Join the C&G Frappr!

[Flybrian]

If you don't know what a Frappr is, its an interactive friend-mapping site. Just go here to our Frappr...

http://www.frappr.com/cheersandgears

...fill in your C&G Username and Zip code (and a little comment and picture if you choose) and volia!

I think it'll be neat to get a real representation of where everyone is. And, yes, works for Canadians, too, eh?

:CG_all:

[sciguy_0504]

This is hot, even though I screwed up joining the first time.

[mjdecker]

Another forum I go to (n-body.net) has one setup too. :cheers:

Looks like no one's forefathers braved the Oregon Trail. :P

[NOS2006]

:word: I'm in.

You've died from cholera.

Satty and I are the frontiersmen of the board right now...nobody is west of us yet. Edited January 2, 2006 by mustang84

It's because they are all still sleeping. Those lazy bums. Souf Represent!

[!!!TED!!!]

Meh..it gave me a generic location for Toronto. I do not live a block away from the CN Tower. :P

[mustang84]

I apparently live on a baseball field.

[ichbinjohnk]

I found my road on the map, but they have it named something completely different...

[Satty]

Yeah, they've got me over by the park, totally the wrong side of town, althouth I think I've delivered to the house that my little marker is on. And that map is at least 3 years old, a lot of roads on there, in my area at least, have been re-named or re-routed and quite a few have been built connecting other roads.

[sciguy_0504]

I think the map is from Google. The generic locations, I believe, are given to be the center of your zip/postal code, even though it got pretty close to my house.

West Side Represent!

[Cory Wolfe]

:D

[ocnblu]

OK, who put my name up there? :angry:

I just joined... the real me includes a photo.

[Cory Wolfe]

Um... nice photo, Blu. :P

[ocnblu]

:blush: I reckon a "thank ya" is in order for that, Viper. (That's my Ennis Del Mar voice.)

[Cory Wolfe]

Hehe... yeah. :D

Anyways, did you know you could modify where the marker is? You know... to put it right where your house is? Well... I did... so if anyone wants to... well... visit me, you can now do it without asking me to make it a... um... surprise. *hint* *hint* :AH-HA_wink:

[Cory Wolfe]

Okay... everybody needs to view my frappr/profile/whatever-the-hell-it's-called. :D I've put in info, places, etc... I love this thing. It's cool. B) It's going to get used...

We... maybe not my places, must be private. :P Oh well.. still have my profile... Edited January 3, 2006 by blackviper8891

I did the same thing on automobileforum.com. it's a cool little thing. you can zoom dow to the streets to find that they put your location on the exact opposite side of town. :D At least its not as bad as one dude from the Vancouver Area that entered his zip code in and his flag ended up in the water a few miles somewhere off the coast of Victoria Island.

I guess it's safe to say that, for the most part, C&G members follow the usual population pattern of North America. Black and Blue Landscaper I've only seen post on here a few times and he lives by me. Weird... Nice picture, though.

[Variance]

Interesting, I'm the only one here from Connecticut.

[ocnblu]

Dude, this thing is whacked. It puts me several miles away from where I am.

[Guest Josh]

To me when I read the thread it always seem to say the C&G "Crapper"

You can change where the marker is... I did as I live 5 miles out of town.

[AAS]

[post="67562"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post]

how'd you move the marker?

[Cory Wolfe]

Um... I think where you view your frappr, on the map, it says you can click somewhere else on the map to move it. I'll have to recheck it, but I'm pretty sure that's all I had to do.. well, besides zooming in to get exactly where my house should sit. :D

EDIT... you have to go to "My Profile" first. There, is a map where it says that and you can change it. Edited January 4, 2006 by blackviper8891

[Alpha]

Well, I figured I better give Ven a little company out here in the lonely Northwest... :P

[griff7774]

Lone star????????

[gt1750]

I'm all alone in whole Europe :(

[76ChevyTrucker]

It would appear that I'm the only Alabamian on there, the closest two to me are Florida and Georgia.

[AM6_Cutlass]

Pretty neat. I am now mapped.

[Flybrian]

*BUMP*

In case you're new and unaware, this is an interactive map of C&G members. Add yourself and browse the Frappr to see where others are in the US and the world!

[DenCo]

Well, I'm in...

However, like others have already mentioned, it picks a random generic location when you enter the name of your city and such under location.

I ended-up in the middle of wheeler Blvd., a 4-laned highway that goes around town. Needless to say, I don't live in the middle of the highway. Anywho... I'm in, I'm the only Maritimer here, it would seem and I might move the marker to a slightly more accurate position, if I can actually get it to work.

[Flybrian]

Frappr time again!

[Z-06]

I'm in. Good one FLY.

[Satty]

[ocnblu]

Hmmm... does that little person have a working vagina?

I guess it's safe to say that, for the most part, C&G members follow the usual population pattern of North America.

Black and Blue Landscaper I've only seen post on here a few times and he lives by me. Weird... Nice picture, though.

Yeah I added myself and Black and Blue Landscaper is about 20 miles from me. Then I think it's you sciguy_0504 as the next closest to me.

[Flybrian]

Just making everyone aware of this again. Join, damnit!
