It needs to be dynamically interactive. Having people edit a graphic file with their own scribbles will rapidly degenerate into a complete clusterfuck.

I was just about to say that. I've seen maps that can be linked to your website that allow users to place a "pushpin" at their location and edit their info. That would be pretty slick.

Yep. That's exactly it. But I think a site admin would have to set it up to be accessible on this site, to members only. I don't think any of us weenies can just set one up.

No it would be better, ie lovelier, to have a big flashy map like the one we started with filled with extraordinary geographical revelations. It's just such an awful lot of work is all.

You can find it at:

Just remember when adding yourself not to put you EXACT house as obviously some people on the internet could pay unexpected visits or start stalking you.

I've setup 3 pins and one Square pin, they are Boys (blue) Girls (red) and an Orange square for 'Meet ups' in case we ever set places up for Sciforums meetings in the future. (Although if it's anything like the local 2600, the numbers usually speak for themselves)

I'll administrate to make sure spambots don't start dropping in their favourite cafe's etc

Entirely up to you the members of Sciforums as to whether to participate, to be serious where you are or where you'd like to be.
