| | Also could this by chance get added to the sticky links post? That would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. | |

| | Sean-Khan has this in his links in the other sticky too. But I'll sticky it here for a week or two as well to help get it going. | |

| Thank you guys. I will be adding a link to Maxminis to my main page.
As far as breaking it down into countries. It is something I would def consider doing in the future if the activity of the boards dictates it. For now I would like to see how the International section goes and take it from there. No doubt there will be activity, but maybe not enough for certain coutries to have their own section. If one country sees a lot of activity then I would absolutely make a seperate section for it.

| I have to admit though, and you may want to consider this. The database is less useful to people when it is not broken up into blocks of more managaeable geography.
Living in canada, my option (unless I missed smething) is to post in the North America section. This will not really help me locate players in my area.
I would suggest locating members in different countries and ask them how you could break some of the bigger sections into more friendly sizes. it's not neccesarily about naming each state/province, for example; i live in a very small province in canada. But the whole group of provinces around me is generally referred to as "Atlantic canada". This region includes four different provinces, and by at least being relatively local allows me to recognise some possibility in connecting with people who are not too far away.
Anyway, I'm just making suggestions, and I'm sure there is a practical reason this won't work. like the size of the sight and the difficulty one might have in navigating through it once it expands so far. Just my 2 cents. | |

| The problem with breaking the international section down is there is potentially limitless areas. While it would be nice it would also make the board about a mile long to scroll through. It is already long enough with the 50 states all having their own section.
Like I said though, I am open to anything. If there is enough activity from Canada then by all means I will create a section. For now, until there is substantial traffic, there shouldn't be any problems with the way it is set up now.
I am always open to suggestions though and I do appreciate your concern. It is something I thought about also and will keep an eye on it.

| | Another thing, you don't have DC listed, sure it's not a state but it should count. I actually live in Arlington, VA but would probably be included in DC, or would like to look out for DC area players. Thanks. | |

| | You are absolutely right. Will be adding a DC section. | |
