Museum of the Game® & International Arcade Museum® Forums

I am working on a number of site upgrades currently. One launching today is the addition of regional maps to VAPS that can be brought up for each state and major countries. The Google maps will show where our users are from.

View VAPS MAPS - States: http://www.arcade-museum.com/members/statistics/states.php

View VAPS MAPS - Countries: http://www.arcade-museum.com/members/statistics/countries.php

Notes:

- Only VAPS members will appear on the map. If a user is only a forum member, but not a VAPS member, that member will not appear (at least not at this time).

- In VAPS, a member can select to 'hide' their city. In such a case only their state name is listed when the public their VAPS page. Any members that have selected 'hide city' are being excluded entirely from the maps.

- To protect the privacy of our members, we are skewing the locations slightly. A member will show up on the map up to 3 miles from their actual location. Next time the map is loaded, they may show up at a slightly different location. The skewing factor isn't just random so someone can't just figure out a location by reloading enough times. "Dealer" VAPS members' locations are not skewed and show up accurately. There are less than 1/2 a dozen 'dealer' VAPS members.

- The map uses a different color icon (blue) for VAPS members that are also forum members, and a different color (gray) for VAPS members that have no games or want list items.

(This thread is starting out life here, and then getting moved to 'Announcements').
