I sent off an inquiry to geoware regarding creating an Earthcacche event. It depends on theeir response back to me.

IT is up and running !! http://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/default...ce-7db1e6d7e0f5 Thanks everyone for the suggestions, The officers and I could not agree more ,and we have made the Category more inclusive, as we nnow have evidence that there are other artists and Elf doors as well as gnome doors.

I completely agree with Chapter house, except that I can not believe that there are limited few that have more than 100 waymarks, as I alone have over 250 waymarks. And I have not been creating as many as I have sitting waiting to input.

Nice idea and great looking pages ; but If I were you I would make each photo of the Ducks the default image so that the photo appears on the TB's page.

Just putting this out there. There is a new Category up for review about Old Grave and it is a duplicate of this Category http://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/default...e6-c6bf9969aa30

Heres Mine Please vote http://www.geocaching.com/track/log.aspx?l...1b-ad982afdd809

Well I for one agree I think this fits under the Game s section in the inventory. And I voted yes. Taken from the Whats in a name intro: "A cache site that moves around the globe, takes two to log," THis is very similar and would be intriguing to find

Read the rules. He is not eligible the TB's are in this contest and his "holding one interferes with the contest. If you live in the same household as he does you are not allowed to either. "Employees, officers, and directors of DaimlerChrysler Corporation ("Sponsor"), Rodale, Inc., Alcone Marketing Group, BBDO Detroit, Groundspeak, Inc., JeepÒ dealers, and each of their respective parents, affiliates and subsidiaries, advertising, promotion and fulfillment agencies, web masters and web suppliers, and the immediate family members (spouse, parents, siblings and children and their spouses and in-laws) and persons living in the same household of such individuals are not eligible."

I have a cache that has two containers accidently. What happened is that somone reported it missing. I checked it truly was missing from were I placed it. So I placed a second container were it should have been . Shortly there after someone said they found two caches there. I have looked for the second container son several occassions but have not found it. The contaimers are very different and loggers usually find one or the other. I would correct if I could fi the second one myself but so far have been unsuccessful.

That cache was not hijacked it was was miscategorized as a virtual when, in fact, it is a locationless cache. and locationless caches were all archived and are now here in the form of What we call Categories. IT would be a welcome addition to this game. My advice is to break this up into several Categoories and create a group to manage them before someone else jumps on the band wagon and beats you too it.

I too have a similar problem I got this email from a waymarker who submitted this waymark and I never received notification and I can not find it to take a look and hopefully approve it. I look at the que just about everyday and it is not been there for me to see. It was not declined that I am aware of. Jediah Hill Covered Bridge WMM8H I submitted this WM on 8/15. It hasn't been approved yet. Just wondering if there's a problem with the listing? Thanks, Rich Web-ling

Well The Wee Folk will now have a Category for their little doors. IT is in peer review now. We will add some relevant links but I discovered after the officers voted yes, we can not edit to add the links. We are also broadening the Categor. As our mission statement now reads. "Our group's mission is to waymark any magical creature (fairy, elf, gnome etc.) miniature door that is accessible to the public." Thanks to some very diligent officers who researched we discovered that even elves doors are appearing in our cities. For more information/inspiration about wee folk doors see: http://www.urban-fairies.com/SIGHTINGS.html http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,,1803971,00.html http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/Central/08/18/mr.littleguy.ap/ And we just can not leave out the other wee folk. So please vote yes for this Category http://www.Waymarking.com/groups/peer_review.aspx?f=-1

Well here it is folks, I need some officers Please http://www.Waymarking.com/groups/details.a...ea-4d674b56a125

Follow these guidleines to submit an Earthcache to get that icon on your waymarks owned page. http://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/record....aa-8dcb21611009 You can read about this here http://www.geosociety.org/earthcache/guidelines.htm

I would love to jump on boardto assist with this Category. I currently am leader of my limit so I can not create one but I would love to ba an officer if someone creates a group. I love all these photos od Fairy Doors http://www.urban-fairies.com/locations.html

HMMMMMMM!!!! Hem & Haw I propose a search for new cheese. This bit of cheese was over there: Taken from the Geocaching page "A virtual cache is a cache that exists in a form of a location. Depending on the cache "hider," a virtual cache could be to answer a question about a location, an interesting spot, a task, etc. The reward for these caches is the location itself and sharing information about your visit. Because of the nature of these geocaches, you must actually visit the location and acquire the coordinates there before you can post. In addition, although many locations are interesting, a virtual cache should be out of the ordinary enough to warrant logging a visit." and it directs you to the Waymarking page. This bit of cheese is over there http://www.cachearoundtown.com/index.html which first introduced me to virtual locations is all about the location with wouldn't you know it too has Waypoints for specific locations And if we all put are heads together we will surely find bits of new cheese here and there. And I liked the way Nate smelled the cheese! ALLWAYS REMEMBER !!! They Keep Moving The Cheese Get Ready For The Cheese To Move Smell The Cheese Often So You Know When It Is Getting Old The Quicker You Let Go Of Old Cheese, The Sooner You Can Enjoy New Cheese Move With The Cheese Savor The Adventure And Enjoy The Taste Of New Cheese! They Keep Moving The Cheese.

One last attempt to have Jennifer and John from Team Farkel7 to see this from a different perspective. When we discover a new activity we sometimes see that activity in a glowing light as we do with new relationships.. The good qualities dominate the foreground of our perception The activity just doesn't seem to have any flaws. This temporary state of grace is commonly known as putting something or someone on a pedestal. ( Here that Nate, you must be pretty high up on that pedestal ) Often times we put favorite activities and people on pedestals. We have all done this to someone or about something at one time or another, and as long as we remember nothing is actually "perfect," the pedestal phase can be enjoyed for what it is-a phase. It's when we actually believe our own projection that troubles arise. ( As have here) Everything & everyone has problems, & flaws, atc., When we entertain the illusion that something is perfect, so when the activity or person disappoints or is seen as a contradiction to the idea of perfection, we become disillusioned. We may get angry or distance ourselves in response. ( Exactly as you have done Jennifer, you got angry and threaten to leave Waymarking alltogether)In the end, the activity or person is not to blame for the fact that you idealized it. Granted, you may have enjoyed seeing the activity as perfect through your eyes, but you are the ones who chose to believe an illusion. If you go through this process enough times, you learn that nothing is perfect. We are all a combination of divine and human qualities and we all struggle. When we treat the activities & people with this awareness, we actually allow for a much greater scope and understanding of the activity than when we held the activity or person aloft on an airy throne. ( Take that TPTB you have been dethroned) The moment you see through your idealized projection is the moment you begin to see how the activity truly is . We cannot truly connect with the activity when we idealize it. In life, there are no pedestals-we are all walking on the same ground together. When we realize this, we can own our own divinity and our humanity. This is the key to balance and wholeness within ourselves . Now to balance this out and keeping on topic. The links do not work for me either, AND IT is aabout the LOCATION!!!!

Most huts are now indeed permanent and are now used for other things. I think most of us realize that they were made to be movable If one of then moved for some resaon as you state; the next Person to log the find would state that it was MIA and then it could be archived. Waymarking is indeed about the location and is not about virtual logging in any way shape or form. When a hut is waymarked it is expected to be there again and again for finders; And should continue to be monitered by theTPTB. Just as logging virtual TB's is unacceptable on the other site. What has been referred to as virtual waymarks is indeed unexceptable. ANd as TB's that TPTB become aware of, they are shut down immediately. I can see that your team is fond of These huts as these locationless caches were the majority of what you and Jennifer logged as cachers, but here at Waymarking Categories are similar to those locationless caches, and waymarks are similar to virtual caches. ( Please remember that the virtuals even on geocaching were about a location) But creating Virtual Waymarks are completely unexceptable and not what this site is about. As I stated in this post; Every single time virtual anything is created TPTB have immediately shut them down Waymarking is no exception. To have expected anything else is unrealistic.

Jennifera26 At the time of my previous posts I specifically choose not to talk about the hut because the leader of the Category has not been online since Aug 9, and I was awaiting there response to this. So I used examples that had been referred to as the Turtle Crossing and art Cars, awaiting to here from the Leader. But when logging on after my computer was down since I last made my response I felt I could not wait, especially after nate even apologized directly to you. I quote Nate " I used sarcasm to illustrate my point, not to offend. My apologies if you took it that way. " You have chosen to ignore the apology! I attempted to have you look at things differently after that post and others; but I fear that is not possible after your last post. Now getting back on topic virtual waymarks are not what this site is about. It is the Location, location, location!!! And TPTB have every right to keep it that way.

19 +12= 31 IT takes 66% affirmative votes for peer approval and you missed the amount of affirmative votes needed to have this become a category. 66% of 31 would be 21 yea votes!!!

As leader for that group, I goofed,I will change the way it reads. I did say inanimate objects but was going for a good definition, but guess I missed that when I said only animals and humans. I will make the change. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. By the way I used Giants, resemblance, stone, wood, & natural as searchable terms, I am open to suggestions.

19 + 12= 31 Votes. I do recall that you need 66% for peer approval. ( Can not remember what thread that was)That would need 21 votes in the affirmative. Your Category missed it by a few votes.

As an officer in the Quenset hut group myself, and leader of the Drive Ins group. I feel I need to be heard! ( I had been with out computer for a few days unexpectedly.) I was not the officer that approved it in the hut Category. In fACT NONE OF US WERE (It was set to Auto Approve)( The Leader felt that this was best) If I had been ON COMPUTER and seen this WAYMARK I would have sent off a polite email Stating that it would be removed as it stands as it did not fit the criteria, I was unable to be and I am thankful TPTB upheld the standards of our Category. I had not even been aware that this was there at all until I read this thread. I am grateful that TPTB archived the waymark before I or others had a chance too, with a respectful email. ( Things do happen in real life and as an officer in the group I speak for myself that it was particularly convienet for me that TPTB upheld the Category for us. IT does however fit into the Drive IN Category if you fulfill the requirments and post a sign of the movie and mention and upload a photo in a log to a Drive In Movie The way it was removed by this TPTB is not a problem to this officer!!! So why would it be a problem to others? To Jennifera26 particularly. It was not accepted in fun! IT was accepted by Auto approve! That is one reason why I do not like auto approvals but I am not the only officer and we are discussing the pros and cons of auto approve within the group as a result of this thread; so this thread and the discussion that follows has been extremly helpful and serves a purpose. I am sorry for you that you look at the posts in a negative light. And attach motives to others that you assume. This is a great hobby and you need to develop a thicker skin, and look at things from others viewpoint. The definition of sarcasim is " It is strongly associated with irony, with some definitions classifying it as a type of verbal irony. It is often used in a humorous manner and is expressed through over-emphasizing the actual statement or particular words." Please try to view the posts in a positive manner and you will be surprised that they are not negative as you see them. It is only you who are being negative..

Frankly, I hope category modification will not be allowed to happen in such a drastic manner. Category acceptance is now decided by peer review. I would have to say that if I had voted on the original category in the affirmative, then it was changed afterward to something that I would have voted negatively on, I would not be happy about it. Coundn't have said it better myself. I agree so much that if I had voted yes to this to see it so drasticially changed I would not be happy. That said this has me concerned that a managment group could conceivably get a Catagory past review and then completely change it to say one that was turned down by the community. So I ask what can be done regarding this possibility, I am drawing a blank.?

I talked about this very thing here. Nate even said it was a bug and that Sean would be working on it soon, but that has not happened yet. http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...iables+-working
