Can Groundspeak make any more labels? Number of forum post no more make you a PRO than number of caches found. You either are a geocacher or you're not a geocacher. (Note: a tadpole is a baby geocacher, but still a geocacher.) Link to comment
+the_bell_dingers Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 whats the difference between platinum and premium membership? Link to comment
+webscouter. Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 whats the difference between platinum and premium membership? Platinum memberships are hand selected by a secret board. Only a few cachers a year are bestowed with this honor and most of them never let you know about their inclusion in this group. In all my years of caching and going to events I have only meet one that I know of for sure although I have meet a couple others that I believe have this level of membership. The only true way to tell is to get an invite yourself and have the Groundspeak jet pick you up for the annual meeting in Seattle. I think they give out the coordinates to all the puzzle caches and the top secret mapping software at this meeting. But as I have never been invited I am only guessing based on some of the cachers I have cached with. Link to comment

It's more curiosity... i have a lot of curiosity. i had many questions when i started out. instead of starting a new thread for every thought that popped into my head, i read the existing threads and sometimes even used the search function.

Keystone Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Can Groundspeak make any more labels? Yes. There are many, many more "labels" that you can use as you make more posts. Achieving the ability to use them is entirely within your control. Hint: posting more will not help. Link to comment

+ArcherDragoon Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Be it hereby known that thee, The_Bell_Dingers shall never be granted Platinum Level Status. Asking about it is the ONLY way to forever, never, be considered for that distinction. . . . By the way...that was a joke...taken from another thread...ironically... Link to comment

+sTeamTraen Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 How about, when someone gets to 100 posts, everybody who has posted in a thread which the 100-ee started, gets to vote on a forum title for them, which they then get to wear for a week or so? "For my 100th post, the forum regulars awarded me the title of -------". I'm sure there would be some interesting proposals. Link to comment
