Title: Bringing FS to Africa
Post by: Krackers87 on April 17, 2007, 12:40:05 pm
When looking at the world map showing where HLP's users log in from, i noticed theres a large section of africa where not a single person comes to this site.

We need to change this.

I say we rent a b-52 and drop flyers, old war propaganda style.

LOL I like how we have dots in the most random places, like, say, the mid-atlantic ocean (http://clustrmaps.com/counter/maps.php?url=http://www.hard-light.net&clusters=yes&type=small&category=plus&map=North%20America) where there's no land, and as far as I know, no internet.

There's also a distinct lack of access hits from Siberia. Hell, we even have hits from Mongolia and from the middle of the Amazon. :p

There are some interesting places on that map -- Senegal, Sudan, Ivory Coast, Guam, Canary Islands....

The Bermudas? It is inhabited you know?

The dot to the right of it is the Azores islands, it's inhabited also...

EDIT: damn you Admiral Nelson :p

That clustermap is wrong. According to it, I live somewhere near Rome. I live in the New Mafia Town instead, in the South. You can see a small red ball sometimes(I connect from my school).


Uhm, we send supplies...I paid about 70 Euros for people in Africa. We could include some copies of FS too. ;)

Can someone register http://scp.indiegames.us on that?  I'm curious.

Yah, he's currently fuming because he can't get his hands on a Meson bomb... and he's positively slobbering over the Lucy & Sathanas.  He's putting in a request to the Shivans for an arms deal.  Too bad for him he couldn't get Bosch's ETAK... sometime he'll realise that.

I would like to point out that the hole in Africa probably indicates a lack of ELECTRCITY and COMPUTERS more than a lack of Freespace.

Next person going to Antarctica, remember to log in!

Post by: Grizzly on April 18, 2007, 06:54:53 am
Err... Antartica doesn't have its own IP adress, Antartica is divided into a few territories, belonging to different countries, so you will probably show up at some kind of research center in new-zealand.

the korean one is probably Soal, it's RIGHT next to the border.

No, not your bad. *smacks everybody with a wet trout* The rest of the sentence was in English. Therefore, the spelling of the nation in question should also be in English.

But who's English?

British English? "The United Kingdom"

Canadian English? "Great Britain"

American English? "England"

Southern? "Inglaarnd"

or Australian English? "Englesend"

Next thing you'll be saying is that you think it was actually an0n who deleted half the forum a few years back on April 1, and not a badly done April Fool's joke by the admins :p
