+The Golem Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 (edited) Will we reach 20,000 caches by this weekend/end of this month etc? Edited to add: Probably not... Edited April 18, 2007 by The Golem Quote
+The Golem Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Will we reach an unspecified number of active cachers by such and such a date? Quote
+The Golem Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 A Sock Puppet police squad! That'd be useful Quote
+minxyy Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 OK a list of yes no questions and then were off out? Is it new today? Is it a new server? Is it based in the UK? Is it a new forum? Is it an object? Is it totally webbased? Is it free for everyone to have/join? What is it? That'll keep you going for a while???? Think we need to start the animal, mineral or veggitable style of questioning with him folks!! He's such a tease Quote

alistair_uk Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 "Will we or won't we?" Is that a decision that needs to be made? Is that a goal that will be will be achieved? How much alcohol will need to be supplied to get the answer? Is the information on a .co.uk web site? Is the information on a .org.uk web site? Is the information on a .com web site? Quote
+minxyy Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 The links that don't work will be removed? The Geocaching 'on line mag' will be released? Ohhh that's it were off for a walk and dinner.... Quote

Edgemaster Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 21000 caches? (according to G:UK, probably includes archived) 17459 currently active (according to GC.com) Quote
+The Northumbrian Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Geocaching is going to be subscription only membership from August this year, and will be an annual payment of $35 US Dollars to participate. Not bad considering the present £ to $ rate Nige Quote

Alan White Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 (edited) My moneys on Golem.... A targets close to being reached? YES Highest number of UK caches placed in a week, or breaking the 300/week milestone? A phenomenal 291 in the last seven days, as at 14:20 today. Edit: and 297 at 21:39...

+rutson Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Judging by this, I reckon we're on for 1000 caches placed this month. Quote

+FunLovingGeocacher Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Due to the increasing number of caches to be reviwed before publishing it has been decided to introduce celebrety reviewers. Already lined up:- The Krankies, Russ Abbot and Vernon Kay Quote
+Bambography Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Judging by this, I reckon we're on for 1000 caches placed this month. Which in turn means that 3 people have reviewed 1000 caches in a month (plus all the extra work like maintainance & forums)! Well done chaps!!! Quote

+Us 4 and Jess Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 (edited) Does it involve something we are going to have to pay for? Are we going to find the answer out today? And is it something technical? (cos if it goes beyond me putting own numbers into my yellow or printing off a cache sheet, it won't matter to me anyway ) Mandy Edited April 18, 2007 by Us 4 and Jess Quote

+Stuey Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Nothing exciting then? or is it something that the UK should be proud of? I imagine the USA have done this regularly, but what about other countries? Quote

I imagine the USA have done this regularly, but what about other countries? But what about when you compare the sizes of the countries? Cache growth is more or less literally exponential, which as any fule kno means that the number of caches placed is proportional to the number in place. Therefore, you can work out which countries have probably hit 1000 in a month: they're the ones with more caches than the UK. That comes down to three: USA, Canada, and Germany. If you split USA and Canada into states/provinces then there are no Canadian provinces in the running on their own, but Kah-li-for-ni-ah and (probably) Texas would be in there. Quote

+SidAndBob Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 That's one new cache for every 10 square miles. Now that's impressive. Quote

Will we or won't we be the first country in the world to give handicaching ratings to the majority of its caches? (We're currently up to about 48%, compared with a worldwide average of just 3%). That's something the UK should be proud of! Quote

On the last three occasions I have tried to update the Handicaching statistics from Uk Geocaching it has failed with errors.... Up until that point I'd rated every one of the caches I'd done! J Quote
