So should we start a fierce battle to stay on the map? Once we’ve been bumped, we race back and re-add ourselves? ---

Well, I signed and pinned myself into Georgia, next to **Labdad** , but I was _really_ torn as to whethere I should place myself in Germany, since that is where I am **from**. In the end , I just mentioned that fact in the comments. Man, wouldn’t be cool if we could get all 39, 313 of us on a map and then have the pins _blink_? I know, I know: no monitor could handle it. 😉 Q ---

I think if you pay their premium price you can get up to 200 pins or something. I don’t remember. I had considered it at one point but decided against it. ---

If you pay something like $9 a month, you can get up to 1,000 pins. Not really worth it, I think. ---

Nah, it’s not **karomon** , but thanks for the invite. It was fun. Can we still list as many comments as we want without a premium, or does that carry a limit as well? I was just thinking that even if we couldn’t place our pins, we could still scroll through the list and find out where everyone’s at. Thanks Q ---

I tried to get my pin pushed into L. A. County, but the position that the map gave it appears more near Fresno, where an aunt of mine lives. I live in Gardena, in L. A. County. ---

I’m in Fort Worth but my pin is in the Panhandle over 300 miles away. Oh, well, at least it is still in Texas. This is really a neat idea **Karamon**. ---

Hopefully my flag is placed on or near Redding, CT. It was blurry zoomed so I hope I didn’t hit Manhattan. Great concept. 🙂 ---
