About the map on the front page that shows our locations..
Someone expressed concern that where we are from can be guessed from the map, and someone remarked about someone knowing where they are in a post. (which was edited I see) About that, a certain poster very likely picked a town at random for whatever reason.. Not a very nice one I'm beginning to wonder.. (inciting paranoia comes to mind)
Technically, what the map shows is where your internet service provider's servers are located, sometimes they show the exact town you are in, sometimes not. (mine is wrong, although it is where my family's summer place is, weird coincidence)
Anyhow, if this bothers you, I can PM you a link to a proxy server I have on jojoplace, just something I did originally to see if I could get it working just for the fun of it, but it has come in handy for a few. (it would show you as being from California) Or, if enough are bothered by it, I'll just kill it, but I know many enjoy it as well.
Thoughts?

The map could only be for guests.

yeah make our guest the targets. seriously I have not seen me on it yet but the map does freak me out and if it continues to be abused I am not going to be sad to see it go, it always says it isn't working whenever I click on it anyway.

Only for guests.. it doesn't work that way, or that's not an option in other words. It always says maps are down or something, that's an erroneous error message.. Someone is too lazy to change it/it's a catch-all phrase..
But OK, the locations of the people posting here is a piece of information, no question. However, it's not telling anyone what street, your name, or pretty much anything else.
My comfort level is fine with that kind of information being available (Durham NH) but if others aren't that's cool.

Alright, It's gone. What started all this , from page 82 of the RA thread: Mrohboy: the real one resides...etc.He took a town at random from the Map Loco list and decided to stir the paranoia. Well done!
