Is there an API where a list of active users can be queried, say by surnames? Is there significance behind the coordinates of Maps? Are they similar to zip codes?

API that lists active users.... With over 60k users online... Why? (o.o)

And, the coords are the X/Y/Z position on the map in meters. While not a definite 'ZIP code' by any means, it's a great way to get a clue of where you're about to land at the end of that TP... Especially the third number... The Z dimension... You can ID skyboxes pretty quickly that way. (^_^)y

Maybe even get a list of users with the same last name as mine would be fine for now.

Adz maintains a website with this list... But, no online information. (^_^)

Anyway... It's a fun icebreaker to meet someone with the same surname randomly. One thing I noticed about the Sideways clan... Buncha' screwballs I tall ya'. (^_^)

And, note, according to that site... Yours is the second most common surname on the grid at the moment. (^_^)y
