forum enhancement ???
Im new to the site and do find it very informative, but what I do find a little annoying (and maybe Im missing something) but wouldn't it help a lot if the categories were broken down by state and maybe even city? If I'm looking for something in a specific area do I really have to go through pages and pages of info to find something in pa? If Im looking for local partners or wholesalers etc? Is there an easier way to locate this information?

@Mike Parks if you get a pro account you can search for other members by city, state, and even how close they are to you. That service costs money, but there are many other benefits from having a pro account. While the main site contains an amazing amount of free information, to keep it going there has to be some income. The folks who buy pro membership help keep the site open for everyone. If you intend to use the site to make actual personal connections for making a profit paying for the service is only fair. When I proposed my first business deal to another person on BP I went and bought a pro account. You pay more in credit card fees than a pro account costs.
