    The internet universe (it's awesome).

    Just thought I'd share this link I came across on another forum. If it's from Reddit, there's a couple of things I'd like to say:

    1) I don't go on Reddit, and so wouldn't know if this originated from there.

    2) Call the cops; I don't give a ****.

    If it isn't, then you'd do well to disregard the previous statement. Just click the link, and marvel at how cool it is.

    That's pretty nice idea, the maps nice..............but doesn't seem like every single website though, I would expect that to be much more detailed and crazy to search through

    I'm sure some internet maps have been done before on XKCD, very detailed ones too. However, they are terrestrial style ones and in my opinion just as good if not better than this universe one - it's still pretty funny though

    Here are the links - the files are too large to upload.

    (They are actual maps of online communites rather than the internet as a whole, but see if you can find TSR anyway )

    It kind of blows my mind to see all of the different countries on there. China is yellow, Japan is purple, if you put them together they are bigger than the English speaking internet :eek:
