Moun10Bike Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 What's the little blue squares? And a WARN log? The blue squares are a graphic representation of how many posts you have. New people to the forums or people who don't post a lot have a single square; those with 1000 or more posts have 4 squares. The warn meter is an idicator of how close you are to getting banned from the forums. If you break forum posting guidelines (such as with an offensive post), your warn level will go up. Moderators are responsible for adjusting warn levels. Quote Link to comment
+EraSeek Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Well... right now I see 5 faded orange ones and 0%. Do they change color with bad behavior or am I already there Quote Link to comment
+EraSeek Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 I see the post count are back. That's good. I like them better than the squares. Guess I'm safe on the Warn thing (whew!). I really like the new boards. Fun exploring them too. And QUICK! Nice. Thanks Jeremy (and helpers). I can be imaginary once again. Quote Link to comment
+Pepper Posted November 20, 2003 Author Share Posted November 20, 2003 Well, well, well Good moring to all. Wow I guess I was going thru a little withdraw myself. I missed it all yesterday cause the twins had my computer ALL afternoon and evening, (new game). Just checking it out at this point. Pepper Quote Link to comment
+evergreenhiker! Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Hey Pepper, I might swing by your place if I go caching today. are you accepting more than one signed bandanas? Really hope the rain dies down some. Now I'm looking at your puzzle one...doesn't look too bad. JUst gotta do some research. Quote Link to comment
+TotemLake Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 FTF for posting here! Glad to see the forums back. Gotta admit had a bit of a withdrawal. Didnt' realize how much I use the forums daily to check on things. Indeed! If it wasn't for the news groups, I woulda been found in a fetal position sucking my thumb. Quote Link to comment
+Pepper Posted November 20, 2003 Author Share Posted November 20, 2003 EGH as many bandana's as I can get the better. Pepper Quote Link to comment
+CachinCin Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 I lost my first cache to a flood. Pepper came out to play today, and we went to check on my 5 Year Cache.....which seems to currently be under water. Has anyone else lost caches to flooding this year? Cin Quote Link to comment
+EraSeek Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 (edited) Yes. I have. One was recovered floating in 5 feet of water on a nearby horse ranch. It was dry inside. I have to go check on a number of mine after the latest rains and tie them down this time. Yahoo! still at 0% warn level! Edited November 21, 2003 by EraSeek Quote Link to comment

Cin Hey Cin Very early this year (January 2), I lost my Something Fishy cache to unusually high tides. It was quite sad, as it was the first cache that I had ever placed. Sorry about yours-we can mourn our caches together! Quote Link to comment
+Pepper Posted November 21, 2003 Author Share Posted November 21, 2003 (edited) I just clicked on my warning (0%) with my 5 little light orange square boxes and I think it means if your bad in the forums you get a warning. I guess if you bad all the time your little orange squares trun red and your sent to your room. Pepper Edited November 21, 2003 by Team SuperGenius Quote Link to comment

Cindy and I struck out along with two other young men who have not posted there DNF yet. Hopefully we will be back on it today. Pepper Quote Link to comment
+charis_sophia Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 On the Dragon Hunter cache, how did you determine what game to play? I think I'm missing something here. Quote Link to comment

Hopefully this Sunday I'll go into a cache binge mode. Clean house on the eastside providing weather cooperates. Quote Link to comment

+evergreenhiker! Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Today Pepper of Supergenius, me, Moun10Bike, Wienerdog, and LucyandRickie went out caching. We hit 7 out of 8. Can't remember the one we couldn't find. Apparently washed away. Anyhow, the cache we were really targeting was this one: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...6-2B67A738E782} EraSeek caches are some of my favorites to do. He takes you to cool places. I highly recommend this one! At another cache, Fir Island Rookery, we saw a bald eagle perched up on a tree. Forgot my camera though...dadgum! I think others in the group took pics so perhaps one will be posted. We also saw blue herons here and there in the region. All in all a great day!!! Quote Link to comment
+evergreenhiker! Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Awesome! Jeremy has now added grand total of finds in our stats tab of our bio page. Thanks Jeremy! Quote Link to comment
+Pepper Posted November 23, 2003 Author Share Posted November 23, 2003 Yes today was an awesome day of caching with all of the 4digit cachers in WA. I realized I was the only one of the group to have not hit 1000 yet. Oh well no matter what an amazing day! My thanks go out to EraSeek for all of you hard that continually keeps we cachers entertained! Pepper Quote Link to comment

+CachinCin Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Anyone have fun geocaching plans for Thanksgiving? I know it will be wet, but hey, what's a little rain? I'm being treated to a scrumptious dinner by a fellow cacher on Thursday. I wonder if the turkey will be stuffed with cache items? No no, she wouldn't do that to us without making us search for it first....would she? Does this mean I need to bring my GPS? Hmmm....and maybe my backpack.... do I need any rain gear? Naw, that's probably too much... Never go anywhere without fresh batteries for your GPS, Cin Quote Link to comment

Oh, and she's making me vegetarian stuffing; that's above and beyond the call of duty. Hmmmm....just to get this back to the topic of geocaching.... Has anyone been working on a good puzzle cache lately? tricky/devious hides? unique multi-caches? Jeff has 4 days off this week, and I want to make sure he actually gets some R&R.
