  1. No problem. Get in touch via private message or email: dogbomb@dogbomb.co.uk and we'll work something out.
  2. You should list what artists or albums or movies you love. Hobbies, dogs, cars, anything. Someone looking through their Tracking Numbers (Coin numbers might also be OK), and say you love "The Black-eyed Peas" and someone has "BLKYDP", then they might be all like, "That might kind of work". Or something... Hm. Neat idea. Thank you. Geocaching (obviously), Running, Magic, Videogames, anything with Dog or Bomb related words. Thanks in advance all. x
  3. Hi All, I'm currently on a hunt for a "cool" travel bug number, so I can finally get around to the travel bug tattoo I've been promising myself. I'd like something that's readable from a distance (clear what the characters are), possibly with repeating letters/numbers or which spell a word or somesuch. Just wondering if anyone had one squirrelled away they'd be willing to sell/trade, before I start buying them in bulk until I find something I'm happy to have permanently marked in my skin. Thank you in advance
  4. I've been flagging logs like that, as "prohibited". No idea if it's made any difference, but doing so all the same.
  5. I think this has been their biggest mistake so far. They should have had an initial bunch of challenges to give a flavour of what challenges were all about. I think they had the frog one so EVERYONE could get involved and check out the app/challenge with minimal effort - but it's backfired due to all of the other silly kiss/hug/poke/prod challenges which popped up. Challenges could have their place, but due to some mis-steps people are getting awfully upset.
  6. Mine too. You realise only a percentage of geocachers opted in to get that newsletter, right? Also, of that percentage, not everyone suddenly leapt onto geocaching.com to complain - what you are hearing is a vocal minority. It's possible there's more people think this way, I concur - but you can't speak for the majority just because the majority ain't speaking.
  7. What you are using as evidence is feedback in the forums and in the feedback topics. This is such a small slice of the geocaching community at large. As I said before, it's a vocal minority. Most just aren't aware. Not everyone logs into geocaching.com every single hour/day like you and I!
  8. Even those commenting don't represent most people though. Pedantic or not. Even if you limit it to "people aware of geocache challenges", I'd say most people are either indifferent to the change, or are feeding back in the hope it gets better. I'm in the latter of those. There's a VERY vocal minority who are treating it like a joke - and that's probably the worst course of action to take. Not pointless. I left feedback (3 points, even) on that one topic which got deleted by Jeremy. If you'd been back into the feedback forum, you'd see there's a lot of back and forth discussion now. That's also the right place to get vocal, because there's more chance of being seen than leaving a comment in an unrelated forum, or via a challenge log. I've been through the "hate them, get rid of them phase" and now I've seen some local ones pop up I'm in the "Actually, treated right, these could be a fun addition". I realise they're not for everyone and I hope people get the choices and options they desire, but I'm going to keep feeding back my thoughts in the hope it improves positively.
  9. Most people? I beg to differ. Most people aren't even aware of geocaching challenges. Why not offer some constructive feedback instead? Thumb up challenges you like, thumb down those you don't. Flag those which are blatantly "location-less" (but not Worldwide challenges). You don't like the idea of challenges? Fair enough, don't touch them, you don't HAVE to. Also, there's a feedback topic or two you can input on.
  10. I saw this earlier and burst out laughing. The lengths some people will go for a no-value-virtual-point no longer surprise me.
  11. You did. You didn't GO and "pick up litter" anywhere. You "created litter then picked it up without actually going anywhere". You failed the challenge set, which was set in good faith to promote the idea of CITO, to try and better the world around us while having a bit of fun! But... it's your challenge point! Well done! *applause* As with Geocaching, everyone is going to play the game their way. Me? I'm choosing to report the challenges which need reporting, thumbing those ones up which are good (and maybe *gasp* DOING some of them) and thumbing those ones down which follow the guidelines but are a bit crappy. You? Pffffffft...
  12. I don't care. It's YOUR "challenge point". It means nothing to me. If you decided to spin on your chair ten times before clicking "challenge completed" then that's your prerogative.
  13. Then you failed the challenge. It clearly states "Go to a local park and pick up 10 pieces of litter."
  14. Added everyone thus far to my "geocaching" circle. If you want to add me, you can find me here.
  15. Just got in from my #100th! (and 101st and 102nd... gotta keep rolling...) Here's to the next 100!
