I agree, but the community speaks louder than the developer.

I didn't like the idea of frogs to begin with... but the more ideas we get from the community, the more I think it could be a fun idea.

How about some floating frogs in ponds? Could be fun in the summer!

You know you're a cacher when any old frog reminds you of Signal ....

It is bad enough that geocaching.com try and own the concept of "geocaching". Let's reclaim frogs for all of mankind and not let groundspeak try and own frogs too.

Yeah! We can play with whatever we want whithout GC's permission needed. I suspect we might end up with quite a few zombie frogs and faeries riding frogs. Got a frog smilie yet c@w?

Bubbles have a look on ebay, 1000's to chose from, jewelry, carvings, ornaments etc just an endless selection.

this is a search for just frog ornaments.

I hope it's frogs, the kids have picked theirs out already. They are very excited about this years race.

Maybe we could be a bit more specific than just 'Frogs'. How about 'Dead Cane Toads'. That should differentiate from Signal :twisted: :-"
