Now see, ya'll have gone and upset me. I saw W8TVI's avatar that COULD be a cartoon version of my frog.

Beagle, for all I know you came on my street and took a pic of HIS beagle -- now my neighbor will be mad!

And STUNOD -- I'm upset with YOU, too -- I saw the Dunkin' Donuts logo in the rear-view of my car. How do I know you weren't reading my mind with a special mind-reading cap?

Lapaglia -- you've got me upset with clown issues!

LOL... point is, i agree with UMC. 360, you need to lighten up -- this is a G-A-M-E and is meant to be played as such.

Forum posts are nothing more than bits of text on your monitor - which has an 'Off' button, by the way - from people who you'll probably never meet. In the grand scheme of things, how much of that *really* matters? Think of the vast majority of folks who enjoy GeoCaching without *ever* setting foot in the forums ...do any of the opinions expressed here turn them off of the game? Of course not ...because they choose not to *read* them and, when it comes down to it, they simply DON'T MATTER.

I could understand you backing out of forum participation if a particular online episode(s?) leaves a bad taste in your mouth (nobody enjoys associating with people they don't get along with), but to tie that with giving up a game that you otherwise enjoy (a game which, by its very nature, involves almost no interaction with other players) ...that just doesn't make sense. I think that the reasons for you getting so bent out of shape over this probably have more to do with spending far too much time at your keyboard and not nearly enough time away from your computer in the 'real world' dealing with 'real' everyday people and situations (I mean really, it's just a freakin' avatar for cryin' out loud). If you let something as innocuous as forum posts from strangers push you out of a game like GeoCaching, I'd hate to be around when a cop writes you up for a moving violation...

Hey Team 360! How much for your GPS?

Does anyone have some cache on them?

There is a car in my neighborhood that I see sometimes that has lizards glues all over it. Its really quite the site to see. I think it would make a great locationless.

That one is going to keep me laughing for a while.

I love the dog avatars. I think they are cool.

I think it is OK that you all copied me.

April 14, 2003

Oh man this thread made me laugh. Reminds me of when I would go onto IRC years ago and see a bunch of people in a chat room talking about beating each other up because of something said in the room. Funny stuff...

Just because some people disagree with you on a web forum, you're going to quit geocaching or go off and start plundering caches? Come on now... That's pretty sad. Time to turn off the monitor, get back in touch with reality and quit worrying what a bunch of posts on a web page say...

I appreciate and accept your apology. Hopefully my child will forget the new potty word quickly now that the pic has disappeared!

Now if Team 360 would care to return, maybe he could pick an avatar of one of the RugRats characters holding a box labeled "Lizard Doots"...

Hey Hartclimbs... the four year old (or so) in my current avatar battles demons and you won't let your's drive a car?

I'm offended! You should be banned for holding back children that way!

Oh... never mind, geocaching.com hates children.

Edit: Sorry to bring that up again, but it was so funny, and hey, HartClimbs did it first! I would have misspelled "children" if I remembered the initial misspelling.

Hey! that squirrel was in my yard yesterday! It stood in a tree and cursed loudly at me until I put the dog in the kennel and put out a new corn cob on the squirrel feeder. I can't believe I am giving in to that bastard! Next time I'm at Wal-Mart, I just might skip picking up the dadgum squirrel food. Of course the last time I did that, it chewed through the birdseed container and broke a flower pot. Ack! Held hostage by a squirrel!

April 15, 2003

Other than one post earlier (not a slam, mind you), I feel compelled to jump in one more time.

Boy, I really hate that a trivial matter such as this would force a geocacher to just up and quit. Not that his point did not deserve merit, but I just cannot understand why a geocacher would throw his hands up from receiving some constructive criticism.

For what it's worth, I succumbed to ridicule and criticism over comments made about a topic of mine, many posts ago, and to search for clarity and justification, I whined about it to a well educated friend of mine. His answer was simple: First of all, that is what forums are designed to do. Express opinon and judgment, whether it is good or bad. Ridicule and even humiliation come with the territory. Second, he informed me that if I didn't like it, then to stay away from the forums.

I'm sure 360 will be looking at this thread, even though his implications were to wash his hands clean of geocaching altogether. I know I would come back just to look at this thread periodically, since it was a touchy subject in a sort of way. I hope 360 sees this and other posts, for the fact I hate to see a geocacher go and not come back. That's all from me. Throw the tomatoes now.

Man, I love these forums! One of the greatest places to perform the occasional rednecking (Well, maybe not occasional, since to some it comes naturally). Now leave me alone UMC!

Is there any rule against PM's on a dead thread? Yeah, the frog! I've been to the frog a couple of times, then they shut it down. That's it! The frog!

I agree with MountainMudbug. I am surprised I actually read this entire thread. Too bad Team 360 is leaving. He sure did spark an interesting conversation.

April 18, 2003

hey jeremy, Hows a search avatar function?

PS What happened to thise subdued geocaching patches?

April 18, 2003

Do any of you honestly belive that 360 has really quit? He may not be back under the same name, but if he truely enjoyed GeoCaching, as the rest of us do.Do you really think he could quit it that easy. I personally don't think I could quit that easy. Yeah sure he might piss and mone, delete all his posts, finds, and anything that was even relative to his former avatar, but I can see him coming right back. I agreed that people shouldn't mess with other peoples avatar, but like almost all of you. I think 360 went too far with this. Life is too short to sweat the small things. To quit the game just reminds me of the little kid who takes his ball home because nobody wants him to be the quarterback!! He thinks he is hurting us by quitting? LOL You can always find another ball!

360 is back. He has relogged his finds and reactivated his hidden caches. See his profile for the latest.

The only one that takes me out of the game is ME. I admit it, I really shot my mouth off this time. Some of you have written to me off-forum and gave a calming voice instead of bashing, although a couple of you took the chance to personally attack me in this thread. I said some things I didn't mean (your caches are still safe, don't worry) but there was no reason for all the negative responses and mockery of my avatar. I re-posted my cache and benchmark finds, although I lost a few due to the fact some caches are now unavailable. I also realize that we are all together on this little planet, in the corner of the universe, and each of us won't be around here very long. Let's stop the negativity NOW and HELP each other while we are here. We should be building up, not tearing each other down with sarcastic posts and personal attacks. You are right: life is too short to let anything get to you. I cannot count the times I thought about going to see my brother over in New Mexico, only 4 hours away from me, to drop in for a surprise visit, and take him out to dinner. He would appreciate it as he was disabled and could not work. I hadn't seen him for a couple of years but I always found excuses: too far to drive just for a short visit, gas is too expensive, he never writes me, it looks like rain, I have other plans....well, he killed himself last September. We never did get the chance to have that dinner together. If you had 10 minutes to live, and could make only one phone call, who would you call? Why? What would you say? And why are you still reading this instead of making that call NOW? Hear the music before the song is suddenly over. I am sorry if I let my emotions get the better of me in this thread, and wish to sincerely apologize to those who took offense. TEAM 360.

Welcome back, Team 360.

You can repost your logs to archived caches. You will just have to pull the cache page up by its ID number.

2.3k · April 18, 2003

I will post the above message in it's own topic, just in case no one comes back in here, I don't want anyone to think I am too stubborn to apologize for my over-reacting. I hope I won't be ostracized for my stupidity. As far as the lost cache logs, some of the older caches aren't even listed in here anymore, so I will lose some of my total find numbers. The price I pay for being dumb, and I can live with it. Thanks.

20.7k · April 18, 2003

Trust me, no one is going to remember this thread in a week. Everybody that has been in this forum for a while has lost it at least once.

You absolutely can repost your logs. You just have to pull up the archived caches by cache ID like this: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=xxxxx (xs are the cache id number, not the aphanumeric code).

Team 360, did you go somewhere?

No need for the apology but it was very nice. I'm glad to see you didn't waste all of your time and hard work for some stupid stuff that was typed here. I know I don't think any different about you (well, don't really think about you) I don't know you, sorry. Just kidding man. Boy do I have a way with words. Maybe thats why I fit in here so well. Anyway, its good that you stuck around here and true that this will be forgotten as soon as this thread drops off the first page like everything else that is forgotten and re-asked when that happens. []

As far as losing caches just log caches whether you've been to them or not. Thats how I got my numbers up so quickly. [][]

"Team 360, did you go somewhere?"

I became temporarily socially maladjusted about some of the comments that were delivered in this thread. I swore off Geocaching. It came down to the moment of holding the MeriPlat over the garbage can a few days ago, but I just couldn't let go of it. Then I had an enlightening moment, and decided to let everything roll off of me, like a windshield with a double coating of Rain-X.

I like your suggestion about cache numbers. I am listing "Found it" on every cache in Michigan, even though I live in Arizona. I figure that since I used to live there, I should claim them all anyways. j/k!
