Default Were are you from.

I noticed that this forum is much more international then most others I have been too. I've seen people from Asia, South America even Africa. I think that's great and it got me curious to everyone else's origins. I'm from the Netherlands as you all probably know.

Well I voted Africa as I live South Africa, but I'm originally from Yugoslavia (Serbia - Belgrade) and my parents moved out here in Dec 1984 (When I was 8 ).

its always funny how all the forums i visit, the people there always say how surprised they are the forum is so multicultural, more so than any other forum.
Eventually the only forum left that isn't that multicultural would be a members-only KKK-forum.

Anyway I am, sadly, from belgium

Yeah.

I have been wondering about this too...

I also visioned a small rotating globe (for instance stolen from UFO Enemy Unknown) with a red dot in every location there lives a member. This dot could be bigger if there are several members living there.
This globe could for instance be placed in the Memberlist section, or in the forum index.

Maybe such an animation would be easy to make for our hot shots 3D animators... I'm looking at Stroggy (who, sadly, lives in Belgium) and Kosta (who is happy to live in Zagreb, even if they don't sell Danish Cookies in Croatia).
Of course, it would need to be small so it would both load quickly and fit on the site.

Multicultural on much of the internet is still region specific. Americans and Europeans occupy on section of the internet Asians another. Language is still a barrier for most. And believe me this forum is much more diverse then the last one I visited regularly (which was a Star Trek site not a KKK site).

I am from Athens, Greece... Im living almost 1km away from the Olympic sports center. Until sometime ago everyone here was running like crazy ( above the olympic center you could a see a cloud of dust at any time of the day! The buldozers etc were working day-night ). Now things have calmed, since the center is nearing completion. Anyway... As some problems are solved, others arise, so it is widely feared here about how things will be in 2 months, when the olympics will start... We shall see i suppose
