  1. Well, it could be useful, if enough GC.com caches are cross-listed on there to make it a fairly decent mirror site. If geocaching.com goes down for maintenance or whatnot, you could always pull caches from OC.com, go out and cache. If they're cross-lists, just log 'em on gc.com when it comes back up. If they're not, just forget about them.

     

    Yeah, could come in handy in a pinch. But I've found all the crosslisted caches in my area already, anyway.

     

    They need some serious purple crayons over there though.

  2. I thought you weren't at that event in New Jersey where we all found the Chinese Takeout cache... Maybe I missed you?

    What in the tarnations are you talking about?

    It seems pretty clear... Coldgears was at an event in New Jersy, during which he was part of a group of cachers who found a Chinese Takeout cache. He didn't see the OP there.

     

    Well if I had known ahead of time, I definitely would have showed up.

     

    Yes, how could you have missed it? Every other geocacher who ever existed or will exist was there! Someone even gave me a purple crayon container!

  3. Some people golf religiously. I find a lot of these in caches:

    Seriously, though... I would rather not find religious tracts in caches (I'd rather not find any paper swag, actually) but we can't control what swag people leave. The "no agenda" guideline has to do with cache listings, not with swag.

    I've never understood people who hunt golfs. They whack the poor little things with a club as if the wee thing had no feelings at all. Then they spend a lot of time out in a pasture hunting it and, if they can find it, they whack it again! And it's not like you can eat them... I broiled some golfs I caught hiding in a stream near a golf pasture and they didn't get a bit tender. Heck, if I had people hunting me just so they could club me I'd hide in the nearest cache too. :huh:

     

    What breaks my heart, what really makes me sad and offended, is opening a cache to find a wounded golf hiding inside, it's skin cut open, its guts exposed, and forced to hide in a cache instead of being given appropriate medical treatment or at least a decent burial. Geocachers wake up! Stop the abuse! Ban golf hunters from our game before they give us all a black eye!

     

    :laughing:

  4. Guilty of not searching the forums, strike one on that count.

     

    Also, if everything that has been brought up before was banned from being discussed on these forums there would have stopped being new posts 3 or 4 years ago. I'll also say I was bringing up a specific example of my niece and nephew.

     

    For me, I don't understand how a bloody whipped man with nails through his hands on a cross is not considered disallowed under:

     

    "Geocaching is a family activity and cache contents should be suitable for all ages."

     

    Why the double standard? Because most of the community is okay with it?

     

    This was just something that happened to me today and I was just caching with my niece and nephew days ago. Would it have irrevocably harm them? No. May it upset them, perhaps.

     

    Anyway, if it's been discussed to death then just let this post float down the page.

     

    Seems like it upsets you more then them, considering they weren't even with you. Ignore it or CITO it, whatever makes you happier, but... sheesh. Sorry, but this is a mountain out of a molehill. Highly doubt your niece and nephew are going to be scarred for life.
