I dont know if this exists yet or not, but I think it would be a cool idea. I dont have the expertise to put it together, but maybe in a few months someone with some more programming or whatnot skill will be able to pull something together.

I was thinking of something map-ish to see what other bp.net members and other herp related businesses, etc are located. I think it would really help people find more stuff locally, which would help out the local econ, make things easier on the buyer and just reassure everyone that the community is still keeping in contact. Even if a map didnt work, maybe even a list of members and organizations for a certain region would work out. For instance, I live in Michigan (Southern for the summer, Lansing/Central area for the remainder), so I could start a list something like this, and as people around me see it, they could add to it.

I dont know if this is just a bad idea or if I am on to something, let me know. I know we have a vet list already going as a sticky, so I suppose those could be left out. I think this would be useful, especially for possible hard to find stuff or advice. We could stick everything together like I have above, or maybe make a few categories for diff threads etc.

Let me know what you all think.
