    Jeep

    ok it might be stiil early yet but has any one spotted one of the new jeep 2005 TB's?? have they been released yet?? the jeep site just says to check back in june ok its june i'm not complaning just askin about it i know jeremy and every one is busy
  3. well that will be a bad thing to do a plan might be to make them find at lest 6 of any kinds of caches or benchmarks the thing about the new geocacher placing caches in "questionable places" is a under statement i placed my first when i had no finds and now i have 3 hidden and one is in a very busy place with muggles everywere So a cache gets muggled/removed who cares you can allways place a new one. And the placer will learn that that might not be the best place. You say a couple caches what do you meen like 10? And if the other ones are still there then don't you think they are placed right so they won't get muggled/removed. Out here were I live its hard to tell what land you can place a cache on it might be park service land or some guys land that does not have signs that say keep out. As long as they keep the hides safe and in the rurls who cares And not to to be mean but i'v seen lots of logs and if your just complaining about the caches being placed worng due to you can't get gps to them or at them thru the trees you might want to get you Gps fixed Yes people complain about caches being hidden under tree cover
  4. one word tabasco!!! hey it worked on tv just don't get near any dry grass i have heard that deet is safe but i use sun screen wipes i will look up a link to them
  5. hey that is cool are you thinking about making some too sell?? i'd buy some!!
  6. ok now it looks as if you are selling them to geocachers as stated on the geocaching.com page These items may not, under any circumstance, be sold. is the making and shipping the $14.50?? and maybe you need to have geocaching.com talk to customize-it about selling them with out you or geocaching.com knowing about it there are some dealers that go off and sell things after modding them here say i take the geocaching logo and put my name on the bottom of it change the color of it turn it on its side what ever and then resell it but who holds the copyright on it? geocaching.com since it is there logo after all but hey look at it this way if it does turn out like that geocaching can do court action law suit and get some $$$ for more fast servers so the site can keep getting bigger and bigger and get a truck to go out a promote caching a cross the land and all kinds of stuff
  7. Moveing this to a diff forum due to its going off topic from which was Admin Problems if you want to keep talking about the topic please feel free to but for any other post please see our other forum Talk Cache thanks
  8. Just a place to talk about cache problems and other random cache stuff please feel free to post anything cache related!! Such as Problems you have had in the past with your caches and the odd stuff you have found in them and make it so this is a non judgmental place to talk no bashing other players about what they think speak your mind!!! and have fun!!
  9. placeing my cache opened my eyes too all of the things and places a cache can be out here and what can happen to them on the coast in the sand so when i did go out and hunt i found them with out much work I also take a dry note pad and a few zip locks just in case i find something that has gotten wet out here with all of the changing weather we have.. And i never said that i had problems with my cache i meen it has been found everytime but once since it was down to put a tb a repair it since i have placed it. Other cachers yes have gone to my cache and have emailed me tips on how the cache is doing on the beach and ect and some problems that were going on with it such as There was alot of sand covering the cache when i got there a month or so ago i got a email from a cacher stating that the cache was under about 2 feet of sand that had blown up from the beach and they gave me a a good idea that he had tryed on one of his caches its allways good when fellow cachers give ideas on how to make it so your cache will stay were it was placed and not going MIA as the last cache that was there before i took it over... and the first storm we had got the first Container got wet so it had water inside it so i learned that maybe a Plastic Container might not have been the best on the beach i have since upgraded to a ammo can and before i even placed the cache i was thinking about what might happen and getting lots of coordinates so to make sure the cache was placed were i said it was so as i say again its a learning experience for me i meen yes there are ups and downs of owning a cache but we are learning we all learn i have seen/heard some first time caches get trashed and the owners have made there new caches better and camoed and better hidden like i have for my other caches i have and will be placing and this is a game and we have to remember that we all have diff ways to play it i picked the path of placing a cache the right way the first time after reading countless logs and then watching the cache to see and learn what happens to it so i can in-turn give insite to others that are not sure about placing caches on the beach Well the cache was not placed poorly (define your Meaning of poorly ). Do you really think a reviewer will Approve a cache like that? Um no i don't think so. And as for the (poor cachers) As you called them, Who had to find it learned that a cache is not always were you think it is, And that yes dnf's do happen. I meen its on a beach in sand with muggles sometimes close by any thing can happen to it and if something does i learn from it and move on and place another one in its place if need be its no big deal!! as i said in past posts on here and jeremy's reply from this post
  10. well thanks for you welcome greeting but it was about 2 years and 5 months off
  11. hey jeremy make the PM button bigger they might see it better
  12. You sure are right, this fuzzy looking guy approved my first cache. He still doesn't have any finds. he does to have finds jeremy's player account
  13. yes I got your point and you gave a link to a geocachers ranking site that want from 200-1999 finds what about the admin's under 200 finds on there admin account my plan was to keep it on the geocaching page to make it so the admin page shows more of a grand total of finds. And yes your "GoldenStateAdmin" approver account should list your find/hide count. Knowing full well that you did in fact find the caches But More so to make it so the admin's have the same amount of finds as there player account like a box that says the player has a grand total of lets say 800 caches found 400 from admin and 400 from player
  14. well its not that i was Complaining about it per say.. its just that i found it odd that a reviewer would do say something like that to a new geocacher (a fellow scout and someone i refered to the site) on his first hide and he called and asked me about it and i told him the facts of why that might have happend but with out haveing the email right in front of me i want off from what he told me what it said and when i got the email off this forum i found out what he told me was a misquote i am not concerned about having a big find count to place a first cache i meen i placed one before i even found a cache and it was more of a learning thing then anything it started me out thinking on how to go out and find my first cache and what i might find ( from what i am going on is that my first cache is on a beach in sand that some times blows over it and its hard to tell that there is a cache there) so it makes me more aware of what might lay ahead and other cachers with more finds give insite on the cache in turn makeing the me a better cacher and a better hidder i came to the forums to see what others think about it and to bring out any problems that they have had in the past and i am not pointing fingers at anyone i rarely do that and when i do you can tell
  15. what you do is you post yours on your profile so users can find it is very cool some admins don't even do that and i think that is were the new users that are just placeing there first cache get upset about it like i said in my last post i think a counter tyed in to the admins (player account) with there finds will work but make it so users can't just click on it and find your (player account) so the volunteer reviewer that wishes to remain completely anonymous can!! and for the ones that want to make there players name known can do so.
  16. not a problem i'v seen worse cache counts in a post from a player on a player account. and they think they know what hey are talking about. that was just a Example of some counts i have seen in the past I won't criticize you on anything i know whats going on and i have for a long time, I know you have a lot of finds as you posted them on you admin account what might be a cool thing is to make it so people can see a admins player count find / hide (from there player account) much like the counter we have now on the player accounts to aid in making it so users (don't get upset that someone with "zero hides or finds" is reviewing your cache submission and possibly criticizing it) but make it so you can't tell what there player name is or what caches they have found or hidden if they don't want to post it. like you said on your admin page (I use this account so that I can keep my logs, activities and opinions as a Geocaching.com volunteer separate from my family's "player" account, where we keep track of the fun we're having.) i have to agree with that. two accounts make it much more easy so you can help us the account holder better thanks for all of the stuff you and all of the admins do to make geocaching what it is!!! HAPPY GEOCACHING!!!!
  17. um i have been here for sometime about two years 3 years this dec happy geocaching!!
  18. hey all.... Well its not a complaint from me, I don't think you guys have read that part. Its of more of a complaint by my friend on this, I have had no problems with any admin in the past when i placed my first cache (with no finds for my self might i add) And it was just kind of a wake up when my friend called me and said that they were (quote: thinking it was just being a joke...) thats not cool... And Kudos to Keystone Approver!!! for posting the full email that i never got to read it i was only told about... reading it myself i think its not a rude comment i think yes the admin was trying to help him of the problem and my friend was over doing it and yes i have to agree with ''ju66l3r" that the second comment should have been the admins first.. And yes i am sure its hard ''very hard'' to keep Quality public relations i meen since the reviewers are only just "volunteers" and this is a web site with 20841+ users with diff views. i think some of us have lost the fact that this is only a game!!! and i'm not sure about the thin skin thing i am not sure who jeremy is really pointing his finger at (The reviewer or the cache owner or me for bringing this complant up?) i meen its not very good PR telling someone new that they have thin skin andi meen some will think that they don't know anything and that they are dumb for even trying and some will brush it off and move on O yeah why are most of the posts bashing me like this whole thing is my fault??? not that i have a problem with it its just i think some of you should read the full forums before posting!! and one more thing i have found 4 caches and 8 benchmarks the site only shows how many 'CACHES' you have found that does not meen i am not out caching i meen some yes i have not found due to them being taken down before i get there or taken off with by a muggle... or other problems. And i have other caches that i am just now logging in i have other hobbies as i said hence this post is so late being put up on here ...................... COME ON PEOPLE ITS ONLY A GAME!!!
  19. well he called me just after he got the email and said he erased it o and to answer "The Leprechauns" question : my friend joined the website on the 23rd and placed his cache that day with the help of a sat map and my gps (that he still has from a camping trip) you will not be able to find his cache from my home state on the date (5/23) due to he lives about 70.6 miles from me in vancouver Washington well i am in seaside oregon o and his cache can be found at THE 205 cache
  20. You need to learn proper grammar though. yeah about that my key board is all messed up some of the keys work (most of the time)
