Hi Guys this may be a stupid suggestion but I was reading the forum and one guy said that he knows another guy they hang out sometimes, and he fixed 3 of his VB’s for him. I got to thinking I wonder how close we live to one another. So what if we could register our addresses w KR155E under a location tab in our profile it of course would be confidential. And the site could tell us if there were any VB users within 100 miles of where we live. The address remains confidential and we could then choose to talk to that person via chat and get to know them better then one day when we get the link cable we might be able to get together and play a game or two. Just a suggestion I hope it’s not too foolish.

Even if I lived 10,000 miles from him, I would certainly want to hang out someday with the Dragon Hopper owner.

That’s a neat idea. The whole thing would need a bunch of privacy settings, but in general it should be very possible to implement using the Google Maps API.

I am wondering, who of you would make use of such a feature and enter their home addresses to find other VB fans near you?

I’d be up for this sort of feature as long as it was secure. I’d like to meet somebody like minded for some virtual boy gaming, my wife just don’t get it. Lol.

I wouldn’t suggest anything like this, I mean. Once you get to know someone, you can “talk” more and get to know them and then “hang out”, like you would in the real world… 90% of what happens here is on the grey side of the line (if you know what I mean), so count me out with giving a side my information or linking me to what we already due here.

But, if you guys end up doing something like that, good luck and god speed.
