I saw a partial discussion on this.. as to how many members are in AK.. but i know not what thread it was...
WHY? isn't it a prerequisite to have your home state on the profile. given the many members and the comment i saw that APX 50% of the members are in Alaska.
given a few things... that many folks give advice about hunting and fishing up here... and spend limited time.
given the rep system that allows credibility to the posting memeber...
given the many myths( especially about bears) perpetrated by members. would it not create a more credible post if the new members KNEW where the advice was coming from... granted many folks living out side have many years in AK and use the forum as a way to stay in touch. however, there is still a lot of well intentioned poor information given out that is constantly being corrected by the more experienced members.
we hear a lot about maintaining the credibility of the site and the advice given. i feel having your home state in your location would be a valuable part of that. and IP addresses are easy to check.. also limiting one log in per address would alleviate some of the different monikers... unless requested for multiple family members.
