i haven't stirred up my quota of trouble for today.

 

apparently we can say #^&* and *&$ and #&*$^ here, but we can't use the n-word.

 

there are a ton of reasons (well, maybe a half dozen. but they're definative.) why i do my game playing out of here (excuse me. "sporting information"). heck, if i could get a good game of cards here i might do that too.

 

so even if i SAY the n word it doesn't mean i'm going there.

 

oh wait. i went there today. it only confirmed this as the proper choice for all right thinking people (read "people like me, who have the same needs and opinions").

 

i'm sorry. maybe i just need more sleep.

 

it doesn't matter if you get to camp at one or at six. dinner is still at six.

Actually, you CANT say those other naughty words here either. If you click the search button, and type that naughty N word in, you will see that you CAN use it here, and read the reasons why its monitored.

Got GPS, "you cache with Platinum" but you have a color in your avatar. Did you get one of those too?

Oh yeah, Nav!cache. The whole 'N' word thing could be totally taken the wrong way.

From what I can gather GC.com was around before the "N" site but what I can't understand is why the name "geocache" or "geocaching" can be used so freely on other site(s). I mean how come only the GC logo is copyrighted and not the name?

 

I'll be honest, I have checked out the N site a few times before but there is no comparison. If I do a search for caches in a 25 mile radius on GC I get over 1500, if I do the same search over there Im lucky to get 30 and the nearest one is over 11 miles away!!

I was under the impresstion that it had been attempted. Or at.... that... Well Ill just let you decide.

From a post by Quinn Stone at Na-Vah-cash:

When N******** was first placed on the net I was contacted by Jeremy telling me that if I did not remove the word "Geocaching" from my website that I would face a lawsuit, and I was not the only one that was threatened with this as Buxleys Maps were also contacted in this fashion.

 

quote:
In the same thread, by another cacher:

geocaching.com also once claimed that Jeremy Irish coined the term "geocaching". He had to back off that claim when others provided evidence that Matt Stum deserves credit for that. But geocaching.com fails to credit him and still leaves the impression that Jeremy Irish was the first to use the term.

I would give a link, but I don't think the spam filters would like it.

There *are* actually areas where the other site has a superior selection. Not my area, though. My three and a handful of others are the only ones posted there for hundreds of miles around my house, and all of them are also posted here.

 

I do like their cache entry form better than the one here. They also seem to be a bit looser about rules over there. For instance, travelling caches have their own type over there, while they've been completely disallowed here. Overall though, this site is better IMO.

Alot of talk here at this link:

http://www.n*v*c*ch*.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi?s=3e9ee8432e32ffff;act=ST;f=26;t=30;hl=geocaching.com

 

Fix the link above with what you think goes where the Asterisks are.

There is a bit of talk of something called "Geocaching.com"

The site at this link is kind of dead, especially here in Detroit.

I thought this was a joke.

 

I just tried to post a message with the above referenced word in it, and it actually would not post!

 

Let me go on record as saying this is the silliest, most childish action I've yet seen TPTB take. Honestly, people, it's a WORD -- are you really afraid of it?

 

Let me quote one of this century's greatest philosophers. George Carlin.

For the record, as I understand it it will post, it just won't post immediately. Someone will look at it first to make sure it's appropriate for the thread it was posted in. The reason for that is very old, and it has to do with someone who was abusing their ability to post and advertising that other site at every opportunity. In my opinion, TPTB did what they had to do to fix the problem.

Its still childish in my opinion. So you ban the people who are posting frivolously....Why sensor mere mention of some other website from your own, unless you are scared of the competition?

 

If anything, I would think that this site, being so much bigger, and more popular than the other, wouldnt care.

I would think that the other, smaller site, would be the one to censor mention of THIS site on theirs.

 

Anyway, I dont want to start a flame war or bring up a discussion which is only going to ruffle feathers and go nowhere.

 

I just want to mention that I realise this is a privately run website, and if they see fit to resort to censorship, then so be it. I dont have to be here if I dont want to.

I WILL say, that it is one little detail that DOES turn me off this site, somewhat.

You can do ascii banners here, but you need to understand the

However, it's not really a good way to win friends and/or influence people.
