+GBOTS Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 Very amusing idea just when you thought all the original ideas had been done... Quote
+AtlantaGal Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 So is the city one the first that will be sold then? Quote
+cqdx Posted April 23, 2006 Author Posted April 23, 2006 Yes, Big City will be first and the order above will be the order of release. Quote
+The Blind Acorn Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Cute idea.... I hate those cache containers though. Quote
+Kealia Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Very amusing idea just when you thought all the original ideas had been done... No, just the good ideas. Quote
+cqdx Posted April 24, 2006 Author Posted April 24, 2006 An Internet "troll" is a person who delights in sowing discord on the Internet. He (and it is usually he) tries to start arguments and upset people. Trolls are utterly impervious to criticism (constructive or otherwise). You cannot negotiate with them; you cannot cause them to feel shame or compassion; you cannot reason with them. They cannot be made to feel remorse. For some reason, trolls do not feel they are bound by the rules of courtesy or social responsibility. Perhaps this sounds inconceivable. You may think, "Surely there is something I can write that will change them." But a true troll can not be changed by mere words. Quote

Sorry if you don't like my criticisms of your coins, but that's what you get when you post in a public forum. Thanks for taking a shot at me personally while I've limited my comments to your coins.

Thanks for taking a shot at me personally while I've limited my comments to your coins. Personally, I think it's your avatar - but don't change it, please. I know many people are amused by the reactions to it. Quote
+The Blind Acorn Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 What is with people lately? Seems like every post I've read this evening has someone snipping or egging someone else on... I said the idea was cute, don't like those cache containers personally as they aren't durable. So if you are calling me a troll, whatever... Quote
+Eartha Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 I would like to remind everyone to stay on topic and that in these forums we show respect for one and other. We have forum guidelines: Respect: Respect the guidelines for forum usage, and site usage. Respect Groundspeak, its employees, volunteers, yourself, fellow community members, and guests on these boards. Whether a community member has one post or 5,000 posts, they deserve the same respect. Personal Attacks and Flames will not be tolerated. If you want to praise or criticize, give examples as to why it is good or bad, general attacks on a person or idea will not be tolerated. Quote
+cqdx Posted April 24, 2006 Author Posted April 24, 2006 Thanks for the post Eartha. Maybe we can delete the posts that are not within these guidelines. I appreciate your time and effort Quote
+Kealia Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Well, there's only one that falls under that. I wasn't the one who called somebody else a name (don't worry, I have thick skin). It's simple: if you're going to post ideas/creations, etc. in these forums you're going to get both positive and negative feedback and comments. You'll note that my comment was directed towards the coin idea itself and not a flame towards you personally. Not sure why my lone feedback raises so much concern/ire, anyway. It's just one person's opinion. Nothing excels or pushed forward with innovation or the cream rising to the top without discussion, feedback, and criticism. I see what's happening to the coins and I'm willing to take the heat for my criticisms of the coins and ideas that I don't like. I don't think my comments lay down the law, or carry any more weight that anybody else's. Don't give me that much credit. So, to stay on topic: I don't like the design/idea and won't be buying any.

+budd-rdc Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Personally, I think the design is clever. Any chance of a Limited Edition "rust" version? Quote
+cqdx Posted April 24, 2006 Author Posted April 24, 2006 Personally, I think the design is clever. Any chance of a Limited Edition "rust" version? There will be a limited edition run of each type, but it will be a glow in the dark version. Quote
+m_and_w Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Great idea, would love to get two when they are available. Quote
+GBOTS Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 Very amusing idea just when you thought all the original ideas had been done... No, just the good ideas. As you stated, you don't like the coin... I do, I still think it's an original and good idea Our longest standing cache is in an Altoids tin Actually they don't all leak. Some are quite water tight. We'll have to have a couple of these.
