I was looking at one of the American web sites and they listed the pins geographically from their members. I thought that this was an extremely valuable and very cool feature. The link is as follows:

I'm sure it would be valuable.....to thieves.  "Hey, I have $20K in machines in my house, stop on by!"

there all public locations...

You are right that the listings are for commercial sites, not members, I read it too fast the first time. I was thinking of having something like this in place for the members in the same way that we have listed our pins in another thread, instead of written it is visual, nothing more.

Encouraging someone to come in and try and steal a 200-300 lb machine may be a stretch but I understand your concern. Should we also remove the inventory thread based on that logic? I don't think so because that would not help out the MAACA members at all. To me, when I see a city or town I am not familiar with I always go to google maps to search out the location. This would help out just a bit. As far as I understand only the classifieds are available to nonmembers of MAACA.

Let's go a step further and suggest the commercial listing. I see many postings for where to play in Ottawa for example. I know that a pin map would make a difference for me when I visit our nation's capital.

That's my two cents of random thoughts for today  

Well that's obvious, now that you've pointed it out....

Never mind, move along.
