+Condorito Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I was having a look at blog.geocaching.com today, and noticed that the polls are slightly outdated... Has anyone else noticed? Can GS update or remove them? Here's the one i saw today: Quote Link to comment
+Cardinal Red Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I was having a look at blog.geocaching.com today, and noticed that the polls are slightly outdated... Has anyone else noticed? Can GS update or remove them? Here's the one i saw today: I think you are totally ms-understanding what you think you are reading. While I think it's stupid, its not outdated. One of the few things Groundspeak has correctly stood by is that Geocaching is NOT a competition, though many cachers refuse to accept that. I would be more interested to see Groundspeak fix the site so it would actually be able to handle a new record number of accounts logging finds, without dragging the site down to a standstill. I suspect we won't be reading about that problem in Latitude 47 any time soon. Quote Link to comment

Hey, i think you are misunderstanding what i am saying I'm saying that the poll refer to should we(future) on 11-11-11(2yrs ago). This poll is not relevant anymore. I'm not saying its a competition or anything like that... I am also interested in seeing feature updates. I was just mentioning that this is 2013 and i saw a poll on the blog relating to 2011... That is all. Hope its clearer now Quote Link to comment

+Viajero Perdido Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) I went to the blog yesterday, looking for some hint as to what the emergency was down in the boiler room (the site was down). That was a waste of time. Edited April 23, 2013 by Viajero Perdido Quote Link to comment

Anyway, My bad... GC Poll : Should the geocaching community attempt to break the record again for 'accounts logging caches in a single day' on 11-11-11? I agree with your initial reading... On 11-11-11 is outside the single quotes, which makes that the day of the attempt to break the record mentioned inside the single quotes. Thus it is two years old. It is asking about another try to break the record mentioned on a specific day. Positioning of the single quotes is important here... but only to the meaning. Perhaps they meant to change the date yearly? Doug 7rxc Quote Link to comment

BRTango Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I'm all for trying to break the record set on 11-11-11... I'm going to try and log as many caches on 13-13-13 as I can. Quote Link to comment
