....
I seriously hope this thread stays open a while as I would like to see the opinions of many of the other OLD TIME CACHERS who were placing last year and before.
Ok, I found my first cache Sept 2000, and placed my first cache Mar 2001, so I guess I count as an old timer. One thing, I didn't see Jeremy say that it would stop pilfering, but that some cachers had ask for a way that only registered people could see them in the HOPE that it would reduce pilfering. So Jeremy provided them a method. Also while you are correct in saying making alcohol illegal for people under 21 hasn't stop underage drinking, I think it has reduced it. I remember when I was underage, there were some who wanted alcohol, but were concerned about being caught (mainly by parents not the cops) so they just didn't get any. But some others always got some beer. The main way was to pay a less than reputable adult to buy it for them. If they could have bought it legally they would have just bought more. So in both cases the law reduced the amount of underage drinking. In the case of Member Only Caches, it is a given they will not stop pilfering, but I suspect they might reduce it, only time will tell. As for me, I have had a cache stolen/removed, but I suspect it was due to a non-cacher finding it, so if it had been Member Only cache it would still be gone. Currently I have no plans to convert any of my caches to Members only or to make my next one a members only.

Yes, I remember even if it was Sept 2000. I took pictures and left foot prints. I wasn't sure what kind of "treasures" were in geocaches, so I wanted to look in one before doing trades. The cache (with it's two digit id) is still active. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=33

Let me try again, I didn't work for me.
Well it works now. I don't know what I did.

I just tried to post a reply with the contraction of "do not", but it clipped that text at the apostrophe. So I edited it to use "do not".

It is funny the "caches" that I have the fondest memories of, I don't remember what was in the cache, I would have to read the log. It is the location that made them special to me.
