+tmbarta Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I've been Geocaching for a couple years and recently my girlfriend started going with me. I've been signing the geocaches she has found with me as "tmbarta and girlfriend". My girlfried just set up a Geocache account and her username is "and girlfriend" Would it be bad etiquette for her to go back and log the finds? All opinions are welcome and thanks in advance.

Neos2 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Folks do just exactly that all the time. If I were her, I'd add a note saying something like, "Logged with tmbarta, and now I'm logging under my own name. Thanks" at the beginning or end of each log. Quote Link to comment
+ventura_kids Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Yep... That's always acceptable in my opinion (and my opinion is always the correct one). If I were her, I'd log them with the old dates too. That is worded funny.... She should log them with the same calendar date that you logged them with. I see that all the time. ex - june 03 - Re-logging under my own name. Found it with old boyfriend before we broke up. Quote Link to comment
+Cardinal Red Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Folks do just exactly that all the time. If I were her, I'd add a note saying something like, "Logged with tmbarta, and now I'm logging under my own name. Thanks" at the beginning or end of each log. I would only add that I've seen way to many of these where "Logged with (insert cacher name here), and now I'm logging under my own name. Thanks" is the ENTIRE log. While that gets you the smiley it doesn't do much for the cache owner or the cache history. Have her read your old log then include something she remembers from that day. My old logs ALWAYS bring back memories of a find. Quote Link to comment
+Kit Fox Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. (Off topic) What would you do if your "and girlfriend," becomes "and wife?" Quote Link to comment
ljay Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 PErfectly acceptable. I've just helped my mum make her own profile and log all the caches that she got with Dad and i. We put on all of them that she was looging find's that she got with us and the exact same date we found them and i agree with the Cardinal we put some of her own observations in for the day as well. (like the one she found while dad and i were still half way down the hill arguing about co-ords) Quote Link to comment
+Sagefox Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. (Off topic) What would you do if your "and girlfriend," becomes "and wife?" Right. It might be good to mention that we can't change our geocache alias without starting a new account and then there is no way to transfer log entries to the new account. Quote Link to comment
+paulandstacey Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Actually, there is a process now by which you can apply for a name change. If your reasoning is sound, it's permissable by TPTB. Quote Link to comment

+x_Marks_the_spot Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 (edited) I would also make sure she logs the right date. Date incontinuity really bugs me, for some reason. But aside from that it would be perfectly fine. Edited October 19, 2007 by x_Marks_the_spot Quote Link to comment
+Rattlebars Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 My grandson just got an account and in the last coupla weeks he's logged about forty some odd caches that he found way back. No complaints from the owners.... Heck some of our locals have newly created accounts for their pets and have been doing "Rover found this last year, but just got his account and is catching up."

ScottFla Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 'And girlfriend' is her caching name? Hilarious! She sounds like a keeper Quote Link to comment
+tmbarta Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 She most definitely is. AND thanks everybody for your responses. I appreciate it. Quote Link to comment
