Happy Birthday (lately) for the 2 years of the french dojo ! yeah !
and here a dojo member map :
http://map.usagiyojimbo.fr/
You can click stickers to have details, zoom in and out, switch to satellite view to see where other people live or Stan goes.

Sensei

Con

Daimyo and upper Rank

Hatamoto & Shinobi

Shugyosha
if you are not on the map (or see error on your location) it is not because i don't like you
I have just started this, all profile are not complete (location is often missing...), and there are 1198 dojo Members, you don't really believe i can add everyone...
but just tell me and i will add you

(of course if half of the members ask it will take time...)
So if you know an internet map with auto-registration it would be a better solution than this.
I hope you will enjoy.
Thankyou!

Oh, wow! That's cool, man! Thanks!
Man, I'm the only one in Arkansas. No wonder Usagi comics are so hard to come by around here...

I think this is such a cool idea! Too bad so many of the Dojo members never listed an actual location when they registered for the forum.
Is there any way to also post a special pin for the various publishers of Usagi from around the world?
It would also be neat to post a link to this map from the front page of the Dojo, if possible.

Very nice
My position needs tweaking a little, but I'm sure I'll figure out how to let you know where to shift it to...

Uh... so I'm supposed to be a Hatamoto or a Shinobi ? So much for social promotion.
Actually, my position too would need a little switch (and Guy Davis' too : poor guy, he's living in the middle of the Michigan Lake

), but I don't wanna reveal my exact location.
Maybe that means I'm a Shinobi.

I really like that; it looks a little like we're trying to conquer the world, though....
Well, being a German I'm a little uneasy with that;
But an excellent idea, Fanfan

I'm actually located in Sarnia, Ontario so it looks like Im really far away.
Very cool job Fanfan.

Thanks to you all my friends ! i am glad that you like the idea.
So new icons :

for the publishing house, Steve can you send me the list of the publishers with their address if you do have ?
We can use instead this pin that is smaller :

or just standard pin :

just tell me what you prefer
I did not commented this one :

i used it for dojo member that are professionnal cartoonist (David Petersen send me his address, but i didn't dare ask M. Guy Davis to know where he lives exactly, and apparently Sergio Aragones is not registered here)
Mayhem you can PM your exact address if you want your position to be correct.
Too bad so many of the Dojo members never listed an actual location when they registered for the forum.
There is sometimes only the country (have a look to all our members from Norway...) or the state for american people (but is huge to place correctly someone on the map)
Ps : Cosmo, about your color, it is the UY.com member map but also UY.fr (i use the same rank notification than Todd : see there :
http://usagiyojimbo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1675 )
I really like that; it looks a little like we're trying to conquer the world, though.... Wink

*Points to Italy*
If we move our units from Switzerland into Italy and back them up with forces from France, we should be able to spread our Usagi message into the country quite easily...
All joking aside, that's a nice little project you've got going on Fanfan.

I'd LOVE to be added as the first in the Louisville Metropolitan area. (Georgetown, IN is just a few miles NW of Louisville.)
Call me silly, but I'd never seen this kind of map used for member sites before. I love it!

I updated a lot this map, but i see a lot of dojo members that are posting regularly that are still not on this map just because i don't have your location or perhaps i just missed you...
Please just reply to this post or pm me in order i add you
