+fairplay Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 Personally I think that it's a pitty that most of users have an empty Profile Page. A few lines and maybe a small picture would be enough to complete the page. Why do most people leave that page empty hello Quote Link to comment

+fairplay Posted March 24, 2003 Author Share Posted March 24, 2003 Well... eh ... sorry ... but.... yes.... I forgot to mention that a minority of people do have absolutely well prepared Profile Inputs..... (PS: I was in order to say that ) hello Quote Link to comment
+gnbrotz Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 I think that a large number of cachers don't even know they exist. Think of all the questions that are asked here in the forums folks could answer for themselves with just a little digging. Greg N 39 54.705' W 77 33.137' Quote Link to comment
Cache Canucks Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 quote:Originally posted by gnbrotz:"...I think that a large number of cachers don't even know they exist..." I think you're bang on the money with that observation. Only a Sys Admin could confirm the actual stats, but my guess is that the vast majority of GeoCachers use this site for nothing more than... well... 'GeoCaching' (go figure). Those who participate in forum discussions (and, in turn, presumably see any value in posting a user profile) are in the minority. As for the 'forum regulars' who have little more than their user name as a calling card (ie: no profile whatsoever), that's certainly their choice to make. Personally, I think it's simply good online forum etiquette to give folks some idea of who it is that's behind your keystrokes. Quote Link to comment
+welch Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 I think at least half of the profiles out their are for acconts that are no longer active. And of those that are, (as has already been said) most probly don't even think about changing it. Course, if they were to come to these forums they might seem this thread and fill it in.... But visiting the forums also seems to be one of those things done by a minority. Quote Link to comment
+leatherman Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 I really like it when someone makes a very location specific post and doesn't share where in the world they are. "If your ever in my area there's a great cache I'd like you to visit." Of course no profile and no "from" info at the bottom of there post. The psychic friends network may be able to help. Do not extend your expectations unto others, you will not be disappointed by the stupid things they do. Mokita! Quote Link to comment
+VentureForth Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 You only want pictures of the geo-babes to gawk at. Seriously, though, profiles are doing exactly what they are meant to do - allow users to share as much about themselves as they feel comfortable. I do agree with Leatherman, though. Just simply with regards to posting in the forums, it would be nice for folks to put their geographic region in their profile. It doesn't even have to be city/state or city/country. It can be region as far as I'm concerned. --------------- Go! And don't be afraid to get a little wet! Quote Link to comment
+Mad_Hatter Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Okay so you've shamed me into it. But don't expect me to actually write something about myself. That'd be too much like work. Quote Link to comment

+MissJenn Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 Not everyone is so multi-faceted that they are interested in web forums and profiles, can use a GPS, like taking walks in the woods, know html code, have time to do all this, and also have some creativity with graphic software. Some people like geocaching only because of the outdoor portion. They may not be so web-interested that they click on people's profiles, or even on "View your own profile" button. They'd rather use the time to be outside more. And, subsequently, what gnbrotz said: they don't even know that bit exists! ----- You must be present to win. Quote Link to comment
