I maybe asking too much, but is there anyway the personals could be set up by state so you can find things faster? Seems like it would make things a whole lot easier. If not by state, maybe by region? What do the other people on here think?
Though I don't use the personals much myself, I do read through them, and one suggestion I'd have is that people looking to meet someone should post at least a general area (state/province) in the thread title, that would help find the people you wanted a lot I think. A lot of people don't bother for whatever reason. I mean, all it would be is instead of titling your thread "I'm looking for someone", title it "I'm looking for someone in New York" or what not. There, that was worth about 2 cents.
I usually post threads by Ohio, but they end up on the back pages or on the playground after so long because people have a tendency to start talking in them.
There are threads on the playground for most every area.
