I've just read the this thread for the first time.
I would like to make a few points:
1. The old system worked fine (ie. 10 points for cache regardless of difficulty)
2. Even though I am guilty, I agree with the tb points being for TB's which have been moved and not personal coins etc - like others I was following the trend.
3. If anyone doesn't like it, they don't have to take part, but equally they don't need to moan about it either!
4. It's a bit of fun that's all - you don't win anything!
5. If winning is important to you, get out and find some caches, rather than sitting here and debating the issue.
6. Great job Adam - keep it up!
