GC Numbering

Post by spatialriq » 31 January 17 6:44 pm

With the GC cache numbers now in the high 9000's what happens when it hits 5 figures!!

Do we get GC10000 or is it GCA000 ? :shock:

It'll probably be some loser who'll enter scores or hundreds of listings to get it.

When one of the other "significant" numbers came up, the loser swore black and blue that his looong sequence of unused cache submissions were part of a series and nothing to do with the special number, no siree, never crossed his mind.

Luckily, that meant that he wasn't at all upset when the cache with _that_ number was too close to a school and was archived immediately. His "the GC number's not important but can I have it back puhleeeeeze" pleading was pure schadenfreude to read!

For the record: we have no plans to do anything insane with GA10000, so keep on doing what you are doing, business as usual!

(We are happy with how things are tracking anyhow)

:D :griffin

Why not go to A000 til A999 then start on B's etc...

That will give you another 26000 caches before you need to add another digit.

:D :gnome
