Here's a thought, you have a list of where everyone is located. Could you have a graphical map (probably something like an embedded googlemap) that would show Pins or some other marker of where we are all located?
I'm sure most of us just used either the closest main city, or at least didn't put our exact address in the user info. But, in any case, give the user the option to turn on "Show on Map" or something similar.
Could come in handy when we want to know if someone is close by that we might check in with to see if trading or help could be given.
 
Pete changes his address to Kazakhstan

Actually, why didn't this idea ever go anywhere? It like died ???
 
Thats why the user would have the option to turn on. It would be off by default. Then the user could select the level of location.

Or, the map would only show numbers of users in that state/country/providence. or color coded areas
 
*nod* We don't expect things to be done in 24hrs. We know you're just 1 man. So, instead, I'll give you 25hrs :p

Why don't you run a poll to gauge interest?
 
Honestly, I have very little interest in a map, as such.

BUT... I wish more members would fill in some sort of location info in their profile.
That would provide an occasionally important context to go with their remarks.
Whether making location a mandatory part of registration is too severe, I don't know. Maybe an occasional auto-message to those with a blank location field.
I think there ought to be some sort of encouragement to folks to put some info there.
If some choose to enter Utopia or Never-never land, I'm not bothered, they had their chance.
But having an idea if their situation is tropical or polar, urban or outback, America or Azerbaijan, even Northern or Southern hemisphere (ie summer or winter) might lead to them getting a higher proportion of helpful replies!
 
THis won't be happening in the near future sorry - other things planned :)
 
Hmmm, been almost a year. I still like this idea.
