Geocaching Australia

The virtual/s don't bother me so much as the maintenance issues aren't there.

Understand about not being able to list on GC.com. I hope that in coming to GCA, people think about whether the guideline that brought them here instead is a valid one.

To me, it doesn't matter. It's your find count, not mine, so log however you like if you feel it's reasonable to.

I've nearly gone and found my own moveable to keep it ... well ... moving. Not sure how I'd log it, but it doesn't really matter.

Sorry, my response was written in haste from an airport. After giving it some more thought, I'd like to put it a different way (disclaimer, still jet-lagged). If I understand correctly, the other countries in the system show up because GCA users have found caches there and it allows them to track al...

Errr, this is Geocaching Australia. It might be a good idea to expand to other countries, but perhaps this is something we should ensure the system supports _before_ placing caches. :p

If caching is not about the numbers; then who cares about FTF :? You can take the challenge of being FTF without it being about the numbers. It is a somewhat more level playing field for people to compete on (if they so desire) and some people have a healthy collection of FTF certificates. Coming b...

Lol, I _really_ should have chosen my words better. Serves me right for spending 5 minutes on the forum a week and rushing replies. If I have to eat my hat as a result, so be it, but I'll still be able to claim that the exercise would have been better and more sensibly done as a single multipoint ca...

I am not really sure why the close proximity of caches should be seen as a problem. In many places you could place 10 interesting caches, all well hidden, within a 100 metre radius. This is even more true in an urban environment, where you have the aspect of elevation to take into account. Certainl...

I disagreed with the results, up until I disagreed with their definitions.

It might be worth running an exception report to highlight proximity problems (this is one we can fix programatically). Implementing this somehow on all new listings (as a cautionary note) would probably help too. On the rating/review front, since we colloquially have logs that are smileys and frown...

It sure stands out nice and clear, that yellow and green cache density over yellow and green thematic landscape. :0

Sorry, that was a typo, it was meant to be "I'm an esky".

Agreed c@w. I think the most important thing is that the cache listing is up-front.

I'd like to hear from those that do oppose it (can PM me if they prefer, I'm a nice guy), so I can be properly informed about people's ideas.

I hope the results so far don't put people off speaking their mind.

Ooh, now that's an idea for the FTF prize.

Suitman, you're spot on with the reason for TBs, but who said anything about the cause of this particular topic being people doing it for "the numbers"?
