Tankers where are you?

Top marks to the admin team. Seems like the votes are in and the figures speak for themselves.
Matt - Would love to see the gallery link search system that I saw implemented, would be a great way to showcase models?
Interesting little tool that I found:
http://urlm.co.uk/www.rctankwarfare.co.uk
You can just type in the name of whatever site you like and see all the stats about it.
The next question is of course...where are all of those tanks in the uk?, it would be great to see those interested in the hobby coming along to meets etc.

I wonder if we had a members map, made private for members only to view so we could see where they are?
Not an exact postal code location but a 'rough' idea.
Be good to get some more local meets going, perhaps setup a county wide section on the forum for meets?

Here's another idea - how hard/expensive is it to make the forum compatible with tapatalk? The reason being is that you can upload photos to the forum without having to use photobucket or other hosting sites.
It's something the Tamiya club forum do and I upload my photos from tapatalk.
Thoughts?

On another forum (no tank related) we used links like this:
https://www.google.nl/maps/@53.2525274, ... a=!3m1!1e3
That's the small village where my tank is.

I would love to see how these sites generate their statistics as they are always way off
In the last month our pageviews are 165,000 and 25,000 unique visits
I'm not sure how far Matt got with the gallery system but he's super busy at the moment with work and life so I wouldn't expect it any time soon.
For a location map we could use what Darkas suggested:
https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid= ... sp=sharing
Of course it is open to abuse but have a play with it and let me know if it's suitable.

I've just added Tapatalk support to the forum, it should hopefully be a lot nicer for mobile users as I know the site looks like crap on phones.

That's great - I'll search for it in tapatalk.
The main reason is that phone cameras are so good now that you can upload pics straight from phone/tapatalk to the forum!

Interesting data Scooby, for a hobby site this one is right up there.
Tell Matt to get his work life balance in order, work on the hop ups for the site, his life will be fulfilled.
Just need to find out where all those tankers are hiding now....
