cachew nut

Read my post again, and you will see that I read about it in local cache logs. I did not mention forums at all, but are you saying that if it is posted in the forums then it can't be true? Your post: Your quote can be interpreted in different ways and it would have been nicer of me to ask for a clarification before responding but these topics move along quickly… sorry about that. Did you ever follow-up on this to confirm your assumption? Right now I'm assuming that the logs you refer to were the web page logs. If so, did you go to the cache site to see if the date of the cache find was different than the date being posted on the web page and different from the date of the event? I would imagine mega loggers often get the dates wrong. Or, did the team you were checking on have multiple members that might be caching in different areas but logging under the same account? If I'm right in guessing at what Cachew Nut is talking about it's this: 2 caches from the Chicago area were taken to an out of state event where one was logged with a note asking if it could be logged as a find and the other was actually logged as a find. The find log resulted in the cache getting locked down for a period of time. None of it was done with the cache owners permission. The find log was subsequently deleted and the cache was unlocked. None of it was an assumption- it was all documented in the online logs and was perfectly clear that the cacher knew what they were doing. Coming so soon after the controversy over GW4 certainly didn't help anything. And let's not forget six fake logs from Texas and one from California, all in the same day. It's all in the logs and it's not up to me to call anyone out on this, or even disclose who this is, it's all searchable. But, if we are all playing this game by the accepted "rulebook", then that player's score is disqualified until the records conform to what everyone else is playing, IMO. Either that, or everyone else is disqualified except for that one person. No contest. Since there is no "rulebook" and they are not playing the same game and just racking up bogus find logs, then there is no turmoil, because one game score is for real finds and the other game score is for bogus finds. Two different games and everybody wins, you see? The game has evolved, again. It's kinder and gentler now.

I agree. The hint describes the route to the cache via a county park. I really would like to get it closer to the center of the intercahnge - for symetry. I don't think I've ever been to that location, I hope it gets approved soon so that I can visit!

That's because he was already a winner for his high quality rice.

You guys get gold for just 1K? We only get silver for 1K around here. Not sure how many to win a gold box. I hope I win one someday.

It was no contest from the moment I read local cache logs being logged while the cacher was at an event in another state. And now with a 6500+ lead over the next contender, it's still no contest!

I'm pretty sure that these are two different caches.

Good thing it wasn't akin to any of your kin

Here's how I did it. From the main page, select "Sweden" from the country selection list. Click to view one of the caches that show up in the list. From the cache page, scroll down to where it says "For online maps..." and click on "Geocaching.com Maps". Hope this helps!

Try this or this. Hope this helps!

If you are serious about this, then your proposal would probably get more serious consideration in the Geocaching.com Web Site forum than here.

I think that is it for me right there. My numbers are important to me. I log each find with the find number in the log for the most part. I look back at old caches and I know where I was at that time. I like the milestones, even ones like my 1,000th traditional cache or my 100th virtual cache, etc. Yes, the page with the totals would be missed by me. Exactly. Some people want to change things for everyone else when they don't like something by making them "opt out". How about just making the person wanting the choice "opt in" instead? I don't want to have to check any more boxes.

Is this where I pull out this forum's standard response of "OMG!IF U DONT LIEK IT DONT DO IT!" ? I'm sorry you're not comfortable with gender neutral pronouns but I'm not going to stop. - HauntHunters I'm just saying that your point would be better taken without the hippie talk.

Can we ztop with the zie's and za's? It's kind of ztupid and diztracting from the point of the zentence.

You must mean convenience for the hider more than convenience for the finder. But how would the size matter if you replaced the film container behind the Walmart with a larger tupperware? Would it now be less lame because it's not a micro?

No, emoticon

Huh? 100 caches in a day seems totally doable. I haven't done it myself, but it be done easily if you wanted to.

Well let's just try to make sure that doesn't happen then!

You are a stellar spellar, young feller!

That's a good attitude lady fair!

This won't work, so let's not even try.

Dude, you are trying to use a compass in Canada, duh j/k I think the mineral you were thinking of is lodestone

Well perhaps underacheiver was too harsh, in your case. I didn't quit when the original leaderboard went away, but I lost interest and stopped for a while. Would I quit geocaching if geocaching.com quit counting? I don't know, I probably wouldn't quit geocaching, but I might lose interest again. I don't see the point, the site has always kept count, everyone knows this going in. More importantly, will you quit if the count remains as it is?

Huh? The only sour grapes I'm seeing in the forums are from the underacheivers who want to take the numbers away from the people who value them. underachievers.....wow, I would almost start to think some people go geocaching to 'compensate' for some other type of shortcoming On the other hand, how come so many threads about numbers are started by people who say they don't care one bit about them. Here's an idea: let's stop talking about them! Katja I've really not said anything to, or about anybody elses find count specifically, and only in general terms when they make noises about changing the way I play my geocaching game. The OP states that the people who value their find count have a less than positive attitude. That's not the case, the people who value their count are not the ones making the noise, it's the ones who want to eliminate find counts. Since I value mine, and work hard at keeping them from going stale, I will defend my desire to not have my game changed again. I'm not really seeing others who value their find count wanting to see them go away, just the ones who don't value them. No shortcomings here.

It's sorta like that new math, huh?
