Your thoughts on a non-commercial "themed" cache
I plan to list a GCA cache soon that will hopefully provide all the usual enjoyment of finding a cache (location etc), but am thinking about doing something different with the swaps. I have a pile of Ubuntu Linux install/live CDs that I'd like to provide in the cache, no need to swap as I can restoc...

Now we're talkin' :) A wild idea just occurred to me. A "problem tracking system" could be used to deal with issues in a very systematic way that doesn't lean on rules and allows for discussion. Such systems are usually used to report, track and fix bugs in software, but it could work for reporting ...

The "Cache Ratings" Request for Comments thread covers some of this too. Swampgecko, I'm wondering if you could elaborate on why "we need to refloat the "rules" again"? A list of good ideas, a mechanism for providing feedback (be it public or otherwise) and community discussion should cover most, if...

Eek, this geocaching economy is getting a little disturbing. Paid accounts, coins, collectibles, sponsored TBs, merchandising. The non-profit community stuff's ok, but I see far too much marketing everywhere else already. For Sale: Your name and smiley on my next 5 finds, only $9.95 + S+H For Auctio...

Re: RANT: How hard is it to read a TB objectives?
With those criteria you may as well have said their name to some other qlders and as such, is not very discreet. By all means have your rant, just keep names (or identities) out of it!! It's not hard to figure out and impossible to keep names out of a topic like this. I think the issue was broached...

Our workplace agreement prevents us from answering your question, but I can say that I've had a look at the code, and it's no longer a problem. Just leave the money on the fridge. :p In future, I suggest that you hastily find any caches that you accidentally recommend and convince yourself that its ...

Sigh, 'tis unfortunate. This could be one of those situations where you name names and we all send narky emails to the offenders. :p I can sort of understand someone making an honest mistake, but to get abusive when it's their fault isn't reasonable. Maybe a doppleganger of each TB will make the cac...

I've had a play with TomTom navigator with Aus map data, and it looks really good (in terms of both data and functionality). I also saw it in action in Paris with live traffic reports. I wouldn't worry too much about getting up to date map data, you shouldn't be relying on it alone for navigation, a...
