+Seth! Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Even though the griping about memberships has died down, it seems like the forums get more and more lame. Have you noticed that there are guys like "The KGB" who have only left their computers long enough to log 4 finds but have 119 forum posts? What's up with that?! I think I'm going to stay away from the "general" forums and stick to the "Northwest" forums, where at least we have *real* geocachers who post intelligent topics. Except this one. - Seth!

+MattandLaura Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 they even have a chartered membership. Maybe they are new and waiting for nicer weather or got into a deep discussion for some reason or other. Quote Link to comment
+oregone Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Yeah, i try my best not to reply to any posts on the general discussion board. It's all just the same stuff recycled every two months or so. Some of it's kinda funny though. But i chech the NW forums daily because i don't want to miss out on spur-of-the-moment get-togethers and such. Sometimes people put concert or game tickets in caches they've already been to and post it here, too. I like the NW forums because i think i know everyone here. Maybe not directly, but i've probably found one of your caches! all rights reserved, all wrongs reversed Quote Link to comment
+Bodoni Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 And you can choose to PopIt! for the NW forums so you get mailed any time there's a new posting. Jeremy's said he's going to try to narrow it down to just a state, but for now the NW forum is closest you can get to home. Quote Link to comment
+Navdog Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 There has definitely been a dilution of useful information and somewhat depressing that one of the most frequent posters doesn't even know basic grammar or spelling. It is nice to see that the "Northwest" section is getting more use from the Portland area cachers.

+makaio Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 There are a ton of geocaching Yahoo groups on the state level (geocaching_ut (Utah), geocachng_ca (Calif), wageocaching (Washington), etc. We could certainly start one for Oregon. If anyone is so inclined, post it here and I'll join up (I've not the time to be the group moderator) Quote Link to comment
+MattandLaura Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 I started a NW one on Yahoo. I'll start an Oregon only one. I'll post the URL soon Quote Link to comment
+Wander Lost Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 I agree the weeks right after the Charter Membership announcements were amusing. But I lean more towards this forum as well. Not so much garbage to wade through. And I'm starting to feel like I know most everyone already. "No matter where you go, there you are." -- Buckaroo Banzai Quote Link to comment

+CameraThyme Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Northwest Forums are the funnest to read. I love the Yahoo group too. I think it leads to bonding and more caching, and the comfort to directly contact players in getting ideas and assistance, information and suggestions! Long live Geocaching ...
