Regarding the map, maybe we should give prizes (ok, just pats on the back) to the most northern, most southern, and most remote GMC members.

A prize for actually having an Internet connection and being capable of downloading Game Maker?

EDIT: By "remote", I mean geographically.

But how do you define 'remote'? Even the U.S. has remote, or exclusive, areas. And Australia is pretty remote to me.

Not by mental acuity.)

Yes - well, I do feel like I'm on an island, sometimes.

Why are people posting in random places in the oceans, are those islands?


People might click their location from a really low zoom level and might accidently click ocean.

I only see one who's truly in the ocean: Losties (likely a joke). The other one is Shiritt, who's on the island of Corvo. Zoom in to see.

I meant greatest distance from another GMC member. Right now, that title goes to DavidL. Second place goes to Shiritt.

Well I'm out of that one; spent the whole of today and yesterday with about 1.2kb/sec download speeds. It estimated about eleven hours to download the Doctor Who theme tune (not counting the times it freezes or cuts out altogether). Two percent so far... gonna leave it on overnight and see what happens.

How do you load websites? :lol:
The same happened to me when i was using a 3G internet modem.. they suck badly.. but i was able to pull it to 15-30 kb/s at times, so it was bearable.

Ah... I see your internet service uses the latest technology: CPwUSB (carrier pigeon carrying a USB memory stick).

The map shows one member located in China... but I'm pretty sure he's British. :whistle:

Actually, the GMC might have lots of Chinese members. But maybe they're too busy planning world domination to post.

Knowing China, the government probably has the GMC blocked anyway.
