+KRON family Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Dear colleagues, Challenges are going to retire, so I have an idea. What about returning of webcam caches? Grandfathered types of caches were replaced by challenges. Because challenges are gone now, there is time to bring webcam caches back to geocaching.com. With webcam caches you can experience the fun, you need GPS to arrival at the right place. And there is not too much webcams that can cause a webcam caches plague. Who has not like webcam caches, it is certainly a reasonable man and can ignore it. If you agree with idea "Bring webcam caches back to geocaching.com", please, reply to this post. Thank you. Quote

+bflentje Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 I love doing webcam caches. But if they allowed them back, I'd quickly lose my ranking as 6th or 7th in the world in terms of webcam cache finds. Where does a guy like me stand??? Quote
+osnica Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) I like it. I only found one (it is already archived but the webcam is still active) and I don't think there are any active ones currently in the 60km radius around my HC. For as long as you can take a snapshot using a smartphone, they are fun! Edited December 6, 2012 by osnica Quote
+rasg Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 It's good idea!!!! We want back webcaches!!!!!!!!!!!!!uaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Quote
valinkavalinka Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 I agree with this great idea, webcam caches are really amazing. Quote
+Tom007 Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) webcam live, geocaching live WEBCAM comeback !!! Edited December 6, 2012 by Tom007 Quote
+The A-Team Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Well, I think we've now determined that every cacher in the Czech Republic wants them back! Did the OP organize Czech cachers so they could all come on here at the same time and support their idea? Quote
+The A-Team Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Okay, seriously, getting every Czech cacher to come here and say "I agree" won't make it happen. Suggesting ways to get around the problems with Webcam caches would be a far better way of advancing this proposal. Quote
+VladoTA3 Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Nice idea, please again go to webcam cache. Greetings from Slovakia. Quote

+niraD Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 I enjoy logging webcam caches, but I don't think Groundspeak should start listing new ones. They might have made an interesting category of Geocaching Challenges, but those are dead. Quote

Suggesting ways to get around the problems with Webcam caches would be a far better way of advancing this proposal. Wow, that is one concerted effort! Well, this is how the souvenirs got decided on, wasn't it? Is there a Fizzbook page somewhere, encouraging people to log in here and post? B. Edited December 6, 2012 by Pup Patrol Quote
+HoficiCZ Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Bring webcam caches back to geocaching.com Quote
+milanoxx Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 I like webcam caches! It's really good idea to return it back! Quote
+Beach_hut Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Have you noticed how many people advancing the idea haven't ever posted in the forums before. If this happens, I'd be happy. But let's say its not top of my Xmas list. Quote

+nafah Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Just bring us sth new. Webcams back? Ok lets be it Quote
Trnec Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Bring webcam caches back to geocaching.com, please! Quote
+Gustav129 Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 I have yet to do one. But I'd have fun making one too. Could maybe a game camera be used instead of a web cam? That would be cool too. Compare time stamps with date and time on log books. Quote
+ChileHead Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Good news! They are back! All you have to do is go here: http://tinyurl.com/webcamcaches Quote

+DadOf6Furrballs Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Sometimes, during a long stressful day at work, I take a short break and come to the geocaching forums to look around. Once in a while, I find threads like this one. After reading the posts, I smile, close the browser and go back to work, knowing that all is well with the space-time continuum. Quote

(Sounds like another Pratchett reader ) But back to the topic - it's really fun to see this topic BUT please Czech brothers and sisters, this is debate forum, not opinion poll And really back to the topic - if somebody wants webcams, there's category at Waymarking, so no problem to made new ones or "hunt" some of them. If there could be some new cache type, which could replace disappearing challenges, I prefer some kind of new "history-caches" - something between virtuals and earthcaches...

+The A-Team Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Is there a Fizzbook page somewhere, encouraging people to log in here and post? No, but there's a post by the OP over in the Geocaching.cz forums asking people to do so. Can someone fluent in Czech please post in that discussion and ask people to stop making useless posts over here? If you want webcam caches to come back, suggest ways of accomplishing this. Simply cluttering up this discussion won't accomplish anything. Quote

It's there and I hope that the way of discussion now change... Quote
+Beach_hut Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) definitely might be time for this thread to be locked if a competitor site is suggesting carpet-bombing this thread (is it a competitor site?) Didn't see last post. I'll retract this request in the hope the discussion might move forward.... Edited December 6, 2012 by Beach_hut Quote
+Teuto-Yachter Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Challenges are going to retire, so I have an idea. What about returning of webcam caches? A very good idea, I'd say. I even own(ed) a webcam challenge - which is now going under with the rest, of course. Quote
