In before the angst.

You don't have to pay or be a premium member to post, so please don't let that July 20th deadline stop you.

Like these?

LOL! They spelled 北方话/北方話 wrong!

Make sure that to delete posts and use heavy moderation to quell any dissent if you create a forum. That's always a nice touch.

Please refer to this post about logging members only caches.

1. Avoid micros. That weeds out 99% of the chaff and avoids a lot of the all pre-trip recon. 2. Find 5* terrain caches that are accessible by kayak.

It's dorky but it's the owners call. I'd ask them all kinds of questions. What about PM who then become RM? What about a log as a RM who then becomes a PM? If you were ever a PM but are an RM can you log? If my PM lapses can I log and would it be good when I renew? Do Charter members count as PM? What if I'm Platinum instead of Premium? Can I create a RM account and log? Or would that account be tainted by this account? Can the non PM members of my party log? I'm sorry but my wife logged this one. She's not a member at all, she's borrowing my account, are you going to deleter her log? Which makes PM only caches equally dorky.

Maybe it's not about the smiley, maybe it's about accuracy in logging. It used to be simple, you found a cache and you logged a "found it". When did found it logs become commodities to be traded, awarded and denied at a cache owner's whim? It's absolutely absurd. If it's about accuracy in logging, then he was inaccurate according to the cache page. I will agree with you that it used to be simple, you found a cache and logged a "found it", but I think it started around the same time cachers "attended" the same event 13 times.

It includes a sample of all accounts over all years of existence.

Not that my opinion matters much, but I would like to see them consolidated in a separate pinned topic or something. Seriously, how hard could that be? (that's what she said)

Premium members constitute less than 10% of the community, so realize that you are very much in the minority. No one is prevented from finding a cache in this instance only from logging a smiley. What's more important the cache or the smiley? He could post a note instead. The fact of the matter is that it is the cache owner's cache NOT geocaching.com's cache. Without the regular members there would be even less caches to find. Being a premium member allows you site enhancements not entitlements.

It is the exact opposite of this:

I went in from Windsor crossing. I had mace spray with me which I carry in my back pack. She was kind enough to let me in with it, but do not expect it. They could confiscate it and charge you a hefty disposal fee or turn you back. Best to leave it at home if you carry it.

Did you mean to spell the word virtual "virtuel"?

I have one sitting in my garage and know of a very cool cache made from one, but what it held originally I am not sure. Most likely some sort of mortar round. Edit to add: I walked out to my garage and my label is in tact. It is a cannon load of some sort. Here is something I found: Storage Tube The NATO part makes since there is German, Italian and French written on it.

They are long gone... LE=lips excluded?

I don't remember R2D2 having lips.....?!?

Ala the DE-motivational posters:

"I've got a [insert crisis here] emergency and need to raise some cash so I'm selling some of my coins." seems to be a fairly common one.

Why does Detroit identify with an octopus so much anyway? Is it because they are spineless and suck? Help me out here.. Besides that everyone around here knows that Stanley Cup lives in near by Saltsburg, PA and roots for the Pens. It's True!

Anyone interested in trading?
