs inside - I'll try some guess work later to estimate where Bathurst, NSW, Australia is.

Click non US.
and start writing the name of your closest city. And select from the dropdown list. Worked for me.

Brilliant, theres now a user outside the UK on the map still need more users on there though. If this was an m$ map sadly we wouldnt be able to the UK at all because fo all the little flags.
