Bassplayer Calling Upon All Overclockers to Map Your Location!
When we launched HWBOT X at the end of November, it was our hope that overclockers from around the world would find it a useful tool to gather and enjoy overclocking together. Bassplayer immediately jumped to action and looked for fellow Chicago based overclockers to have a small meet up. It turned out that it's not so easy to figure out who is living in your neighborhood!
In a thread on the forum, Bassplayer imported a Zeemaps map of the world. You can add your location to the map and see if there are perhaps people living in your area you could share an overclocking session with. You can choose how detailed you want to be in providing your location information. So far there are about 50 markers on the map, mostly in North America and Europe.
xxbassplayerxx dit :
I created a map to help overclockers find each other! I know there have to be other people in or around Chicago that want to meet up and bench and I'm sure there are other people thinking the same thing...
Map your location with your HWBot/forum name and add the forums that you frequent and can be contacted through.
Let's get some awareness and some benching parties! :celebration:
Editable map here.
EDIT: Removed USA from title. Anyone can add him (or her ) self.
marc0053 dit :
Since USA needs Canadian guidance for almost every situations, I added my Canadian address
I can bring Tim Horton's Coffee and Moose meat pies!
Random dit :
added
I was just thinking about how much I wanted something like this.
there don't seem to bee hardly any peeps in the southwest for me to bench with//T.T
xxbassplayerxx dit :
Canadians are welcome to participate as long as they bring Tim's when they come to meets!
GtiJason dit :
Nice, I'm on the map
Rasparthe dit :
Always up for a meet in Northeast. Need more of this sort of thing.
xxbassplayerxx dit :
@Massman, wanna embed the map in the OP for me? I added the code to do so.
Splave dit :
in east coast best coast
xxbassplayerxx dit :
aka "UR MOMS HOUSE"
funsoul dit :
Nice! Can't wait to see when more people add themselves. Gotta be more folks in the ny/nj/pa area.
Thanks for getting this together bass
Btw...what's the xx on both sides of your nick? Do you only slappa when nekkid? Played the soundtracks for those 70's adult films? Only play at those special CES/AVN parties?
xxbassplayerxx dit :
I was "straight edge" when I created my online persona back in the day... no drinking, drugs, etc. I still stay away from drugs but I drink like a fish these days :celebration: I hadn't intended to use the xx when I joined OCN, but regular ol' Bassplayer was taken. The guy never made a post and I asked the tip tops at OCN if they could deactivate his account and pass it over to me but that request was met with a resounding no
Gunslinger dit :
durty south rulz
der8auer dit :
That's pretty cool! What about a global OC Map?
xxbassplayerxx dit :
Feel free to add yourself. Just updated the name and map to be more universal. Come one, come all!
lanbonden dit :
Added a marker on the right side of the big pond
Mr.Scott dit :

Moonman dit :
Hello there
Massman dit :
Yup done.
God, hideous advertisement!
Lays dit :
Lies!!
@xxbassplayerxx I added myself, only a simple one for my city & state tho.
Edit; hey bassplayer can you possibly fix mine? I'm in salem oregon, I forgot to put the forums I frequent.
If you could add them that'd be great, not sure if you can?
Here are the forums I frequent: Linustechtips / OCN / HWBOT / KPC
Bones dit :
Same here - Forgot to do that before subbing the marker. If you could simply delete it I can redo the marker later with the info I needed to put in it myself.
GENiEBEN dit :
Added, will be a nice thread to watch.
Massman dit :
First marker in the East from me
Strong Island dit :
it gave me a url at the end where I can edit it for myself, if you have that you can change or add anything you want.
added myself for Long Island, NY, this is a really cool idea. I'm moving to a new house soon with a pretty big garage and room so it would be nice to get together and bench.
xxbassplayerxx dit :

EDIT: @Bones

@coolhand411, you're that close to Chicago? How about a small bench gathering after the new year? @TheGoat Eater, @Deux, @GtiJason, @filmbot you guys interested?
coolhandluke41 dit :
sounds good xplayerx
xxbassplayerxx dit :
Got the mention right now... Cool. I may try to plan something small in the near future. Lots of stuff popping up right now so I'll try to pick a weekend and bounce it off you guys.
GtiJason dit :
Sounds good to me, just let me know when
filmbot dit :
I'm definitely in :celebration: Earlier in the year the better due to class load.
xxbassplayerxx dit :
I have a few weekends in mind... gotta figure out what's going on with my life first as I may be moving back to Louisville within the year. I should be able to post some dates after the weekend of the 8th.
Thinking the weekend of 1/22, 1/29, 2/1, 2/8 or any time in March atm.
filmbot dit :
FYI, I'm a no go for the weekends of 22nd and 29th.
xxbassplayerxx dit :
2/1 or 2/8 seems to be leading atm, then.
GtiJason dit :
Work it out with the rest of the guys, I will make whatever date chosen work cause I'm cool like that
Bruno dit :
Nice idea! Added myself.
varachio dit :
Added!
Trouffman dit :

0ld_Chicken dit :
My first time in the hwbot forums, was told about this thread on another forum so I thought I'd drop by and add my location. Omaha, NE
Massman dit :
Any US based overclockers on the West Coast going to Vegas?
funsoul dit :
I won't be able to make Vegas Hoping for another summer get-together in the NY/NJ/PA area.
Strong Island dit :
Im on east coast, trying hard to get there, I can buy the plane ticket but I dont know what to do for a place to stay and transportation, might get too expensive.
I wish there was a bench house or something I can pitch in on. Even though it's west coast it feels so close not to go.
Massman dit :
We have an AirBNB for the overclockers at the PM Kick-off Party but that one's full.
There should still be some places available. Maybe some other people would also join in? @l0ud_sil3nc3?
BeepBeep2 dit :
Initially planned on making it to Vegas this year, things went quite awry a few months ago
I added myself to the map!
Shadyreaper dit :
I added myself to the map I see there are a couple of us here in FL
yosarianilives dit :
Added myself, nice to see some people within driving distance. Would be cool to do a meetup in the Chicago area for country cup.
niobium615 dit :
Added to the map. Looks to be a decent number of people in the NY area, nice to know.
SparkysAdventure dit :

dead thread lol
Bavor dit :

eviledeath dit :
I have located myself on the map even though I am not part of the American continent.
It would be good to centralize all the guys who spend a good part of their time at OC
