+ClayJar Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 The weekly official geocaching chat has been a regular Monday evening occurrence for three years. Started three years ago today (January 21, 2002), the chat officially begins at 8:30pm Central every Monday night. This Monday, the 24th, we'll be celebrating three great years of chat (with very few bans, too -- most geocaching chatters are at least polite). Whether you're an old hand chatter who hasn't dropped by in a while or a neocacher who has never been to the chat before, drop by this Monday to join us in our little celebration. You don't get to log a find, but it's definitely an experience. Geocaching Chat web interface Or use any IRC client to join #Geocache on irc.slashnet.org (The official chats are Mondays from 8:30pm Central and are official for at least an hour and a half, but you can connect and chat anytime. Usually *someone* is awake.) ClayJar Lead Catherd Geocaching Chat Quote Link to comment
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 I discovered Clayjar's chat when I was but a neophyte geocacher and it made all the difference in my caching attitude and experience. I found a world-wide community of great folks; friendly, helpful, forgiving and accepting! Discovering the "type" of people drawn to geocaching that I found in geochat led me to help build our state association, the Alabama Geocaching Association (AGA). 450+ strong now we have an interesting, interactive and thouroughly pleasant group that I believe well-represents the game and has a ball playing it. I encourage any geocacher to make geochat a regular stop in their social circle! Thanx Clayjar! Great work! Ed Quote Link to comment
+CYBret Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 The official chat started the same week I got into Geocaching....which is why the chatroom has that "Funky ol' CYBret-ty smell." Bret Quote Link to comment
umc Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 I have it marked on the calendar but if CYBret's going to be there then I may have to skip. Quote Link to comment

Bret So *THAT'S* what that is! Hard to believe it has been three years. I think the most we have had was about 60 or so. It would be nice to go into triple figures! Thanks ClayJar for providing this service. It has been fun. Quote Link to comment
+carleenp Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 I have it written on my calendar. Thanks Clay Jar! Quote Link to comment
+Jeeping Family Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Justs tells Stats1 to quit poking me. I go out there when I have questions, been there a few times so far. Just put it on the favorites list in X-Chat Quote Link to comment
+Mopar Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Just a reminder that the official monday chat isn't the only time to chat. There are people there practically 24/7 chatting. There is only so much to say about geocaching, so it's often more like a real-time version of the off-topic forums. Jeeping Family and I just spent the last 30 minutes or so talking about jeeps and off-roading. Still , if someone has a serious caching question, the people there are usually will to stop the chit-chat and try and answer it. Lot's of people use a dedicated program and just stay in there all the time, and will pop in and out as they pass the PC or take a break from work. Stop in and say hi! Quote Link to comment
+mtn-man Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 OFFICIAL! ACK! Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... We don't want to scare Ventura Kids away. (By the way, AAAAAAACCCCKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!! is my line. ) Quote Link to comment

+Planet Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 (edited) Hey!!!! Three years. WooHoo! I've never logged out. Not unless the power went out, LOL! I'll be there. (oops, edit: I'll be there in spirit, we've got our full moon dinner tomorrow night. It's nothing weird, just to gather once a month and make something good, this night will be cassoulet. I'll try to get home early) Edited January 23, 2005 by Planet Quote Link to comment

+ClayJar Posted January 24, 2005 Author Share Posted January 24, 2005 Do you have a chord chart or a guitar tab for that (sheet music would work, but it'd be a pain to adapt for my instrument). In other words, if anybody's still needing to be told, the third anniversary chat is tonight! (Hey, there's no Monday Night Football, so what's your excuse?) You know, I'm terrible at the hard sell... if only I had giveaways to draw... um... cheap people? (I think I'm late for lunch.) Quote Link to comment
umc Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I think I'm going to head out and pick up some beer for the chat just like old times. Don't worry, I'll pick up enough for everyone. Quote Link to comment

+ironman114 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Come on people, El diablo says he will give away a hiking staff if there are at least 100 people there for official chat! Quote Link to comment
+El Diablo Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 As soon as 12 more people show up I'll give away the hiking staff!! El Diablo Quote Link to comment

+fosterbass Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Woo hoo! I won a free t-shirt at the 3rd anniversary chat! Could have been you! Better yet - come now and enter to win a free custom, hand-carved hiking staff! Quote Link to comment

+Team Tecmage Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I gotta say that the chat was VERY fun tonight! Thanks Quote Link to comment
+jeff35080 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Yup, it was fun seeing everyone in chat. I don't have the free time to visit very often but I do drop in from time to time. It's always fun to chat in 'real time' with others that I interact with here in the forums. Quote Link to comment
+mikemtn Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I never did figure out who won the hiking staff. Quote Link to comment
Pipanella Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 A few people said it was me, then I never heard any more. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Bummer, I tried to get in but I was behind my companies firewall and it wouldn't let me. Quote Link to comment
+fosterbass Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 A few people said it was me, then I never heard any more. The confusion was over who's middle name we were trying to guess. If it was Jeremy's (as ClayJar suggested), then you guessed it first. Some people thought we might have been trying to guess El_Diablo's middle name. I think I won the three geocoins, but I don't know who was giving them away. Quote Link to comment
+El Diablo Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 I never did figure out who won the hiking staff. It was....Geckocache El Diablo Quote Link to comment
