Where are all the iboaters from?

[NelsonQ]

I'm new to these forums and have noticed a wide range of users from around the world. Just interested where everyone is located currently.

I'm a Canuck and just wondering how many other Canucks are iboat members and also, what is the other makeup of users of these forums.

Just a question of interest.

I left out Antartica as I know some folks may travel there by boat, but most likely aren't from there

Re: Where are all the iboaters from?

You may not see too many from Australia/Asia.... iBoats blocks direct access to their site from these countries We can only get here by using 'masking' software... Makes the site think we are from somewhere else... They say it's because that get hit by Chinese spammers, but no other sites have blocked my access for this reason. Go figure???

Chris..........

P.S.... You have 'North America - USA', 'North America - Canada' and 'North America - Other'... Other than Canada and the US, what other country is there in North America???? (Don't say Mexico or the Caribbean states... they are officially Central America). And where's South America????? I know we have Brazilian and Chilean members....

I put North America-USA because that is where I am usually from (now), but I am heading back to Africa on Monday for a short stay and there was a time when I spent more time in Ghana than in the USA.

NA Other was for Mexico as it officially part of NA. But you're right, I forgot about South America (sorry, I didn't mean to offend those in the Southern hemisphere.) Trying to find out how to edit the darn poll.

UPDATE: Can't change the poll so if you are from South or Central America, please add a thread comment. My apologizes for the screwup...

I've looked on the internet and it's about 50/50 for Mexico being part of NA or CA(not California)....

I don't disagree, I'm basing it on the NAFTA agreement (North America Free Trade Agreement) in place to remove barriers of international trade.

Canada, USA, and Mexico are the 3 participants. But then again, I'm basing this on gov't legislators.

I only get to vote once in the real life elections OOPS, and in Germany, its called taxation, without representation. They take my money, but ...

So Germany doesn't count.

As aspeck said, we are only allowed one vote in this one, no multiple choice, so it is a no-brainier for me. North America - USA!

Re: Where are all the iboaters from?

Well I count 4 posts from Cnds. here but only shows 2 on the poll graph.

As much as some folk don't like the idea, Mexico is/has been a part of North America since before they were driven out of Texas/California. Sorry! I didn't make the world Atlas.

Just to really get in trouble, there's one particular Eastern Province, I wish would get taken over.

Hailing from the Las Vegas valley, 20 minutes from Lake Mead.

Re: Where are all the iboaters from?

The good end of the Okanagan Valley, BC (Sorry Oops....)
3 minutes from Okanagan Lake + 5 minutes from Kalamalka Lake = Spoiled.

Although, I am somewhat like aspeck in that I rotate regulary in and out of Salt Lake City, Utah for work.

Oakland, CA, USA
Vernon, BC, CA
Belize City, Belize, CA

Re: Where are all the iboaters from?

Sorry Yar, but admitting you live in Vermin is like the guy above admitting to living in Surrey.







(but then I'm in Rutland)

Oh, And you forgot that CA also stand for Chartered Accountant (of which I am one).
