+Pablo Mac Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I feel like I spend way too much time in the forums compared to actually getting out there and hunting and placing caches. On the other hand, I see many others here with many more forum posts than I have. If you feel like you spend more time reading and posting in the GC Forums, get on the couch and talk about it here. - Pablo Mac Quote Link to comment

Trinity's Crew Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I do spend more time reading the forums than I do caching, but that's because I read the forums at work and later in the evening. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Caching and forums are different things. At work during break I hit the forums. Latley I've been doing home improvment things. It's easy to take a break and check the forums, not so easy to take an afternoon and go cache. Quote Link to comment

+AuntieWeasel Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I cache Saturday and Sunday mornings, when conditions permit. Those are my opportunities. Forumming is not in a position to interfere with caching. Quote Link to comment

+Ladycacher Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I live in the forums because Iof the small town i live in. It does have many geocache's and does not get new ones often. In order for me to geocache anywhere I have drive 30 or so minutes and use ALOT of gas. Since gas prices are up, no traveling, no geocaching. I am however going to an event tomorrow!! I am in charge of catering for Geowoodstock4, we are having a planning meeting and I will have to take a loan out to buy gas to get there . Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I usually cache on Tuesday and Wednesday with a friend who has those days off, and who is kind enough to drive. The price of gas keeps me from going anywhere any other time . . . thus my Fourm post count. Quote Link to comment
+TeamAO Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I cache Saturday and Sunday mornings, when conditions permit. Those are my opportunities. Forumming is not in a position to interfere with caching. Weekends are for caching. During the weekdays I'm too busy, so when I have a minute I stop here and check the posts of people who are getting out more than me. Quote Link to comment
+Yamahammer Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Small town. We've hit all of the caches within 25 miles. We make trips and we plan caching around those. So reading the forums doesn't take any planning. Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 rather gruesome cartoon..... some weeks I'm a forum addict - most weeks I'm a geocaching addict. Quote Link to comment
+Ladycacher Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I didn't even notice that cartoon until your post....OMGoodness! Quote Link to comment
+Bear Paughs Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Same as just about everyone -- cruise the forums at work and at night. Cache on weekends and when family schedules permit, after work a couple nights a week. Quote Link to comment
+reveritt Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I love the forums because there are so many knuckleheads to argue with. I love geocaching too, although the reasons are not as clear. Quote Link to comment
+El Diablo Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I hardly ever read the forums or post to them. I spend most of my time caching. Wait!!! That's wrong. DocDean send more drugs. El Diablo Quote Link to comment
Hugh Jazz Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I just busted a gut laughing at that cartoon. Aside from that I must declare that I find such cartoons highly offensive and the administrationists of this site should ban such gruesome displays of stickfigure violence. Quote Link to comment

+welch Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Time Spent: Forums Vs. Geocaching, Are You a Forum Addict? I feel like I spend way too much time in the forums compared to actually getting out there and hunting and placing caches. Yes I think I'm a forum addict... well actually i'm an internet junkie, the forums being of a couple things I check while online. Quote Link to comment
+Pablo Mac Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 I often find myself grabbing up a Pocket Querie and while I plop them into my PDA & GPSr, I take a quick peek at the forums. More than once I have given my watch that glassy-eyed stare and realize most or all of my available caching time has been...well, not wasted, but spent in the forums talking about caching rather than actual, real-live caching. It seems I am not alone. Oh, here comes another forum addict! "Pull up a chair and tell us about yourself. That's right, we care. We care enough to put off caching in order to help you out. Let's start with a discussion on..." Quote Link to comment
+Glenn Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 No, it's work that keeps me from caching not the forums. and it the forums that keep me from work. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I'm usually in the forums when I'm at work, or late at night or early in the morning so its not an issue of forum time cutting into my geocaching time. Quote Link to comment
+Husker Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I'm tying to keep my post total below my cache total. This post didn't help. Quote Link to comment
+robert Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Not really. I can stop anytime I want to. Quote Link to comment
+Thrak Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I hardly ever read or post in the forums. I've been a member for over a month now and this is only my 282nd post! I read and post at work and at times when I'm not likely to be caching anyway. Or at times (like now) when I should be mowing the lawn or something of that sort. I'll likely get out and grab maybe 3 caches today - maybe more, maybe not. I really need to start getting together a list of caches to do when I go to Montana next week. A few along the route and a few for when I'm there. Sigh......... work, work, work. Quote Link to comment
+mudbone Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I sure would like a way to filter the "view new Posts" to only show categories I'm interested. Would save lots of time. Quote Link to comment

+Nerves Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 The forums are way too addicting. I can sneak a peek while at work but can't sneak a cache at work. Quote Link to comment
+AuntieWeasel Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 The forums are way too addicting. Too slow, too slow, too slow. Must have more, faster. I've got two browser windows open with...let's see...fifteen tabs open in one, and five in the other. About half of those are discussion forums or blogs. And in about half of those, I am currently engaged in mortal combat over some trivial issue or other. I periodically walk down the list and refresh each page. Of course, I am slightly more discreet at work. I have about half that many sites open. Wow. I'm kind of a loser. (Today, I emailed that horrible, vile, disgusting graphic at the top of the thread to everyone I know. I wish I'd drawn it. Most agreed it was a pretty good likeness). Quote Link to comment
+Thrak Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I too find the forums here don't really move all that fast compared to the ones I have until recently been cruising on vn boards. LOL - I have well over 4k posts over there although many of them are in the technical help forums. Quote Link to comment

+Night Stalker Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I'm pretty sure that I am not a forum addict because my logs on the forums are still less then my found caches. Quote Link to comment
+4leafclover Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I'm tying to keep my post total below my cache total. This post didn't help. I just post mostly in off topic...Where the posts don't count! therefore, unless you do a search for all my posts, you don't SEE how often I frequent the forums... Quote Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Yes. What was the question? Quote Link to comment
