I agree this would ultimatly stop the threads from proceeeding adverts but at the end of the day are they actually stopping the process completly? Some people dont want another thread to look at.....thats the whole point.. Another forum completly for adverts is solely the answer.....why not just congregate there to look at adverts if you enjoy looking at them...

quote:Originally posted by Tim and June: There was a time that a certain pair of cachers started a new thread every time they placed a new cache. Their enthusiasm became tedious to a number of cachers so a rule was established to prevent this continuing Yes obviously as was said at the time, Sorry about that. Census around this I think has gone a little over the top in terms of this place.....I agree blatent advertising is and should stay banned but congratulating someone on finding a 5 star cache should be perfectly acceptable, upon writing that thread it didn't even cross my mind as to whether people would be annoyed with it, mainly because who I was referring to are the moderators anyway.. What Slytherin said about us trying to bring attention to ove the last few months has not been deliberate attall its just caching talk, Mutual conversation and not meant as advertising...... if it does annoy you I am sorry for that but like as has been said this should be allowed, you cant have a caching forum and be allowed to mention certain caches thats like a business meeting not being allowed to talk about your business. If it is decided that this isnt allowed then this place will be very hard to write any sort of post in, well for me anyway... Pid Ben Piddington http://www.buckscaching.co.uk

Si Signor, Ich verstehe dich! Die Travel Bug Blink es der next cache vor U MCL Joul el la temp. Grazie. Arri Verdeci DIP Ben Piddington http://www.buckscaching.co.uk

Please bear in mind from your postcode anyone can find out your true address... Geocaching.com users area all safe, but hey hey hey this is still the Internet and its free for all so I would be more cautious than that to be honest....call me cynical if you like but hey Im Pid.. I hadnt noticed that though. Cheers Pid Ben Piddington http://www.buckscaching.co.uk

HeHe.... Poor MCL I think hes been beaten by Burial Mound... As I said before Tim and June are the best cachers in the UK, doing that cache in one day is a miricle! congrats,.. Good Luck Michael...... You'll be needing it. Ben Piddington http://www.buckscaching.co.uk

Glass of coke!?! Cachers do not drinketh Cokeeth my friend only a pint of strongest Ale is good enough for me. Sorry to go off topic, but this rises the question to me.....Who amongst us does not drink? Ben Piddington http://www.buckscaching.co.uk

LoL.....Yesssss very bitty.. I am no wood with these ere puns. Anyway, Back to caching speak everyone! I think publicity is a good thing because the more the merrier but please please not onthe front page of the sun. But I wouldnt mind us being on page 3 hehe.

Ok your on! If you crack it and get it in one day only, no more than 24 hours. I will buy you and your Dad all the drinks you want at the Christmas meet. What do I get if/WHEN you fail? Ben Piddington http://www.buckscaching.co.uk

We leave a card in every cache we visit, just to say we were there, don't mind it being taken by whoever wants one as a keepsake but wouldnt like anyone to put it in another cache we hadnt yet been too, but I don't think anyone would do that. Below is what our one looks like..... If you see one of these imagine wherever you are inthe dark. Ben Piddington http://www.buckscaching.co.uk

Not quite sure where the confusion with WW3 is guys...hehe. It inaccessible unless you have the guts to mission it.... You'll also require a Waterproof GPS We are hoping that the cache has not been washed away as the island is starting to make way for the Winter is going to be underwater soon, It was placed between bricks though inless theres been a Tsunami it should be ok. MARTYN....Sorry about that. Also sorry to add another Multi to your nearest page which I stated on the cache page aswell.... Good luck, and don't drown it would be a real shame Pid Ben Piddington http://www.buckscaching.co.uk

Michael aka 1/2 of Team Blitz If you pull it off in one trip I will rank you above Tim and June....but I don't see it possible at the moment a little more experience and maybe you will suceed...until then Burial Mound is goal above a goal.

I cant believe Tim and June. In my opinion they are by miles the best cachers in Britain. They have found our 5 star cache which may I say I never thought would be acheived in my lifetime, it wasnt my idea and is solely Dan's credit of a cache idea. Just how they did this I will never no, It was like a BLACKPOOL MYSTERY cache again only in the middle of a wood this time, I mean how on earth did they pull this one off!!!! talk about home lunchbox instinct, its like dowsing for lunchboxes with these guys. I mean if I told you theres a lunchbox in a wood near London and set you on your way then you come back saying you found it I wouldnt commend you any higher than this, congratulations Tim and June this is an acheievment beyond all other, TRUE CACHING SPIRIT and WILLPOWER. Well Done. Keep it coming. Pid Ben Piddington http://www.buckscaching.co.uk

HeHe,,,shall I be moderator? I know you all want me to really Ben Piddington http://www.buckscaching.co.uk

For Pity's sake when is Hornet coming back from his Holiday to settle the peace? I can see this place becoming extremly hostile territory, I don't like it. When are we going to see that freedom of speech costs lives? put a cake in it and maybe the free discussion will always be kept on topic and everyone will be happy here. Until then we are just violent soldiers on a warpath. Ben Piddington http://www.buckscaching.co.uk

quote:and as yet I have never seen any of get the thanks that they deserve. I was the first to commend them, Which maybe you missed. Why has nobody quoted from my post? I was most certainly not trying to stir any trouble I was genuinely writing what I wrote. I think what I said was an extremly valid point, especially afterwards we get ANOTHER person leaving the forums. When are you lot ever going to learn? To be honest if this malarkey don't shut up I am going to resign aswell, Its so wrong that people find it nessesscary to cuss someones actions and then dont back down when they all decide to leave. For heavens sake just lock this thread, dont let anyone get the better of you. Monz doesnt deserve to be unemployed, he was a good moderator. Can't you see what your doing? or am I just talking to a brick wall? Pid Ben Piddington http://www.buckscaching.co.uk

Maybe I am just young and used to getting bossed around, I am sorry but opinion is still firmly in agreement with the moderators on this one. They were trying to prevent the war, but instead got an even bigger one in return for their good intentions. Maybe what they failed to realise is that the Forums have changed a little of late, I think that when I joined it would have been accepted, but since then time has evolved and "HWSNBN" has gotten an old subject. Right now, I think this thread should be locked. But can they lock it? Crikey, I would hate to be them if they did. MCL, Dont leave this forum your view is welcomed by myself but come on, we arent all moderators, Would you really want the powertrip? when you get hammered down with every desicion you make. Don't get me wrong here, I can see what your thinking about what they did but I think they have every right to feel a little hard done by. Everyone has the right to be annoyed with all of this, Moderators included - Lets just hope noone else decides to run away from the fire. (Coz theres noone to put it out! LITERALLY!)

Just so you all know I am going to be Charter Member myself after Xmas so this is all good to know. Oh boy I cant wait Ben Piddington http://www.buckscaching.co.uk

Before I make my comment do I get a peek? LoL....no seriously it isnt acceptable ofcourse not I mean it quite clearly states in the rules you aren't allowed to do this sort of thing and removing it was the best thing to do. Pid Ben Piddington http://www.buckscaching.co.uk

LoL, Well ya gotta be a little crazy to be a lunchbox hunter I spose, not only that, whats the point in being serious because its only a game....hehe. Now that Dodgy David's gone everyone....shall we do a toast....Heres to GEOCACHING!...The sport where you are the search engine and the car is just a mode of transport going round in circles.... PROST! CHEERS! BOTTOMS UP! Pid. Ben Piddington http://www.buckscaching.co.uk

GEOWEASEL GETS IN FROM WORK READS ALL THESE POSTS AND THINKS: Crikey was only gone a coupl of Days.... Dodgy David is a sound bloke, His mate however, no names mentioned isnt quite such a nice bloke and I think what he did was very wrong and his banishment is definatly correct. The mdoerators do an extremly good job here, I know I am a joker sometimes and do write silly posts, I wont deny that, and if any of my posts are invalid and do not meet the rules then please do delte or block them... The trouble with some of the people here is wanting a "power trip" or something, the moderators are trying to keep the peace not create a war! Any mention of "HWSNBN" should be locked and any links should be deleted...no disrespect to Dodgy David, No disrespect to MCL...Moderators keep upthe good work.,. Ok, done.....dead....finished..... Over and out. Pid Ben Piddington http://www.buckscaching.co.uk

Newbury is good too but its no firther than Winchester in terms of accessibility really, so Im more up4 Winchester in the respect that all you people that live there wouldnt have to travel and its no more dfficult to get to than Newbury....but then hey I aint the driver so I cant really vouch a true opinion Pid Ben Piddington http://www.buckscaching.co.uk

How about having a Crimble meet around the middle of January? can be a combined meet with the New Year aswell and.... 1) We have more time to prepare. 2) It wont be busy with Xmas parties. 3) It'll be the Xmas after Xmas a glass of Sherry and a Mince Pie anyone?
