The MoFo Map
 
Ok... might be worth a go. See how much interest we get.



The MoFo Map.
Using an online pin map, we can see the locations of MoFos.

The Map can be found here on ZeeMaps... each entry is a simple pin, just click it and it'll open the box to see which MoFo it is. Simple.





Now, please do not put postal codes, street names, full addresses or any sensitive details.
Even my own entry on the Map is a few miles off location to avoid anything too intimate.

If you want to be added, just go to the top of the map, additions, "Add Marker - Simple" and away you go.


You can move the marker as well by clicking the arrow at the bottom right of the pop-up box on your map-pin.

Pin added.

Re: The MoFo Map
 
Well crap, now I don't see it on there. What did I do wrong?

The Rodent 09-12-14 12:46 AM

Re: The MoFo Map
 
I didn't realise you could do that. Ok... add your pins then people if you want to :D


Top of map, additions, "Add Marker - Simple" and away you go.

Added myself. Moving into my new house soon so mine will change.

The Rodent 09-12-14 12:46 AM

Re: The MoFo Map
 
Yeah it's there MV. I think it takes a minute or two to save to the server.

Miss Vicky 09-12-14 12:47 AM

Re: The MoFo Map
 
I think I got it on there now.

The Rodent 09-12-14 12:53 AM

Re: The MoFo Map
 
Edited the first post. I didn't realise you could do it yourselves. I thought it was only for the Map Starter.


I guess I didn't need to join up then. Oh well. The Map itself is "owned" by "The Rodent" anyway so all is good.


Click away people!!

I didn't know I could add it myself, so I PMed it to you. Do you want to add it, or do you me to add mine?

Added gbgoodies.


You guys, if you click on your pin, at the top of the box there's your name... click it and you can add your avatar as a picture.

Godoggo 09-12-14 01:00 AM

Rodent's putting me on there. I'll be a North Florida pin.

I can see my marker when I click on the map, but I can't add my avatar. It doesn't seem to have any option to edit it.

The Rodent 09-12-14 01:05 AM

Re: The MoFo Map
 
Bring up the pop-up box on your pin and the tab called Media.


You can add either from your computer or a URL and then click Submit. Just like adding an avatar on MoFo. It takes a minute or two for the image to appear in the pop-up box.

I brought up the pop-up box, but there's no "Media" option. The only options are Zoom, Print, Close, or To and From Directions.

I tried it in both Firefox and Chrome.
Maybe it won't let me edit the pin because I didn't add it?

The Rodent 09-12-14 01:12 AM

Re: The MoFo Map
 
Ah... bring up the pop-up... at the top of the pop-up is your name... click that... then you'll see tabs at the top.

Will it accept animated avatars?

I have no idea. Try it.

Re: The MoFo Map
 
Done mine :)
think it went about 50 miles down south tho, sorry!

The Rodent 09-12-14 03:05 AM

Re: The MoFo Map
 
You can move it around a bit.


Click on the pin, and at the bottom right of the pop-up box you'll see an arrow. Click that and you can move the pin.
The box that appears in the middle of the screen can be moved as well if it's in the way.

christine 09-12-14 03:07 AM

Re: The MoFo Map
 
Done! I'm in the right place now, thanks Rodent :)

Tacitus 09-12-14 05:54 AM

Done, to within about 10 yards. It's easy when you live out in the wilds. Ish.

Good idea rodent. I was up to the same thing on another forum yesterday and it's pretty interesting when it starts to fill up. ;)

the samoan lawyer 09-12-14 06:07 AM

Re: The MoFo Map
 
Rodent, has mine worked? Also, looks like i may have trampled upon poor Tacitus (sorry Tac), can you move mine across a bit?

The Rodent 09-12-14 06:37 AM

Re: The MoFo Map
 
It's there but I can't move yours, Lawyer... only you can edit your own pin.


Click it and bring up the box, at the bottom right of the pop-up is an arrow, click that and a box comes up saying Done and Cancel, (if that box is in the way you can move it out of the way) after that, you can move the pin.

Mr Minio 09-12-14 06:55 AM

I've realised I can actually edit them. If I log into my account, I have total control over the map as it was made using that account.


Imma move everyone around :D


Yoda can live in Brazil... might move gbgoodies to Antarctica...

You mean improving it?

The Rodent 09-12-14 12:04 PM

There's a few MoFos on here I thought were American but are British.


Skep is one of them. I thought he was in the same State as Yoda. Turns out he's about 25 miles from me!!

It's to be expected that if a nation is built on immigration, it's language is as backwards as its people..:p People say the same about Britain, only difference is the ancient immigrants tp these lands were all Germanic races - practically all the same race anyway.:cool:

That's not how the word is spelled.

Aluminum

Sorry, this was already settled at Oxford University and isn't up for discussion anymore! The word is Alum - i - num. Period, end of story.

The Rodent 09-12-14 12:15 PM

Re: The MoFo Map
 
That is true, Slob.


"English" as in "Anglo" (the French still call it L'Angleterre meaning Anglo Terrain).


The Anglo Saxons were from Northern Germany and Southern Denmark. To be truly English, means you're actually German.
The usage of surnames by the Angles was also introduced by the French for taxation purposes when they conquered this little island of ours... so they could track more precisely who had or hadn't paid their tax. Before that, the Angles didn't use surnames.

The Sci-Fi Slob 09-12-14 12:16 PM

Re: The MoFo Map
 
Alu-min-ium - that's how it's pronounced. I know this because we brought the world the real English language, Shakespeare, Dr Johnson, John Milton and J. K. Rowling.:cool:

Yeah, and garbage is when they gar on the bage. Seriously. It's not hard to figure out.

The Rodent 09-12-14 12:19 PM

Re: The MoFo Map
 
Anyway... enough of this thread jacking.


Aluminum was actually a typo by Hans Christian Oersted which was snapped up by the 'mericans.
He spelled it with an i in every instance apart from one time in his extensive notes when he discovered it.




Right. No more.

The Gunslinger45 09-12-14 12:21 PM

Nevermind! Check Guap's Dream pin in Japan! xDDD

The Rodent 09-12-14 12:37 PM

It has done. Sometimes it takes a few minutes to add pics and sound bites.


Oh... who put Guap in Japan? :laugh:


I'll probably have to remove that one if he asks.

The Sci-Fi Slob 09-12-14 12:38 PM

Re: The MoFo Map
 
I will drop this whole American English thing after just one minor criticism. It's another pronunciation thing again, and it's how Americans pronounce English county names that end in "shire". Americans pronounce it exactly how it is spelt . For example, English people pronounce it: Derby'SHUR' or depending on the accent Derby'SHA'. It's goes through me when I hear Americans on TV shows pronounce it like that. That's it, rant over. Beer time! :)

Yoda 09-12-14 12:38 PM

Ultimately, it's up to Rodent where he wants this map to be on the casual/accurate spectrum, but I will say that if he decides he wants it to be accurate, you guys should definitely respect that.

I don't mind a bit of fun... I've let SC's slide as it's pretty funny and he did it to himself. Would like it if he would do a proper one though.


As for adding other people's or doing spoof ones for the sake of it, in this case Guaporense, I might have to draw a line on it.

MoFo MeetUp


That'd be interesting.

Sedai 09-12-14 01:14 PM

Re: The MoFo Map
 
We have been talking about it for years! A couple of small ones have gone off, though. John McClane came and visited LTIzzy and I for a week, and another time, Holden, Yoda and JC met in Washington DC.

Yoda 09-12-14 01:16 PM

Re: The MoFo Map
 
Yeah, I'm always down for this kind of thing. I'll make time in my schedule if someone comes out near me or wants to meet nearby. I could be persuaded to drive a bit if it involved meeting up with multiple MoFos, too.

And I'm really holding out hope that one of my favorite video games, SpyParty, has a booth at PAX East next year, since that would give me an excuse to drive up to Boston and meet Sedai and the gang.

The Rodent 09-12-14 01:18 PM

Miss Vicky 09-12-14 01:26 PM

I think Swan's the only MoFo I have any hope of meeting in person. Even then it's unlikely.

Tacitus 09-12-14 01:26 PM

I've had MoFos stay at chez Tat before and I'm sure I will have again. Tatty Cottage is far nicer than the last place too, phalanx of cats notwithstanding.

Re: The MoFo Map
 
A movie night or something with MoFos would be awesome. Yoda cant you purchase a small island somewhere and name it The Isle of MoFo and only members can enter? Just a thought :p
