🗺️ JG Community Map

[mundeli]

I was wondering the same thing myself…There must be 10 more, at least

Maybe the numbers are low because this thread got dismissed in peoples’ lists when they didn’t understand the title? Create a new one so that those who dismissed this thread have another opportunity to join?

[ I’d put my name in again just to get a box of air guitar strings signed by Justin.]

or are you two looking for a free overnight stay in a specific location in an appropriate hurry?

Go ahead and practice this … Guns N’ Roses Patience - Easy!

It’s impossible to predict what will be fly and what will bomb…
There was greater participation last time around, but it’s a different place now, with more members posting less regularly.
There’s a growing (understandable) sense of not wanting to share personal info on internet platforms (although most members who introduce themselves do share where they are from at some point)
Whilst it would be cool to have a densely populated map reflecting JG’s popularity, I personally prefer to have a map of names with mainly regular contributors that I recognise.
(It’s also less work to maintain )
Time will tell as Dutchy says…

I’m a nerd and first read the title as “JG Community website map”, that is, what is the geography of the Community website, not what is the geography of the Community participants.

And, especially, thank you @brianlarsen for taking on the work this entails. When I’ve volunteered for the kind of commitment you’re doing here, it creates a little bug in my head that needs constant feeding–have I missed something? how to keep malefactors out? am I entering data correctly? how to identify and clean out cruft? I’d love to offer advice how to streamline maintenance, but I’ve no clue how to script it/automate.

Again, thank you Brian!

Hi Brian. I’m afraid I fall into that category as my wife and I have recently had a series of very plausible scam attacks on our bank account. Fortunately we have not fallen for them but it makes you wonder where these people get their information from. We have both removed ourselves from Facebook albeit we used it very infrequently and really only to keep in touch with family. I do not have 982 friends.
We do online shopping and of course that involves email address, credit card details and home address if things are being delivered.

Anyway, it is quite fascinating to see where we all come from in this wonderful Community.
Put me down for Glasgow Scotland. That’s sufficiently vague.
Edit. I’ve recently changed the strings on my air guitar so do not wish to be included in the prize draw.

[brianlarsen]

Aw, no, thank you, it’s really not much work
There’s no shortage of helpful reminders when I ‘miss something’ and I don’t think we have any ‘malefactors’ here- lots of weirdos- but all benign
Maintenance is simple: copy/paste the location provided into the search box, add to map, change location name to member name- 30 seconds.
The people who deserve thanks are the ones who volunteer for official roles and keep the show on the road- the moderators. (and possibly the mad one for taking the open mics under his wing, but we wouldn’t like to over-inflate that head )

The True North is represented!
even if it’s just a Weegie from Glasvegas

Ach, wie nett, dass Du auch da bist!

[Helen0609]

Still silently around, Brian. Nice to “see” you and thanks for the effort to putting this map together again!

Maybe quite handy and create room for some the other bits m bobs that’s been going on in recent weeks and my subsequent low pro.

[brianlarsen]

Ah, sure I’ll pop you back where you belong, so
All the best

[Weath72]

Also a little cautious about internet privacy these days, but happy for you to put me down as being in ‘Nottingham’ (UK) as being close enough .

[mathsjunky]

Hey Brian, can you pop a pin near Aylesbury for me please?

[brianlarsen]

Welcome to planet Earth, everybody!

I’m at the restaurant at the end of the universe waiting to be rescued🥺

Oh well, I’d like to pick you up, but at the moment my flying saucer is in the repair shop!
