Stevie: It sounds reasonable:)

EDIT: I am placed about 5 pixels right from my real location>:(

Sir, the map doesn't seem to work for me. When I click the link, it simply takes me to the home page.

Why not? It seems like quite a small effort compared to what you've done so far. Why not get the most out of the map? If you like, I can even build a text file of every city and its latitude/longitude converted from degrees/minutes/seconds to decimal numbers.

No, please don't do any list of cities. It's bad, because: 1. Only big cities will be covered, which will discriminate people living in small ones. 2. People should prefer to enter the coordinates of their apartment, not the center of the city. Having such a list may stop them from finding out such coordinates. 3. There is already possibility to just click to the map if you don't want to find your lat/long.

If ML has time, there are sure better things he could do:

Forum habitants map. People who are more active on the forum get bigger circle (or more fancy colored one).

Creators map. Ones who have their projects in depot get bigger circle.

Flamers map. Ones who are more active in 'offtopic' forum get big red circle.

Day/night shaded map, as of the current moment.

Virtual day/night map. The shading is not depending on just time of day, but on the amount of activity on the forum that usually happens in that area in this particular time.

How's that?

I believe he classifies you as african

I think the map should display phone numbers. I like calling people.

Oooh! Me first!

210-739-0201!

I swear you weren't in the map when I checked it Though the points were very small, too I was only counting people that appeared in the map The number of Asians has increased since then from 2 to 5

Why am i seeing.. .dots which state that their owners are from US and they are located in RUS..?

Not sure if anyone needs such a thing or if its all that accurate but I found this and this.

Woo. and those two urls sure are interesting in them selves.. 96 and 69. 69 happens to be a favorite number of mine

I guess Tokyo takes more than one pixel even on current map. And ML was mentioning scalable maps in future. Also someone mentioned continent maps. All these things make it meaningful to have precise coordinates. It is future-compatible.

Accurate coordinates can make some nice features possible in future, like calculation of distance between you and any other a.cc habitant. If the coordinates are precise, two people living in the same town will still be able to know how far they are from each other. But if both just enter the same coordinates, because they live in the same city, the distance will be 0.

If the coordinates are correct, I can just take GPS and come to visit someone else here.. On his birthday. But I'm not sure everyone will like this idea.

If you want this city-list so much, why don't you start by constructing such list (city<->coordinates). Put it online somewhere and let people see.. Who knows may be it's really good and everyone else will want this feature also.

Then there will be no these funny things like Torbjörn invading Novosibirsk (my hometown) ? No way.

Credit card and pin number would be more useful...
