The community has been growing a lot, as we inch towards the release of Destiny I don't expect that to stop. So it's time to start mapping the progress of Bungie's world domination once again. The following is copy and pasted from dmbfan09's thread on the old site..
After replying to [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=42600895]this thread[/url] last week I thought to myself, "we need an updated map of the progress of Bungie's world domination." So, I decided to start up a [url=http://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=154178]Bungie Community Map[/url] where the members of Bungie.net can mark their location and we can see how far Bungie's "reach" currently stretches.
This has been done before quite a few years ago, and it worked out well. [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=5184319]VII Toast[/url] (and shortly after [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=5889087]AJAQ[/url]) created a Frappr map and had quite a few markers all over the world. Sadly, Frappr is now [url=http://platial.typepad.com/news/2010/02/geographic-euthanasia-the-end-of-platial-as-we-know-it.html]dead[/url] and I don't know if anybody downloaded the data. If anybody happened to grab the data prior to it being deleted, I can upload the file and update the new map.
To add yourself to this map, all you have to do is click on the "Additions" menu at the top of the screen and select "Add Marker". All you now have to do is fill in the information in the dialog box. If you don't wish to put in your [b]actual[/b] City/Postal Code for "security" reasons, you can at least select a nearby City/Postal Code so we could get a reasonable representation. You can also go to the "Media" tab of the dialog box and add a picture of you/your avatar if you wish, but keep it clean (I'll delete any inappropriate images I see).
Anyway, I would love to see how close to Bungie [i]really[/i] is to world domination. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
PS: I was going to try Google Maps, but that seemed a little too "open" for people to screw with.
Edit: To make it a little more visible (per Qbix's suggestion), here is the only link in this thread that really matters:

Edited by TopWargamer: 6/29/2014 6:41:04 PMAh yes, the good ole Bnet map. Great to see it coming back to life (although it technically never really died). EDIT: Finally added myself to the map. Can't believe I didn't do this already. :p

I'm surprised a new version hasn't been created considering the number of usernames that have been changed since the site update.
-
Really cool idea. I'm on it :)
-
It's been a long time since I've seen this. Still pretty lonely in the Pacific.
-
The sooner we launch people into the sun with a giant slingshot, the better...
-
I think I did this with Toast or AJAQ, but just so everybody new knows, the western New York part of the world belongs to me when the stuff hits the fan :)
-
It's back!

Looks as though we've got the oceans covered.

Haven't seen this in a long time, it's awesome how diverse the b.net community is.
