Well, so much for trying to hook up with any of the users anywhere near me. I searched the TG community map for the 20 or so members on the map that are in my general area and not one seemed to have ever even engaged on the website ever. No posts, no profile, no nothing, just a user name. And many of the user names seem like they may have been created by bots or something, like they are randomly generated characters. I suppose these could all be people that took the time to sign up on TG's website but never actually logged on and did anything.

I know this is a work in progress and there are plans to improve this and add functionality to this, and I'm all for it, can't wait! Might there be some way to weed out or filter those that have never been active on the site? I'm not sure what the deciding filter factor would be, never logged on? Not logged on in the last 6 months? Maybe this map could be an opt-in feature, then we'd known that members are interested in being found or connecting with other members. This would weed out the dead accounts.

I guess from my perspective, I can't see by looking at these peoples profiles whether or not they have ever logged on or watched any of the videos or anything. I can see that none of them have ever posted anything in the forum or put anything in their profiles. Doesn't necessarily mean they might not want to connect, I'm just say, they might be dead accounts.

Great work as always! Love all the features.

Wow! I was really very surprised to see so many here on Oahu! It would be great if they would all join us here in the forum or something. I'd love to get together and have some jam sessions.

I'm still not there but I think I might know one that is.
