Guys,
This is a great feature. But what you are doing goes along the lines of this post http://www.manhattanreefs.com/forum/303350-post1.html
Just realize that you post on maps.google.com. It is a very specific mappping system. If you pull up the satellite photo you will see your house. Not a good idea to broadast your location of where you live. Most of us speak about tanks that are in our homes. I would not want to show people where I live. To many times, crimes are committed cause people can track what you do. And posting there with pics of your tanks can show what you have. Or the satellite pictures can show what type of neighborhood you are in, and what size home you have.
I think that it is a great idea, but I will not post my location only cause I don't want people to know where I am unless I want them to know. I have too much to protect (my kids) to put my location out there to arbitrary people. And just cause the link is from this site does not mean anything, because you dont know who is registered on this site.
Another example is that on Myspace they found hundreds of Sex Offenders registerd on Myspace which most of them are not supposed to be near computers.
Well sorry for the rant. This board has become an addition to me, my wife yells at me all the time for being here. I would hate to see someone on this board be burglarized or even worse happen and even to think that their location is projected from this site.
Happy Reefing.!!
