Checkmark

While there is no official position on it what most have found to be the best approach is what Silverquill suggests. Have one leader and promote only two officers. Use that thru the entire category creation until it passes peer review. After that is a good time to recruit more hands.

Nice digs here. I feel we have moved into the mansion. Checkmark - Go leave your mark on the world! Waymarking admin team

Earthcaches work equally well on either geocaching or Waymarking. The listings and content would be exactly the same. Far be it for me to assume why people are willing to log listings on one site and not the other. Some people want geocaching to be exclusively for containers and others don't. Geocaching supports a variety of listing types and pretty much always has. Speaking only for myself the original problems with virtual caches could not be solved. The introduction of Waymarking allowed for a game variation that removed the subjective aspect that plagued virtual caches. I can't see webcams coming back because they lack the tactile educational aspect which is another aspect missing from virtual caches. Trying to compare earthcaches to virtuals is not really possible because virtuals are very broad in scope compared to a very focused topic found in earthcaches. Earthcache reviewers are versed in geological aspects. To expect Keystone or MTN-MAN or Erikl88-r to be versed in the thousands of possible topics for a virtual cache would be unrealistic. Grandfathered virtuals, webcams and the still available earthcaches are on geocaching.com because that is what the founders want. The same can be said for events and citos. My personal opinion is that this issue has more to do with where stats are displayed than anything else. People seem quite willing to log just about anything to increase their score. FWIW, in between the sarcasm and off topic comments there were quite a few wise gems in many of the posts. Perhaps if the sarcasm and tone could be removed by those people before posting then those people might have a chance at being heard. As it is most people will not respect solid logic when it is dripping with venom. Checkmark Waymarking Site Admin
