+Rubarbb Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) When my partner and I started caching we registered as a team name. Unfortunately things haven't worked out and we have split up but I'm sure we both want to carry on caching. I'll probably take over the current account as I paid for the premium membership but just want to know if its OK for him to go back and log the caches we did together on his new account as I'm sure he won't want to go find them all again. Has anyone else been in this situation and able to give advice? Also is it possible to move a geocoin from one accont to another? Thanks Ellen Edited August 5, 2008 by jamesandellen Quote Link to comment

+Jacobite Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) D U M P all the baggage ..................... I mean ALL ............ leave ALL the past --- in the past... get a life of your own ...................... That is, by far, the most ridiculous anwser you could have given!! That's not helpful! Here's my advice, Aly (arockand&hardplace) and I were once part of the same team (Jacobite). We had our differences and Aly decided to create a new account of her own. She did consider asking cache owners if she could log the caches she had found under our Jacobite account to her new acount, but decided just to go back and sign the logs instead. However, I'm sure most cache owner wouldn't have a problem with former member of your team retrospectively logging caches they had found, as long as the cache owners knew what the situation was. Thankfully, recent (or not so recent) changes in account management have made it easier for people in your postion to deal with this type of situation. Dec's above post explains everything with account management that you should need to know. Hope this helps. Edited, as I thought I was a little too harsh on The Syllogiser.

This does not help not everyone shares the same experience when splitting up. Quote Link to comment
+Matrix Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) Sorry to hear that Ellen I have no problem with James logging any of my caches that you had done together and I am sure that would be the case with any others. Also if you want any TB or Coin codes let me know. Mike Edited August 5, 2008 by Matrix Quote Link to comment
+HazelS Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Hi Ellen I'm sorry to hear you split.... I went through the same thing 2 years ago, and we split the account, I took the main account, as I did the logging etc, and he set up a new account. Fortunately (for me) he no longer caches and it's been a nice clean break, and he didn't re log the caches we did together. This would have been perfectly acceptable, and I know of several people that have done just this. Hope you'll soon be out caching and having fun again. Quote Link to comment
+The Syllogiser Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Well, it's nice to know that some people still think it's more important to leave your "anonymous" nickname on a website as a memorial to a failed relationship than getting your life sorted out and back on track to lifelong happiness .......

+Bear and Ragged Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 You can backlog caches found with: "Found with "Name here", now have my own account" or such on the log. TB's and coins (ans any owned caches) can be adopted, there is a link... I'll have a look, or someone else may have it. Splits do happen... Bear and Ragged, previously KandG Quote Link to comment

The Syllogiser, If I could decrypt your monologue, it would probably annoy me. What is being discussed are matters of account management, and not personal relationship problems, of which you have no knowledge. There are places on the web that deal with the issues you have raised, however, this is not the place. Quote Link to comment
