  1. It's that time of year... to buy appropriate coins for the annual December party! I'm looking for coins (not pathtags, please), if anyone's selling! Just drop me an email at gc_sioneva@yahoo.com, I don't often check the forums amymore. Price range is generally $10-$12 per coin, but if it's a really spectacular one, I have no problem going higher. Thanks & Cheers!
  2. Are all the coins $7 each? Thanks!
  3. Let me see what I have. How many are you looking for? 5 or so... money's a bit tighter this year. (Okay, a lot tighter.)
  4. I'm planning my annual holiday pizza party event, and find myself short of geocoins for door prizes - looking for all size unactivated trackables that tie into the December holidays. If anyone has any that they'd be willing to part with, please let me know via PM or email. Money's tight this year, I'm looking at a price range of up to $8 per coin. Thanks!
  5. The OP is not playing with a full deck. This has been a public malignment message. And I didn't even get paid for it! I will, howver, pay over $5 for anyone who will log a Psycho Urban Cache for me...
  6. If they kept the maps and started charging more, you'd reconsider your support as well. Either way, they can't win... seems like they decided to stick to their pledge that a free membership would always be available, instead. They promised us that... they never promised us a rose garden eternally free maps. you obviously can't read all i said ... bolded for you maybe that makes it more clear and you don't assume what i will or not do My apology; I did miss that part. I don't think it would be as low as $5, but I concede you would be willing to pay more. I wouldn't be.

  8. Its always been a fact here that the premium members are carrying the free members. If it weren't for the paying members, not only would there not be maps, there wouldn't be anything. So don't for a second assume that the premium members didn't pay for the site, its development, and so on. Psst... pssst... look around the edges of the GS page next time you load it. See all those pretty little advertisements? Yes, we PMs pay money. Advertising brings in more money.
  9. I thought - and please correct me if I'm wrong! - that up to this point, access to Google Maps was free, and certainly the opensource maps are free. So where does payment come in, previous to Google's decision to charge?
  10. Because we pay you for the service not google. duh. You do? I didn't know that the google maps were a premium member only perk. They were available to all users whether you paid or not. GS's decision to give away a service that I pay for shouldn't later be held against me. How can I say this any more clearly? You are not paying for the maps. You have never paid for the maps. Nobody pays for the maps. Nobody has ever paid for the maps. Groundspeak is not out to get you. Rinse. Repeat. If GS had stayed with Google, THEN you would be paying for the maps. Through the nose. And no doubt everyone would then start complaining about THAT - I know I would!
  11. Because we pay you for the service not google. duh. You do? I didn't know that the google maps were a premium member only perk. They were available to all users whether you paid or not. An overwhelming number of the people participating in this thread, or complaining if you will, are premium members. The rest are pretty happy with their ROI. Yes.. but my point is that the maps are not one of the things premium members are paying for. They are/were a free perk.

  13. I would agree with that one. The geocaching that I know and love is not a geeky internet game. It is a challenging outdoor game. It's not? Well, there go my geek street creds! What do I do now??
  14. I didn't think we had approvers. Well, I'm sure the reviewers do approve of a great many of the caches they review. But their job is to review, not approve, caches. I'm Sioneva, and I approve this post. (but not of the general idea expressed in the OP)
  15. A good laugh every now and then is a GREAT thing! Thank you!!
  16. I don't live in Texas... but now I'm getting nervous. I have a cache about 10 feet from the edge of a ravine. I warn people in the description about the drop and that it should not be hunted at night, but suddenly I have visions of lawsuits dancing in my head. *sigh*
  17. It was their way of stealing this site's data to jumpstart their site. To make it even more attractive they even let you upload your find counts from here. It's obvious that Garmin was trying to ease a hoped for mass migration to their site. how so? How so, what? I think that it is obvious to all that Garmin added the import feature for one reason, and one reason alone... to play catch-up. What other possible reason could there be? Ah, they are offering Groundspeak a data backup service? It's a partial, perpetually out of date mirror with a few extra caches.
  18. I registered my user name on OC a while ago, just out of paranoia, and every now and then I check in on their forums. They're getting better at dealing with the cache-piracy issues, but they need to improve their track record on stopping them from happening in the first place.
  19. No, sorry, those were mine... I was running out of time while caching the area, and someone suggested I make tracks. So I did.
