FYI that people CAN update their profile to show their country/state/location information in their profile, but it doesn't appear to show to the left. Can we turn that option on?

Michigan - I also don't know anyone who shares my hobby. Most people think I am silly.

I was trying to get a 4 Player D&D cab down my stairs and asked some friends for some help moving "something heavy". When they got there to help they said "Why in the world are you wasting your time moving this down there...just throw it in the garage or something."

But even with my game console collecting, most of the people that I know either think it's silly because of how old the games are, or they say stuff like "Why not just use an emulator instead?" LOL

We have a *LOT* of members from Continental Europe, but no options, you may want to revise the poll

Yeah my family and friends think I am crazy also..."Why are you wasting your time on that nonsense?" "I cant believe that you would waste your hard earned doll~...Hey is that Donkey Kong?" I get those remarks all the time...

Ive learned alot here over the years being a member of BYOAC and im learning more and more each day... I had a couple of buddies catch the bug... but they dont want the hassle of learning the "hobby"...when they ask me for advice, i give them the best i know, but im still a noob...or either im too busy dealing with other things outside the hobby...(wife, kids, work, etc)

But what will all our members from Ireland, Iceland and Malta choose? And then there's Cyprus - I know we have a ton of members there.

Just being funny, but perhaps simply 'Europe' would be a more inclusive choice of words.

I'm in Dallas, TX

RandyT · « **Reply #12 on:** February 03, 2011, 04:30:31 pm »

I'm in NY. If there is any pattern I can discern from our customers, it seems like the only real area, from the places we ship to, that seems to be underrepresented is what you might call the "deep south". We get a good mix from just about everywhere else in the states and in Europe. I would guess that most of them know about and frequent BYOAC, even if they never post.

California, I started a member map over at my site a few months ago and it seems the costal states are more into emulation.

Just to let you know, it's pretty much impossible to offend the Irish. We've usually come out with something far more offensive about ourselves before you've even gotten to the end of the sentence!
