Guest spacecowboy6982 Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 May i ask why the MoDaCo dude is wearing a USA flag on his jumper ! :shock: i know theres a few Americans on site but surely the majority are Brittish :) SpaceCowboy lol :(
Guest amo Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 He isn't is he, i thought it was a square with an M inside it. Incidentally, the resemblence between the MoDaCo dude and my house mate is uncanny. Straight down to the orange trousers (wish i was joking, really!)
Guest blewer Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 USA flag on his jumper I noticed that too! Looks good though :)
Guest JabbaTheSlut Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 I'm more worrried about the fact that he looks as if hes holding a P800!
Guest spacecowboy6982 Posted October 19, 2003 Report Posted October 19, 2003 I'm more worrried about the fact that he looks as if hes holding a P800! Lol - as Midnight said MoDaCo isn't just for SPV's.
Guest Firaas Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 May i ask why the MoDaCo dude is wearing a USA flag on his jumper ! :shock: i know theres a few Americans on site but surely the majority are Brittish :) SpaceCowboy lol :( AFAIK it's picking your location from your IP details and basing the skin on that. You're obviously therefore being shown the MoDaCo USA theme with the USA flag...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 Yep, that's a nod towards our US members, and the US guy will only display if your IP is identified as US. Of course, if you are transparently proxied via the US or something (like AOL users?), then you will see US MoDaCo Dude :) P
Guest spacecowboy6982 Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 Hehe - you beat me to it Paul - another nice feature though :) !! SpaceCowboy
Guest benzo Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 I don't want to have to see the modaco dude wearing a US hooded top. And isn't there a bigger Pinoy contingency here? Are they getting an equivalent Modaco dude?
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 Where are you actually located benzo? And where does http://smartphone.modaco.com/whereami.php say you are located? P
Guest benzo Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 I'm London based. I work for a Bermuda based company with a heavy US presence. I personally do not see the benefit of a modaco country specific dude. If I had to pick a dude... he would be EU-15 specific. My 2 eurocents worth :wink:
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 So much fuss over the MoDaCo dude! It is merely a nod towards our American Visitors, i'll add an option to switch it back to normal... :-) P Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest nickcornaglia Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 Sheesh! He's not wearing an "I Love America & Microsoft" hat like I had suggested...but what's the big deal? It's not political....it's a Smartphone site. Should the Pinoy ModacoDude look Pinoy? Should the French ModacoDude have a baret? Should the Scottish version wear a kilt? Speaking of that...can the Jamaican ModacoDude have dreads and a Rasta Hat?
Guest fraser Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 Brilliant. When I first read this topic, I didn't know about the locale specific stuff, and I thought the flag refered to the M looking a bit like the McDonalds logo. Which is pretty much the same as the stars & stripes! :wink:
Guest spacecowboy6982 Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 Should the Scottish version wear a kilt? Too right mate !!! I would pay for that !!! :) SpaceCowboy
