+DirtRunner Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Today, I accidently entered www.geocaching.ca instead of www.geocaching.com, and lo and behold a web page came up saying that the web site is currently under construction! Is this another Groundspeak initiative or are we canucks soon to get another geocaching site just for us ? Jeremy...Any Comment ? Thanks DirtRunner Quote Link to comment

SyrDragon Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 I don't think states have their own domains...only countries...( .de, .au, .jp) Quote Link to comment
+Jamie Z Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Nah... I doubt Groundspeak has anything to do with it. The "Under construction" page only means that someone has registered the site... it doesn't mean that someone is actually working on putting a site up. Someone probably registered the name a while ago and is holding onto it until they think they can sell it or use it. Jamie Quote Link to comment
+MeeCachers Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 If you look at the whois? information for this domain, Whois for geocaching.ca you will see that it is clearly not registered to Groundspeak but rather to one, Ebenezer Thevasagayam. Looks like a squatter to me... Quote Link to comment
