There is also a Russian member but he hasn't been back for a year or so, don't know if you want to include inactive members or not.
I am sure I remember at least 2 from Russia but I don't remember their names, I'll wait and see if and when we have an active member from Russia before adding it to the list.
Yeah probably not a good idea. I think the information should be as close you can get to being up to date. But it's Pi's thread so it's up to him.
Yes this is what I was thinking is to have a list of countries of the currently active members, not necessarily listing every last country we have ever had someone from.
But of course, but then the list will only be good for what ever last posting activity time frame is decided upon.
The list may eventually become outdated, there are some locations on the list where we have only one or two active members. Also LPF will outlive me, hopefully when I am gone, a moderator will take over maintaining this list or turn it over to someone who will.
I think it's reasonable to go by the time frame of the creation of the thread as a starting point. No need to be any more complicated than that.
Yes this is exactly what I am doing, right now we have at least one currently active member in each location on the list. The only way I am making it more complicated is that I am not always immediately adding a country to the list, right now there are recently new members in 4 countries not yet on the list. I am waiting to see if they will be back or not, at least one of them I think was just here to ask a question and get info. I will however immediately add a location to the list when someone posts in this thread.
One more thing I would like to repeat here, everyone is invited to post in this thread even if your location is already listed, this will give us all a better idea where the most of our active members are. You can just state the country by itself if you want, and also the province/state/territory, I am not adding cities to the list with the exception of those that have some special status such as being a federal district or something not part of another province/state/territory. Also anyone can post a photo of someplace near you, or an image of your flag, or a link to info about your country, or say a little about your country if you want.
One thing I must insist on is that any photos posted must be resized so as to not make that page unusable to some people, many people are using tablets and phones now, so keep the images to 800 pixels wide, I am mostly posting from a tablet so I immediately notice this.
The list is post #2 on the first page and I update it frequently. Thanks for reading and for posting.
