+Team GPSaxophone Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 May 4th -> The Hamster Labour Day May 5th - Anniversary of my evil "Cinco de Saxo" 5/5 puzzle cache. I'd provide a link, but the site is down (as noted in the OP). Quote Link to comment
+roziecakes Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I'm excited to see what the hamsters do!! Quote Link to comment
+Too Tall John Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Miss Jenn says to go caching while the site's down. I'm gonna need one of them fancy geo-umbrellas.... Who am I kidding? I'm going to find a cache anyways. Quote Link to comment
+roziecakes Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 It might be what I do after work. I was smart and loaded up my PQs... Quote Link to comment

jholly Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 No wonder the PQ's get screwed up from time to time, they assemble them manually. Is that Nate holding the rod to keep the kids working? Quote Link to comment
+TomToad Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Anyone notice the hamsters going too work and none coming from work? Considering that GC is up 24/7, you would think there would be a shift change. I think that the hamsters are actually put on the wheels and forced to run until they die, then are replaced by a batch of new hamsters. That's why the site has been so buggy lately, the poor hamsters were nearing their death Quote Link to comment

+dfx Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Are these UNIONIZED hamsters? I don't know if the hamsters are ionized or not (un-ionized ) but I believe they're either pasteurized or ozonated. Quote Link to comment

+MissJenn Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Thank goodness that video with me in it is down now. Phew! It's been replaced by ... a live website! Quote Link to comment
+jacob501 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I don't really like the website...sorry..but when you search for a cache and it comes up with the results everything just looks too scrunched in the middle of the page...and i don't like the new smiley faces either...they are kind of ugly...oh well, you don't get everything in life! Quote Link to comment
+Chokecherry Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Can we move the feed back tab somewhere. On the cache pages it's kind of a pain to read text with the tab over it. Quote Link to comment
+mtn-man Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) Thank goodness that video with me in it is down now. Phew! It's been replaced by ... a live website! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Two certain volunteer global mods probably loved seeing hamsters AND admin bricks AND MissJenn all in the same video. But alas, they have the memories.

+Sioneva Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Aaaargh, is there any way to get rid of the "Recent Activity" slideshow thingie? It's really annoying. I'm glad someone in Germany logged a cache, but really, it doesn't seem justified to give it that much prominence. On the old site, it was easy to ignore. Quote Link to comment

To Sword Fern, Groundspeak did not start the addicting sport of geocaching, but they were the first to capitalize on it. Quote Link to comment
