  1. Hi..as a newbie to this forum, any forum in fact, I am reminded of Jean-Paul Satre's observation, when I read the replies to topics

    It appears that so many want to go to war over the most innocent topics, it seems they do not read fully the topics, or choose to pick out parts, out of context, which they feel they can challenge.

    Frequently the sense of the original topic is completely lost as the usual suspects respond only to the flaky responses, and so on ad infinitum.

     

    I guess someone also said "Get a Life"..anyone know who ?

     

    Who are the usual suspects? :anicute:

  2. When sound advice is given for a question asked I don't expect the next poster to chime in with

     

    **** No

     

    Sometimes I think people need to ask themselves If they would say something like that in person during a conversation. :anicute:

  3. Geocoin forum guidelines

     

    # This forum may be used for selling, trading or giving away of geocoins which are trackable on Geocaching.com. This includes any trackable coin produced by an individual, business or geocaching organization. Non-trackable coins may be posted for trade by individual coin owners. The proceeds from a permitted coin sale can be used for any purpose, such as personal profit, support of a geocaching organization, or to benefit a charitable cause.

    # Links to Ebay sales of trackable geocoins are permitted, but only for unactivated coins or sales where the seller is the actual coin owner or the coin owner has granted explicit permission for the sale of their coin.

    # Those choosing to participate in an exchange on this board take full responsibility for any consequences of that exchange. Groundspeak is in no way involved in the sale or trading of items on this board and will not be held responsible or liable in any way for quality issues, fraud or any default of transfer on the part of the buyer or seller.

    # Individual negotiations or information exchanges should take place through private e-mail or telephone correspondence, not on this board. Please use the communication tools provided on the site or private email.

    # Posts made with the intention of soliciting customers to a coin selling, tracking, or manufacturing website will not be tolerated. Links to other commercial coin selling, coin tracking, coin trading and coin manufacturing web sites will be permitted only with permission from Groundspeak. Permission requests may be sent to bizdev (at) Groundspeak.com.

    # The only exceptions to the Groundspeak Forum Guidelines are listed above, standard forum etiquette will apply to all discussions in the geocoin forum. Groundspeak reserves the right to determine if any posts are inappropriate for this board. No cross posting, spam or other abuses will be tolerated. Cross posting in the regional forum for specific regional coins will be permitted

     

    I'm sorry I didn't realize the poster was only interested in Geocoins that are trackable on geocaching.com

     

    Oh thats right he didn't say that did he.

     

    Did you inform the poster that to outright purchase a geocoin from the forums it must meet the above guidelines.

     

    No you didn't. Why Not? :anicute:

  4. **** no, stay away from ebay. Most coins can be purchased when they become available.

     

    Keep current on the postings in the geocoin forum and you'll see what to do.

     

    Yes stay away from Ebay.Ebay is evil and should be destroyed. Do not look at the hundreds of listings for Geocoins from reputable sellers on Ebay. DO NOT DO THIS. :anicute:

  5. I've been through Arkansas, I have to ask, did the officer wear his mirrored sunglasses with mirrors on the inside? :anicute:

     

    All LEA's were issued a bulletin about Geocaching in 03 if I remember correctly. It has been discussed in the forums.

     

    It's handy to know, though if I remember the poster (a police officer) couldn't offer a link or specifics which would have been very helpful.

     

    Sorry to hear about you're arrest.

  6. Try Ebay. Search: Geocoin. As far as I can tell all geocoins are limited runs which means you have a (usually) short period of time to purchase them.

     

    Also USA Geocoin has a cool looking coin that is currently overdue, so it should be out anytime.

     

    You can sign up for their mailing list for notification when it goes on sale.

  7. Glass or Dash either way the RAM mount is the way to go IMO. I’ve seen and had some experience with the factory mounts not bad (except their suction cup ones). Anyway RAM makes quality stuff all the way from airplane GPS mounts to police equipment mounts. I researched this a fair bit to mount my Meridian on my sport/race quad. I can pick’em up and put’em down over rough(really rough) terrain w/ no problem's from the GPS at all.

  8. I'm glad to see the general opinion of the community members seem to be in favor of the person who put on this event. I hate to see forums where people nitpick each other over what basically amounts to nothing. All you accomplish with this type of behavior is to drive people away. I logged my first find today; my daughter (age 8) and I had a great time. This is also my first post although I’ve been reading them (lurking? :lol: ) for a few weeks. I'm also looking forward to attending a geocache event. I guess I'll have to watch the calendar. I would hate to see anyone discouraged from putting one on over the cost of a cup of coffee.

    Anyway later....... ;)
