.gif "Axle's picture") July 24, 2008 - 12:19pm | Hey all, I mentioned a few weeks ago in another topic that it's hard to maintain excitement in a game that you never get to play, never mind how much you love it. To address that issue, I took it upon myself to create a Frappr map for Star Frontiers. If you are not familiar with Frappr, it is sort of a poor man's Google Earth, but with topic- or hobby-specific maps. People put pins on the map according to where they live, and they can communicate with each other within the Frappr site to network with locals who share their interest. Although the site requires you email address, it is only used to alert you when someone on Frappr has left you a message. All person-to-person communication is solely within the Frappr message service, so your identity and email are safe from spammers. Anyway, this is a tool that some of us might want to use to get together in person for some SF. If you are interested, here is the link: http://frappr.com/starfrontiers I, Mr. Axle, BOING, can do all for you. |

July 25, 2008 - 12:20am | I went to add myself to the map and found it just said "image unavailable". Hmm... Not sure what's going on there... The only thing I can think of is if you have any scripts disabled for that site. Is anyone else having problems? I, Mr. Axle, BOING, can do all for you. |
 July 26, 2008 - 2:10am | Yeah. Same thing here. No background map. |

"Drawing up strict, senseless rules for the sole reason of putting you at the top and excluding anyone you say doesn't belong or fit in, for no other reason than just because you say so." —Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stephens, Federation |
July 27, 2008 - 1:50am | I started getting some blank spots in the map myself. I changed the map settings from a satellite image to a traditional map. It seems to work better now. The map is Flash-based, so updating your Flash player might be necessary to view it. Good call, Will. I, Mr. Axle, BOING, can do all for you. |
