Hey guys,

Something occured to me regarding the sharing of information. We all have the ability to show where we are under our user name, and I think its very helpful when we are discussing different topics (especially outdoor husbandry). I just wanted to urge all the sulcata members to at least share which state you are living in.

Thanks.

Some people are private. This forum allows you to share as much or as little info as you fell comfortable with.

I too, wish they would at least list their state. Also the kind of torts they have. Sometimes, you can't tell in their thread. You want to try and help them, but you have to ask them first to let us know what species they are talking about. I get the personal info, even if they don't want to list their city. However, the state at least would be nice. Kinda hard to find you with just a state listed, or country.

@ Len, we should get together some time for a beer and tort chat.

@ Wellington, I just feel like this country is so big that there are different tactics needed for different climate areas and knowing what state you are in goes a long way to helping.

I agree. Makes it much easier to understand what's going on and make recommendations we help is asked for.

Yes, I was agreeing with you. Duh:p :D. My location used to be in my signature. Had to make room so removed it. I will have to check now, maybe I don't have it listed at all now. However, I will check. Cause I agree, the state or country, not USA, that should be by state, but Canada, UK, etc should be listed.:D

It does help, a lot of the questions people ask here are relevant to their locations climate. I think it should be suggested although not required.

If I can be honest I think people feel like the mods who are the most helpful people on the forum (supposedly) know our location by IP address (which is logged by the forum). In which case they can be helpful. One thing to consider though when reading my post is that people that are knowledgeable that are NOT mods can not read our IP address. That is all. Just answering your thread question. ;)

Lol I've herd that said a couple of times. I've lived here 30 of my 39 years and I can honestly and happily say I have never seen the kkk around here. Maybe it's cause I live in a small town. When I lived in Mississippi and Florida now that's a different story. The south what can you say. Well the clan marched through Indianapolis once down Martin Luther King bvd. They weren't welcomed by any means. They had to have tons of state police to March with them to keep them safe. If you ever do come back to Indiana sounds like you should steer clear of martinsville. Lol
