+Blueflashlight Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I just adopted a cache that has been in place since 2001. I have changed the description and information very little. I added a "Thank you" to those that originally placed the cache, as well as the original owner for allowing me to adopt it. My question is, do I leave the "Placed by" name the same? Or change it? In this case, it is just a series of initials of those involved in the original placement. I don't want to step on anyone's geo-toes here... Quote Link to comment
ao318 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I adopted caches and I left the placed by name the same but added after it, "adopted by ao318". This shows who initially placed it and who now maintains it. Quote Link to comment

+Blueflashlight Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Thanks! Seems the obvious "correct answer" Quote Link to comment
+Pluddle Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I'm leaving and have people lined up to adopt my caches, but don't know how to transfer the ownership. Can someone fill me in on how to do this? Thank you! Pluddle Quote Link to comment

Can someone fill me in on how to do this? Thank you! Pluddle I just went through the process, and it was quite easy. I hope you are leaving the area, not the hobby!! Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I adopted caches and I left the placed by name the same but added after it, "adopted by ao318". This shows who initially placed it and who now maintains it. Can't go wrong with this answer. I'll normally leave the original owner as the "placed by" person without even mentioning myself, but after a few years on a couple caches - considering the extensive changes, I decided that it was enough to call the cache mine. Lock, stock and barrel. Quote Link to comment
+Pluddle Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Adoption invites were sent out! Thanks for the help. Couldn't find that link in any of the FAQs... Quote Link to comment
