no it isnt. you can run SQL queries command line

1. He's not going to give straight DB access to anyone.

2. Geolocation isn't a particularly useful feature since adults will just ask in a thread called "So Who's from SoCal?", but is a potentially large risk to younger folk if given as a search option.

3. Locations aren't confirmed, or validated. You can get a state easily, but nothing else is relevant due to the ability to type in a town called "somewhere". Not a problem in all cases, but somewhere like the NYC or LA areas, or in a state like Texas, it's a big deal.

4. He's pretty busy, as mentioned in a thread about why old timers aren't on as often.

 

i never said it was relevant, and i said he probably is super busy. and i wouldnt expect him to give access to the DB to anyone

all im saying its it isnt difficult at all to do the search if you had access to the DB
