So Mtn-Man how are you doing on this bright and shiny day?

What do you have to do to get one of these? Haven't I found enough caches, placed enough hides, posted enough on the forum, posted on the feedback site? I can't just sit around waiting all day. I guess I am going to have to get ready to do some caching on my furlough day. LEOs and all. If you dont wanna feel left out I can see if I didnt delete mine, and send it to you.

I'd stay away from replting to them...that just feeds them, and also gives them your email address. They can try to have my email. It gives no info about me, and the password is a difficult one to crack. So let them try.

Dont worry I email them with a nice email. I am sure I will get another also. I think I might just have to change my email to my geocache one.

I just got the email and deleted it. Who cares what some jerkoff says. I know that I am an adult, and know right from wrong. Its just a sock puppet account.

I am working on a way to seal that a little better. I have a couple of ideas just need to figure out the best one, and then do a quick disable maintenance for it, then place it back out. I know for now it will be ok until the rains get closer.

Thank you guys for the ideas. I think I will run and grab a .30 cal can this coming weekend, and get it ready for our next outdoor adventure.

Ok. I was thinking of the .50 cal. a .30 cal should work.

The one I picked up isnt that bad. It has the gasket on it for weather, and I can check up on it as I see fit due to the close proximity to home. So I can keep on the lookout for trouble. The steel ones though I am afraid might be a bit heavy for a long hike. I will have to check it out.

Since you won't believe me... http://kalsey.com/2004/02/why_ip_banning_is_useless/ http://letupdate.com/ban-ip-address/ If they have posted 200 times, that's 200 banned IP addresses. I guess you have to hope one of them isn't yours, huh. If it was, you would be kicking and screaming asking why GC would just ban an IP address like that. I will let this go. I dont want to derail this thread anymore. I just know what we would do on the boards I was a Global Mod for.

What type of ammo can though? I can purchase one that is a molded plastic that I have used for my first cache, or a good heavy duty metal one? I will need it to be light enough to carry on a long hike.

I am thinking of creating a new cache to place while out for a hike that I can just drop and go. I will want to use something that is a regular size for TB's and Swag. This will be place in the mountains so it will need to be able to handle the weather, and the animals that can be about. So what do you think?????

What is the name of the World Wide Cache you speak of? Its kind of funny while I was stationed in Japan I never knew about this game. I think it would have been fun to grab on somewhere in Tokyo while I was out on the town one night.

I know that all of you mods are doing this for free, and its not a job that gets much respect from those of us on the forums. I do appreciate what you do. If you give the IP address to people there aare those of us who know how to deal with it. Just saying. What part of multiple IP addresses do you not understand? I fully understand multiple. There are some of us here who know how to track an IP, and what to do about them. Its not hard to track multiple IP's ya know.

Again, that has been done. The person is creating multiple new accounts daily. Then dont do a player account ban, do an IP ban. That way if they do multiple account they all should have the same IP theoretically, and thus allow you to ban all at once. Please resume your normally scheduled discussion now.

The bolded section is what I have issue with. If I perpetuate his intentions through my protest than that should not matter. I spoke how I believed, and showed good that came from the forums. To simply edit out the portion from the sock puppet, and leave mine would have taken what 10 more seconds? You can do what you want with this post as it does fit with the forum topic which is and I quote "Is there a PROBLEM with the forums?"

See and I asked in another thread what folks would like to see in caches as well and surprisingly I got no, 0, zilch, zap, nada, in terms of responses. So please tell me what specifically do you both as adults and for children do you like to see in caches. I don't have a ton of $$$ but I do have some cool DIY things planned. So far I have small versions of first aid kits, fishing kits, cache maintenance kits, some crafty earrings, and a few other things. That kind of stuff seems pretty cool.

It wasn't deleted. It was hidden to hide the spammer account. Wpuldnt it been easier to just edit out that part, and leave my post? To hide the whole post implies I have done something wrong, and I take offense to that. I should not be punished because of someone else. I think what I said was very positive.

Weird my last reply was deleted? Are the mods against me now?

I recently submitted an idea another person on the forums had for a TB Tire Cover for peoples Jeeps and the like. I got a return reply saying that they appreciated the thought, and that they would look into it.( I just wish that I could remember whose idea it was so that if it does get doen then they could get the rightful credit. I did say someone else had the thought in the email though.)

Attica, Attica, Attica. Sorry just had to since no one else has yet.

The nice thing about living in a large metropolitan area is that people are so busy with their own lives they hardly pay attention to what others are doing. So I really dont have to do anything. yeah. most people don't care about why a particular stop sign is so interesting to sooooo many people Actually I have a huge 4000+ acre park like a mile away from me. And yes I do live in a major Metropolitan area. I recently placed my first cache which was an ammo box in that park. We actually have a lot of nice places here to hide caches. I just wish people would get creative, and not just hide micros. Back to the original discussion though if ever questioned by someone I would just tell them what I am doing. I have done that once, and the person just left my Fiancee and I alone.

To the OP, Thank you for not just flying off the handle. You have shown to be an adult unlike many of the people of age to be called an adult. As far as the found cache I would try to contact the CO and ask them to archive the cache, and come by to pick up the cache. Then you would be free as others have said to place your own that you can fully monitor on your land if you so choose. To all the Repliers, Like has already been stated you have all been very adult in this conversation. That is a very difficult thing to find on an internet forum. Thank you.
