  1. Oh well let them script away and put a captcha on top of the registration. At the moment geocaching.com is an easy target for spam-bots and if you leave it this way, it only gets worse. I'm paying my premium membership so someone is developing the site and taking care of things. Right now I got the feeling someone is refusing to do their job. Cheers
  2. We have a couple of nutters down here in Melbourne who recently picked up tree climbing (including myself). Now T5 tree-caches are popping up like mushrooms and I was wondering which is the highest T5 tree-cache above ground? There is/was one in Germany at 53m http://coord.info/GC1GDY2 but is there a higher one? Thanks P.S.: Here are some pics from the last climb in the Yarra Ranges
  3. I'm ° - the forums just doesn't allow me to log in with that account In regards to the latest move to Antarctica: That's just a parking position nmartin chose until the cache gets placed again. However I chatted to Anna who currently holds the cache yesterday. Jan Smith - http://m.theage.com.au/victoria/melburnian-68-conquers-everest-20120527-1zd30.html - who just returned from Elbrus asked her to join on an expedition to Mount Vinson around Christmas. Funny that. The recent hides seem to be a bit up high in the T scale. Please keep in mind T5 caches attract T5 cachers which then place this box in a similar fashion. Eventually that streak will end. Currently the cache is still in Melbourne. Anna and I will place it on the weekend. Cheers
  4. oops - haven't updated in a while ... this one is up to date: map: http://www.geocaching.com/map/default.aspx?pq=ydG5vqAFMUG0DNESLYdCiw&hash=d85da60830313f123d6fbf22a0b6e4e7 bookmark: http://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks/view.aspx?guid=b0811c07-0abd-40da-94ce-3bc2d14c9a63
  5. Das sind alles keine neuen Punkte in den Guidelines. Das ist - vielleicht etwas anders formuliert -so schon seit Jahren da drin: http://web.archive.org/web/20031206082724/http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx ... das mit den Emails kam später war aber vor 5 Jahren schon so.
  6. It's only the Americans, Liberia and Burma who get it wrong with the dates (how's that for a joke). The rest of the world - incl. Australia - uses SI which states DD/MM/YYYY. Logic, metric and American doesn't go along that well (edit: typo)

  9. ... and all the years before from 01 onwards? No - it was remembrance day. Although I am a German I do value the sacrifices the Soldiers made in my new home country (Australia). They did defend the values now modern western countries do stand for - incl. Germany. Let's not water down the importance of this day with "yet another souvenir".
  10. Instead of releasing an elaborate concept, they made it somehow work and unleashed a beta-version which has so many programming and conceptual errors that I don't even start to name them.
  11. If that would be true, it would be a fair reason. I still don't see the downside of saying "Alright folks - we change the policy: Every APE gets reinstated except for those which can't be replaced because local laws / proximity issues / guideline problems." I am just wondering.
  12. Why treat it differently to any other cache? If the container is gone you can replace it. And who came up with the "It has to be the original ammo box" in the first place? It's not exactly a fancy and very special container which has been designed and build just for the APE caches. Just let local cachers adopt all of them if they are still within the guidelines for a traditional cache. Worst Case Scenario: You have like 10 more caches on the planet and a lot of happy cachers. I'd be interested why Groundspeak is so against reinstating all APE caches - there are only 13. What is the real reason for keeping them in the archive?
  13. I basically had the same idea how a camera should be - I didn't find anything and just skipped the ruggedised part: So I went for a Canon PowerShot. After breaking three of those I decided that I just swallow the bitter pill of an additional battery type and got for a Canon PowerShot D10 Heaps better now
  14. Just for the fun of it: http://www.facebook.com/nightcaching (P.S.: my real GC-account is º but that doesn't work with the forums)
  15. Here's a bookmark list for some around Melbourne: http://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks/view.aspx?guid=fbdf4f34-7d43-4643-b4d2-39b38560984e
  16. It's also the call of the community >> everybody should be happy what's going on.
