Re: Members Map
 
Hmmm.....

Well, this thread has given me two things to think about this morning:

1. Looks like my idea for a map of the membership, that I've been working on for ages, has already been done by someone else - so I can stop working on it now :)

2. Looks like I was right, it was only a matter of time before someone found an avatar just like mine ;)

I don't think anyone will bother coming all the way over to the lakes just to find out if my location is accurate. That said fair game to you if you do taking a chance on it and all.:disturbd:

Now here's a thought. On the other web type place that I'm a member, we all have a little orange badge so that if we ever encounter another member, such as at events, we know that they're fellow brethren. Maybe CF could sell a little pale blue badge?

Why not? I know some people create a second-self online that is more their true self than in reality, but it would be nice, say, to look up from the frozen veg section and find that a CF member is debating burgers directly opposite you :shrug: I'm thinking in a social way. The singletons on here may benefit too.

I should be alright - if anyone knocked on one of the front doors in my street and asked for 'Nugget', they'd probably get lynched ;)

Unless it was my front door of course, in which case I'd just deny it :D
