    DaH Map: Help me with cartography

    considering a "hole" in the plate, you might want to take a cue from divergent plate boundaries, like the great big one in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, where there is a fairly constant, though slow, flow of magma out of it onto the ocean floor. Basically, a hole in a continental plate would...

    What do folks of regions call themselves?

    Since we were sticking to what the residents call themselves, I neglected to mention that Michiganders of the Mitten (not Yoopers, Mittenites) are sometimes called Trolls by the Yoopers. They live under (south of) the Mackinac Bridge.

    New Thread and Forum Icons in Default style

    just to throw my opinion into the mix, I'm finding it harder to differentiate between the different icons than before. There seems to be less variation (what used to be folders and arrows is now all globes) and the icons themselves tell less about what they mean than before. Now I either have to...

    How real is your fantasy?

    Well, the various regions of my fantasy world have some analogies in our world and I'm trying to match them up with populations. However, since I'm mixing up certain things, one can't really point to my fantasy world and say, this accurately represents a specific earth era. Yes. Yes, at least...

    What's the Deal with MUDs/MUSHs/MUXs?

    AdAware changes your homepage to MSN?

    um, that's strange. I've never had AdAware do that to me. As for running Firefox, I reccommend it.
