Geostats - what happened to it?

[+btonyb]

Hello Portugese Cachers,

 

I'm sorry to post in English but as I dont know Portugese, I hope an english speaker can help me out with this question.

 

I used to love to visit the Portugese geostats site to see activity in and around my area.

At the end of April, it stopped working completely. Some kind of explanation has been posted in Portugese but Google doesnt translate it very well.

Does anyone know the story behind this? Could you please help translate the Portugese words to English for me.

 

Thanks much,

TonyB

Basically, the site gathered data from Geocaching.com in a way that violated Geocaching.com's Terms of Use. Groundspeak asked them to stop. They did. That's why the site is no longer available.
