Hey, I like this one. Maybe we should have some sort of a vote after more people submit ideas?

Robots.txt will stop google bots and the like, but Chinese crawlers often ignore it, for example. Should our site be off limits to search engine crawlers? Cause yeah, that would stop most of the big ones.

Why would we want to have it off limits? This ain't anything secret, is it?

*shrug* I'll go with what the community consensus is. A couple people seemed to be concerned about privacy, so it's a part of the discussion.

Hey guys, we have a working site! Let's call it version 0.18. It's basically just a map that shows you the path contre has entered that the Yeti will be travelling down. Whenever a new person is added or a location changes, the path map changes dynamically. And I should say "will enter", because right now I've just got coordinates that 7 people have sent to me that I've been using for testing purposes. The path is not in the right order at all, contre is going to have to set that up, so for now I am not going to share the link with you. It could misinform and such, especially if somebody doesn't understand the context and just sees the map.
Coordinates have been collected from the following people so far: contre, me, Valka, BirdJaguar, peter grimes, Plotinus, JoanK, and dutchfire. Anyone not on this list who wants to pass them on - please send them to contre from now on. Thanks to the magnificent 7 for your support
Followtheyeti.com is taken, unfortunately, it's been registered (but not used).. so we need something else. I have a placeholder url, but a unique url would be cool, and they are cheap.. and like I said previously, I don't mind paying for it for a year or two or whatever. We could go with followtheyeti.org, I think that is available, but a .com would be cooler. Oh and if someone shares a good idea, please don't all start searching for it using godaddy.com or other sites like that! If enough people search the same domain, this will pop up on a douchebag's radar, and the domain could be snagged. There is a whole and crazy domain snagging world out there... so watch out for that please.
If anyone's wondering about privacy, nothing at all is sent back to google servers, but the coordinates on the map are technically available to anyone. So that's the only real security concern for now: whatever coordinates are displayed on that map will be available to anyone on the internet, if they can find their way to the url, and eventually search engine bots will index the site, so it will start showing up on search engines. So that's the only thing you've got to keep in mind in terms of privacy. It doesn't seem like a big deal to me, I think you guys all get that if you use a secret location where you've buried gold, that anyone will be able to right-click, "view source", and look at the exact coordinates where your loot is buried... but privacy came up earlier, so I thought I'd talk a bit about it.
I'll be doing the map entries tomorrow.
I dig yetiworldtour.com but I'm okay with anything really.
Does the yeti have a name?

Ignatius
Nah, he looks like a Clarence.
Oh hey, the generalized coordinates for Butler, MO:
38.258715 / 38 15' 31.37" N (this be latitude!)
-94.334982 / 94 20' 5.93" W (this be longitude!)
I had suggested whereintheworldistheyeti.com to warpus but it was deemed too long to be practical

Yay my proposal is supported by contre himself. Bow to me, you pitiful underlings!

But it's what will be on all our minds!I had suggested whereintheworldistheyeti.com to warpus but it was deemed too long to be practical
Clarence is a real name. I never heard of whatever that other one is.Sounds too much like Sterrance.
I don't remember any yeti being part of any Christmas story.
