I've made a new version of the map website. I'm sorry I keep making people sign up over and over again, but the new design is just SOOO much better than before. And Im sure this will come in useful if anyone wants to plan any ATOT gatherings.
NEW USA MAP PAGE
NEW CANADA MAP PAGE

Before any Canadians complian about Canada not being on the map, you have to send me a map to use for Canada.

The newest version features a larger map, and email verification to keep track of users, rather than using IP addresses.

Yeah, I know the map goes through too many revisions... it's a process of evolution here. :)

Let me know of any problems you encounter, I haven't actually tested this at all :p

Also, your email will not be given to anyone, the only purpose I have for collecting it is to keep people honest on thier location on the map.
And, if anyone wants to help make the site look nicer, I'd love to have a someone make a nice layout for it :)

Yeah, cause this is the new map, and it works on a completely new (and much better) database than the old map. Therefore, none of the old names are on it.
the old map is still here, but the new one is much better :)

<< i can't get it to work , or i don't know how to work it out >>



fill in your name and email, then click on the map where you live. In a minute, you'll get an email with a link in it. click on that link and it'll activate your position on the map, then you can view the map.

Cause last time, when I was using IP addresses, there was some guy who decided it would be fun to spoof his IP and cover the map with names like "YOU"RE ALL GAY FAGS" and "EAKERS - GIVE ME A BLOW JOB".

I don't want to deal with assholes like that, and this way I can just ban thier email addresses. I promise you won't get any spam. Your email address just sits in a file on my server, I won't even read it unless I need to remove you from the map for some reason.

It was fun...

OK, if that is the reason, I am in. But if I get even one more spam in my daily 1,285 spam letters, I am gonna be mad.


edit: so I do it and now my little red dot doesn't even show up... :(

You have to click the link in the email you get before you'll show up on the map.

Jfur, I've removed you from the database, you can add yourself again, on the right island this time :)
