+Team JOYSON Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 I'm posting this here since it has to do with caches & tb's here in the Portland area. I've noticed recently that there have been a lot more bugs getting lost along their ways (ie: Showing up in caches that they're not logged in, not being in caches that they're supposed to be in). Are we getting lazy when it comes to tracking bugs, or is it more the new users that haven't quite figured out how to do it yet? Am I the only one that's noticed this? Quote Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 I guess it is step in the right direction. Rather than going AWOL they're now just running randomly from cache to cache Quote Link to comment

+brawdy Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 after going missing last October, it suddenly re-appeared this past weekend. Thought he was a goner for sure. Now if only my other one out in the boonies in Wyoming would get picked up. ========================================================= It never does to leave a live Dragon out of the equation.

+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 I'm done putting out travel bugs. I have 4 total. One went missing just a few days after I placed it. Another was picked up in hawaii nearly a year ago and still in the hand of the cacher. Who had only one find. So it's gone as he's never responded to my e-mails. The only one I have any faith in is my Pizza Travel Bug which we use to track our monthly pizza events. I hear voices.....and they don't like you! Quote Link to comment
+flir~girl Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 I was wondering what happened to Hopsteiner TB that we put into a cache in Pacific City. Then I saw it get picked up at Goose Hollow. What happened in between? My last talk with "Miss Cleo" said something about new people not knowing about the tracking process, let alone the logging process, but then she went on about tax evasion, attorney generals and fake id's and totally lost me. Wonder how she's doing? "To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower....." William Blake Quote Link to comment
+Team JOYSON Posted March 17, 2003 Author Share Posted March 17, 2003 What's with the price hike on bugs? When we started less than a year ago, they were like $3 something per bug... now they're almost double. Has the price of aluminum really gone up that much?

+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 They can charge a million bucks apiece or give them away. I'm done with them. Too many of them end up missing. I hear voices.....and they don't like you! Quote Link to comment
+Team JOYSON Posted March 17, 2003 Author Share Posted March 17, 2003 Lots of caches go missing too... does that mean you give them up? I'm not meaning to be antagonistic (ok, so maybe I am). I guess the biggest difference is that Caches go missing for reasons often times outside of the caching community's control, however TBs usually go missing as a direct result of other cachers. I guess it's kinda like when bugs get moved from one cache to another without being logged. By the way... I've noticed recently that there have been a lot more bugs getting lost along their ways (ie: Showing up in caches that they're not logged in, not being in caches that they're supposed to be in). Are we getting lazy when it comes to tracking bugs, or is it more the new users that haven't quite figured out how to do it yet? Am I the only one that's noticed this?

+bazzle Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 You may not be 'charged', but I usually spend more then $6 on a cache when I put it out. Either way things get lost.

+oregone Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 is that with the exception of two TJ dollars, 5 bazzle coins, a gg&gr chip, a few joedohn items, a pdxmm set of laces, a fractal marble, and about a baker's dozen other things, EVERYTHING is like a travel bug in that it lasts about two or three cache hunts before it gets dropped off in another cache or placed in one that i've hidden. travel bugs, in my opinion, are for people that like extra notification emails. I, for one, grab them from caches and move them along as rapidly as possible. And i like checking up on the ones i've had by looking at 'my cache page.' It truly is interesting to me to find out where these things end up. all rights reserved, all wrongs reversed Quote Link to comment
