+canadazuuk Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 http://www.gocaching.com Although the theme song is apparently an old Freddie Mercury classic, I was thinking perhaps something more along the lines of Joe Satriani. Maybe a new rendition of an old hit from 'Caching with the Alien'. Link to comment
+canadazuuk Posted February 28, 2004 Author Share Posted February 28, 2004 Well, it's pretty simple actually. Check this page out: http://aliens.gocaching.com/html/vis_01.htm Link to comment

+SBPhishy Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Ah now I get it. I think thats a pretty cool idea. I wouldnt mind of someone abducted/cloned/transported/ etc. my caches. Link to comment
+Marky Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 A much milder and well thought out version of something we've seen before. I think this version will be more palatable. Good luck in tracking down those aliens. Link to comment
+webscouter. Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 This looks fun, thanks for taking a interesting albeit wrong concept and creating a new twist that won't get anyones panties in a wad. Link to comment
+TotemLake Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Cute and funny. I like the fact the cache owner has to register their cache in order to participate. It's a good twist and the cache owner has nothing to lose and a new cache to gain. Link to comment
+sept1c_tank Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Although I may be a ways from the alien activity, I have registered my caches. No need to take chances! Link to comment
+RobertM Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 This sounds like a very cool concept. I've signed up my caches too. Hope they get a good "probing". It's good to see all the positive comments and I'm sure this concept on an old idea won't have all the grannies complaining. Link to comment
ju66l3r Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 And here we see the results of a bit of tinkering with an idea that was sooooo radically opposed in these forums by the majority of the people. I like it. I liked other less tame versions, but this one works as well. There may be extreme alien activity in Boston in the future. I will have to contact J5 and see if he's interested in franchising... Link to comment
+ironman114 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I tried to suggest this approach (only registered users) to someone else (who is now gone) and was ignored. What he wanted was revenge not a new twist to the game. Great Idea for those who want to participate. and have found most of the ones close to them. Link to comment
+carleenp Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I like it. I would register my caches, but I question whether the aliens will ever visit Nebraska. No one seems to visit Nebraska. Link to comment

+Criminal Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 (edited) I like it. I would register my caches, but I question whether the aliens will ever visit Nebraska. No one seems to visit Nebraska. There's a place called Nebraska? Yes, it's an amalgamation of "Ne" which means "No" in some other language, "Bras", which are used to restrain the jigglies, and "KA" which is of course, Keystone Approver. The term comes from KA's request that women remove their bras in his presence. As crazy as that sounds, I understand he's been quite successful. Edited March 1, 2004 by Criminal Link to comment
+The Weasel Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I signed up, but I think I will be in the same boat as Carleen, since I live in podunk Iowa. Link to comment
Keystone Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Weasel, Not QUITE the same boat. Since you live in Iowa, it's OK by me for you to keep your frilly underthings on. Link to comment

+Gorak Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 And here we see the results of a bit of tinkering with an idea that was sooooo radically opposed in these forums by the majority of the people. I like it. I liked other less tame versions, but this one works as well. There may be extreme alien activity in Boston in the future. I will have to contact J5 and see if he's interested in franchising... Its amazing how repackaging and a little marketing can have such a huge effect on people's acceptance of something. Since we started leaving little rubber aliens (with the url of the website) in a number of local caches the positive response has been overwhelming. In fact, we've had a several requests from people all over North America about the possibility of 'franchising'. The most surprising thing we discovered was that the people we expected to be the most vocally opposed to the Cache Police concept were the first to jump on board. Go figure... BTW - Jomarac5 sends his regards from GC exile. ________________ Gorak Link to comment

+canadazuuk Posted March 8, 2004 Author Share Posted March 8, 2004 This thread is shown to be MOVED on the main page. I started it here, and I don;t see it anywhere else, so maybe someone could explain how it was moved. Or was it just removed, and then returned? Or will we ever know? (Maybe the aliens did it?)

Mystery Woman Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Gnood alien buddies never leave their friend's behind... Interesting sig line. Such "subtle" placement of that apostrophe... Anyway, thanks for the heads-up on the newest twist in Vancouver caching. Now if I can only remember where I put that GPS back in November... Link to comment
