    Map
In summary, the conversation centered around the website Frapper, which allows users to add themselves to a map by entering their screen name and zip code. Some users were unable to use the site due to technical difficulties, while others discussed their locations and potential meetups. One user expressed concern about sharing personal information and instead entered a dream location. Another user mentioned the length of a state's name and a possible meetup with other forum members.

It seems to be down at the moment unfrotunately... ugh, what timing

Why not just post the name of the city?
Someone else might map it out later\

For example, I live in San Francisco, California
(then again, I might be the only San Franciscan here :rolleyes:)

Dimitri - Belgium is on the map, it's just not part of the States yet, so you'll have to zoom out and cross the Atlantic.

Can't you just change your details below the map? I'm seeing a box below it with editable fields.
 
  • #21
Wollie, you were supposed to click the link saying - "Not in the US ? Click here."

I don't think it's too late to edit though.
 
  • #22
I didnt see the name of my city either, but I just typed it in and it recognized it

I'm just outside of Santa Rosa. Maybe we can start up the San Francisco PF meetup. Please add yourself, so Pengwuino isn't the closest person to me.
