Local Breeder Database

So, what's the chances of adding a regions section and also getting a local breeder database? I have issues finding live feeders and knowing where some are around here would help me out along with other people who feed their herps live and don't have their own breeder colony. I can see it also working for the herps themselves for smaller companies trying to get bigger or just to compete with local stores and whatnot.

I think a Regional or even State directory would be a good idea. Even if it was not just breeders or businesses but Ball-Pythons.net members in general. It would make it alot easier to find other people in your area that share your interest in reptiles.

Either way works for me. Every forum I have ever been on had a regional section for local stuff like meets and whatnot.

I suppose for that, you could just set up a Frappr map?

That would be nice

I second this thought....

But yes a regional section would be sweet! I think it is a great Idea!

Well we need to get an admin to look at this and then make it. It can't be too hard to make since all of the other forums I have been on that use vBulletin has it. Here is a good example of what it could look like.

I see thats a BMW site for the 3 series cars. You own one? I've got a 325i I play with.

I think this is a good idea! --Josh

318Ti actually. It's a forum just for them.

Since everyone seems to think it is a good idea we need some admins to look into the idea to try and get more support for it or just get the general community to support it and show that it is a good idea and needs to be done.

Also, there have been over 130 views on this thread, if you think it is a good idea, just post saying "yay" or "nay" I would add a poll but can't.

Yay....sounds like a winner to me granted its up to the admin but Im sure if/when they have some time they may consider it.

Sounds like a good idea to me. :gj:

I am all for it

Love the idea! I need feeders and would love to know who is close to my area! :D

Thanks for the support and keep it coming.

great idea!!!

i'd even like to see a map of where herp. breeders are located. maybe its here somewhere and i didnt put in the correct search words

I think someone suggested that at the start of this, something about a frappr map or something.

sound like a good idea to me

i like the idea :)

Great idea. 'Yay' from me :D

If I were designing them, I would make a sticky on the top of each regional forum, that posts a list of breeders, privately owned reptile shops, and/or rodent suppliers in the region.

I love the idea! I'm out in Minnesota and I hope a feature like this could put me in contact with local breeders when I get more snakes next fall:D

There IS a Frappr map of site members.....I just have to find the CD w/"My Faves" on it. (I did a lot of Bp.net stuff from work, and saved all the breeder sites/frappr map/etc. onto CD before I left the company when laid off.) Gimme a chance and I'll get back to you.

This gets a "yay" from me!

Something like this would be good, as long as participation is optional.

To a certain extent, you can already see who is in your area by looking at a member's location (a few lines under their avatar). Many people have it either blank or set to something ambiguous "Location: Here", but it is available to those who want to share that info.

it doesn't have to show where members are, just what region they are in so they can talk about shows, find breeders, etc. It can be a general section, it would just make things easier.
