Look at who's posting in your state's topic if you want a list of people from your state (obviously it's not complete). I can only see SEARCHING by state as leading to trouble and being mildly creepy.

Maybe we can get some IP geolocation going too, so we can search users by city ;).

uuh How about not

I really don't think it is a feasible option as it wouldn't be an easy feature to add.

^^ haha that's funny
still
it is just a LITTLE creepy... i know at our state competition last year there was some thing that we did where we (well not me but a girl who was SUPER active on the forum) met up or wore there user name on there name tag.... either state or cyfalls idk... i know there is a lot of talk about that... then you would know some of the people.
but the IP thing is a bit crazy.
i could see where searching for people in your state may come in handy...
No matter what the experiment's result, there will always be someone eager to:(a) misinterpret it(b) fake it, or (c) believe it supports his own pet theory.
