We should build a density map of where all SL users are and organize some meets based on that.

I actually already wrote a web application that did this for another forum. Maybe I'll bring it back.

Got one going here https://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=2151310

Seems good enough, added my own.

The original script asked for their username, took their IPv4 address, queried an API for information about it, got the approximate location, and added it to the map. I was having alot of issues with there being no city so it just plotted the exact center of the country. In those cases, I went in and manually mapped it.

Haha, thanks for the recommendation, but I specifically avoided that functionality because it was too accurate. I didn't want to make it incredibly simple for everyone to find out another member's place of residence!

That's easy to defeat. With a geocode you usually have a format you can play with. If not, the API usually has limits you can set
