I just thought it would be interesting where the users of this forum are coming from. :)
Maybe the question should be: Where do you live? mhm... (:
(sorry for not mentioning antarctica ^^)
edit:
(and sorry for canada - you have to choose north america xD)
edit2: you don't have to post. just vote. it's anonymous. (:
edit3: there is a limitation to 10 points on a poll. so sorry again for not being able to seperate more. :/
edit4: europe west should be europe CENTRAL (:

you can only have a maximum of 10 possibilities :(
i wanted to seperate more... but no chance, sorry... :/
so i thought to do it for all 7 continents... but in antarctica there are way too few people...
so i added 6 continents... and divide europe in 4 pieces and north america in 2 pieces to get my 10 possibilities in total...
would be great if there wouldn't be a limitation to 10 points ^^
15 would be perfect ;)

Moved to off-topic, as x61 pointed out it is very redundant to one of the features of the forum already.
Also, just to be pedantic: Canada and Mexico are part of North America, Australia shoud've been Oceania, and usually Europe is split as Central, Northern, South and East...

Moved to off-topic, as x61 pointed out it is very redundant to one of the features of the forum already.
as you can see (if you open your eyes) some people haven't edited their profiles to show where they're coming from but they have voted here. (maybe because they are too lazy or they want to do it anonym).
is there actually a way of seeing the procentages where people are coming from in this forum with data they provided in their profiles?
Also, just to be pedantic: Canada and Mexico are part of North America, Australia shoud've been Oceania, and usually Europe is split as Central, Northern, South and East...
pendantic... you hit the nail on the head ;)
i know that mexico and canada are part of NA. the thing with canada was only a joke related to the current olympic icehockey duell between canada and usa. ^^
sorry for australia... i just wanted to keep it short... and here in germany the term oceania (Ozeanien) isn't that common. most of us will just say australia (Australien).
ok... point for you ;)
then is my west your central :P
