+Leek Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Not sure what happened to all the old forum posts here, but there used to be a post pointing out that most of us now inhabit an Australian forum at http://geocaching.com.au/forum... Hope to see you there... Quote Link to comment
Jedda Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Its still there, but for some reason whenever you check this forum these days it automatically switches to posts in the last 30 days Quote Link to comment

Skit & majik Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Should see if the Forum Admin could make the Australia Forum link to http://geocaching.com.au/forum. Pointless having two. Quote Link to comment
+Swampgecko Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Should see if the Forum Admin could make the Australia Forum link to http://geocaching.com.au/forum. Pointless having two. As I pointed out in the "local" forums not all Aussies read this forum and not all aussies read the "local" forums. Quote Link to comment
Skit & majik Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 But wouldn't it be better to have a one location for the Aussie's? People will probally find these forums first as it's part of the main site where everyone has to go. Due to the low traffic in these forums they will get the wrong impression of the community of geocachers here in Aus. Quote Link to comment

Due to the low traffic in these forums they will get the wrong impression of the community of geocachers here in Aus. As a reviewer for geocaching.com I only come here out of need, I go to where the volume of my "customers" are, which is the Local Aussie Forums as listed in the link supplied by Leek. Ideally yes one place would be the preferred option, but since our geocaching scene varies in a number of significant areas to the rest of the world, it is better to air our "dirty laundry" in a more private forum. And anyway I do know from the other reviewers worldwide, that there are many local forums out there that run independantly of this site. Should they also just belong to one forum? I know of aussies that frequent this forum and the other parts of it and don't visit the "local aussie forums", that is their choice. We have two local aussie forums, one is on Yahoo and that has an even lower volume of traffic than here. People will go where they feel comfortable. Quote Link to comment

+The Cache Rangers Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Just starting out here. Got a GPS a few weeks ago and feeling my way around. Stumbled on here and trying to find a forum to exchange some thoughts. Is it here or where is it? I'm in Perth, Western Australia. Quote Link to comment
+OzGuff Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Stumbled on here and trying to find a forum to exchange some thoughts. Is it here or where is it? It depends. If you want to discuss specifics on your particular GPSr this is probably the best site; if you want to discuss geocaching Down Under then geocaching.com.au is the spot for you. I would give both sites a try to see which best fits your needs -- it may be that both do. Since I am an ex-pat Aussie living in the US I spend most of my time browsing the geocaching.com site, but since I have relatives who are active cachers in Australia I also keep an eye on the forums at geocaching.com.au. Best of luck! And welcome to the activity/hobby/sport/obsession that is geocaching!! Quote Link to comment
+Stuey Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Hi OzGuff, fancy seeing you in this forum.... what with you being a record breaking UK cacher and all that . I tried registering for the Aussie forums, but it didn't work. I wonder how many other people have tried and failed? Ah well... my TB "Back from Down Under" is on it's way at last, so hopefully it doesn't matter anyway. Quote Link to comment
+Leek Posted May 1, 2004 Author Share Posted May 1, 2004 Hi Stuey, What problem did you get when registering for the .com.au forum? I'm not aware of any issues and there are over 500 registered members, so something must be working. Let me know if I can help. Leek Quote Link to comment
+Stuey Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Hi Leek, I was getting an error about non-activation I think? Then again, I've just reregistered, and it didn't say that my username was already in use, so I must have cocked it up when I first tried to register Thanks for your help, Quote Link to comment
+Team Piggy Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Hmmm, Strange that, around the time some of the already logged users were having the same problems, me thinks it was the site, not the operators Has been all Ok for the past week though. Quote Link to comment
+Devar Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Australian Forum! Yeah...This post is just a bump. Quote Link to comment
V-iPAQ Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 dadgum, doesn't it annoy some people needing to sign up to millions of things? Quote Link to comment
Witty Wakkaz Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I don't mind signing up for endless things (most of the time anyway ) but I am completely unable to register for the abovementioned forum I keep getting the same message about the email being unresolved or whatever. I have tried using two different email addys but with no luck. Any ideas anybody? Quote Link to comment
+the england's Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 what username did you go under witty wakkaz Quote Link to comment
+Stuey Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Hi OzGuff, fancy seeing you in this forum.... what with you being a record breaking UK cacher and all that . I tried registering for the Aussie forums, but it didn't work. I wonder how many other people have tried and failed? Ah well... my TB "Back from Down Under" is on it's way at last, so hopefully it doesn't matter anyway. MEGA bump!!! My TB has just got "Back from Down Under" for the second time, and in between times it got back from Los Angeles too! 77,000 miles and counting. Quote Link to comment
+Damo. Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 That is quite a bump! And the forum is still running along quite nicely and has gained around 10000 more members! That's an impressive TB achievement Stuey! Quote Link to comment
