Title: Membership Database
Post by: ScottM on September 19, 2005, 06:11:29 PM
I finally scrolled all the way down and found "The Forge - Info Center", which contained (among other things like who's online) the Membership Database.  Unfortunately, the field that interests me-- location-- is not displayed, nor is it among the searchable fields.

Is there a way to include location in the fields reported?  Or is there another way to get that information... say using a constrained google search of some sort?  [I'm thinking access to this could help replace the "finding local Forge gamers" threads that used to pop up on Connections until that was put to an end.]

Thanks,
Scott

Putting in

"new jersey" site:http://www.indie-rpgs.com/forum/index.php

will get you pretty close, but it's not perfect. Obviously, you'd have to search the actual state/country name as well as its abbreviation. And not everyone enters their location.
