+Planet Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 I would be really upset with myself. I wouldn't have any free time anymore! I am glad that Jeremy and his crew are doing such a great job keeping it going. Thanks Jeremy! Thanks Groundspeakers. Planet Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 Add a stats Leaderboard Move virtuals to another area like benchmarks Took sun from sky, left world in eternal darkness Quote Link to comment
+Touchstone Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 I'd subcontract out to Jeremy et al to handle day to day operations, pack up my cache-pack and go out geocaching Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. The rest go geocaching. Quote Link to comment
ju66l3r Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 I'd add a CVS/Sourceforge-like section to the site where interested developers could gain access to the code underlying the site. They would be able to design cool new applications that would be accessable to the members. -- http://magazine.audubon.org/features0101/goodwood.html Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 I would start paying the volunteer approvers and forum moderators $20 an hour for their valuable time and contributions to the site. Hey, it's a "what if?" thread... I can always dream. Don't make me stop this car! Quote Link to comment

+canadazuuk Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 I'd instruct some fair and reasonable admins to start handing out warnings, and then suspensions, to those who go beyond the reasonable limits of disagreement. Quote Link to comment
+seneca Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 I would add more premium features to the site, and really push the sale of subscriptions. I would change my sales pitch from “please support the site” to, “get real value for your buck”. I would develop virtual caching and locationless caching as separate games. I think that they both have excellent potential, and would flourish on their own. I would experiment with allowing commercialized caches, sponsored by businesses. Finding them would not be added to your cache count, and instead the enticement for finders would be discounts, freebies, etc. These would be listed separately, and be carefully handled in a way that would not interfere with regular geocaching. I would collect together an album of all of Jomarac5's photographs posted to the site and license their use to the highest bidder. I have never in my life learned anything from any man who agreed with me. Quote Link to comment
Scooby Snacks Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 Groundspeak....That would look good on the stock market. Buy low "The cache is a Mystery Machine" Quote Link to comment

I wouldn't be interested, but would I be able to buy some quotes instead? (Quotes of yours that is.) Great ideas, BTW. Quote Link to comment
+RuffRidr Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 I would also add a stats leaderboard, and allow people to opt-out, so it only shows anonymous instead of their name. It almost seems like a no-brainer. I have no idea why they haven't implemented this yet. --RuffRidr Quote Link to comment

enfanta Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 I'd take the visuals in another, starker direction so it looked less like Zelda or Mario Bros. and more like the blood and sweat game it is! well, blood and sweat if you play it right... -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Wearer of duplicative protective headgear.

Cupajo Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 I'd install software to the server that delivers an electric shock to mesage board posters through their computer mouse whenever they complained about stupid ****. Quote Link to comment

+Doc-Dean Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 I guess I would have to change my avatar to the "Jeremy - lesbian sign" pose. --------------------------------------- Free your mind and the rest will follow Quote Link to comment
