+TeamZebra Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 OK am I just blind or did it disappear? There used to be a locationless cache for special event search pages on Google.. like the ones with hearts for the O's in Google for Valentine's day, or the Father's day one with the dad in the hammock. You had to post your log on the day of the special search page logo and include the soecial logo in your log. I can't find it anymore. Anybody seen it, am I looking in the wrong place or has it gone away? Link to comment
+Lil Devil Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 has it gone away? God I hope so. I don't see how on Earth that even remotely has anything to do with geocaching Link to comment
+Snoogans Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 (edited) has it gone away? God I hope so. I don't see how on Earth that even remotely has anything to do with geocaching Geeze! Just because you don't like it, it certainly doesn't invalidate it for someone else. You probably could find out ( or already know )and help a brother out but nooooo. Zebra dude, Check out Waymarking.com. That would be my helpful guess. Edited September 28, 2005 by Snoogans Link to comment

+robert Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 This site won't be getting use that much longer... but I don't see it on there. Not sure how you'd submit coords for a Google page, though. Link to comment
+Lil Devil Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 You probably could find out ( or already know )and help a brother out but nooooo. OK fine. I checked and the only thing I could find is a Googie view which is phonetically similar, but totally different Link to comment
+Chance Encounter Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 (edited) That's my locationless, but it's listed on the other site: Google Up A Locationless! You must be logged in to your terracaching account for the link to work. Edited September 28, 2005 by Chance Encounter Link to comment

You had to post your log on the day of the special search page logo and include the soecial logo in your log. I can't find it anymore. Anybody seen it, am I looking in the wrong place or has it gone away? Is this a cache that was listed here as a locationless? If so and based on what you describe, my guess is that is has gone away because it doesn't sound anything like Waymarking or geocaching. It sounds like "playing on the internet" for smileys...but maybe I'm missing something. If it was listed here at one time and has been archived, I Sometimes try to remember a user who has logged it before and then look at their user stats in their profile to find the link to it.

+Salvelinus Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 That's my locationless, but it's listed on the other site: Google Up A Locationless! You must be logged in to your terracaching account for the link to work. Now I'm really confused, since your GC,com profile doesn't show any cache owned by you that is similar to what the OP describes Did the locationless cache referenced by the OP ever exist here?

+The Leprechauns Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 No, it's never been listed here, only on the other site. (With another account, I can see archived locationless caches.) I like Waymarking, I like it a lot. Link to comment
Pto Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I like Waymarking, I like it a lot. So when is that going to be public? "Soon" has come and gone, as expected..... Curious to see if its worth $3...... Link to comment

Curious to see if its worth $3...... I'd be surprised if you were still complaining about the $3 issue after, say, the first week of November. Link to comment
Pto Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Its not the $3 - its the waiting waiting waiting So, should I take this to mean soon is coming, in early Nov? Link to comment
+Salvelinus Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 No, it's never been listed here, only on the other site. That clears it up, thanks Lep. Seems the message should of been posted on the "other" forums. Link to comment
+Kealia Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 has it gone away? God I hope so. I don't see how on Earth that even remotely has anything to do with geocaching Going to have to agree (unless I'm missign something). How does finding a search page and taking a screenshot have anything to do with caching? I understand it's on the other site, but it's still a valid question? Willing to change my position if somebody can enlighten me; but I don't get it either. Link to comment

I understand it's on the other site, but it's still a valid question? Willing to change my position if somebody can enlighten me; but I don't get it either. Judging from the cache's quality (MCE) score as rated by the TC community, many others agree that it is not a proper locationless. The cache is currently rated a meagre 3.5 out of 10. If it continues to drop in quality rating (by accruing more negative ratings), it will be automatically archived by the TC.com system. Link to comment

Hmm..how on earth can people rate caches and then other people could use that information to select which caches they'd like to seek??...interesting concept! Link to comment

I like that site, but they condone rating caches based on your OPINION of how the cache page looks. Yeah AS IF that's fair or even useful. (unless you're a cheater and you want to drive down your opponent's score.) Guess why they won't be getting ANY more of my money toward membership? I'll still use the site. It's actually quite good. I might buy TC products, but I won't continue membership. Edited September 28, 2005 by Snoogans Link to comment

I wouldn't expect to ever see a rating system that would lead to auto-archiving of a listing on this site. Seems like a great way to create geo-litter. In this case it is locationless so it is a non-issue, but for physical caches it seems rather irresponsible. Link to comment

Any system, automatic or manual, that doesn't somehow confirm the remains of a cache is removed leaves open the potential for geolitter. Link to comment
Jeremy Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Asked and answered. Follow up on terracaching.com since it isn't geocaching related. Closing the thread. Link to comment
