      you realize that you can just reference the logo from it’s current spot on the WGA web server right?

      http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk300/jeni2272/wgalogo_09.gif

      can just as easily be

      http://wi-geocaching.com/themes/WGA/images/wgalogo_09.gif

      in your HTML. You don’t have to host a copy of the logo on “photobucket”

      Hopefully our web admin(s) are aware that some members are referencing the new logo in this location on the wga server and will leave a copy of it there when they finally update the “official image” being referenced by the “official html”.

        FYI – An almost guaranteed way to get your newly submitted cache temporarily disabled and not published is to place the cache in a parking lot or an area that looks like a parking lot and the cache page does not have explicit permissions stated. I have some experience and have read that “canned” message a few times…

                      Trackable items are not your property

                      If you release them into the wild that’s semi-true. You have every right to pull them back from circulation if they are registered under your user account which gives you more “ownership” rights than just any other cacher moving them around.

                      If you don’t release them and simply activate them or leave them unactivated then they certainly are “your property”.

                          stolen coins from caches

                          If it’s trackable and you don’t own the activated coin online what’s the point? To own the metal and enamel?

                          That probably highlights the main difference between a geocoin and a travel bug. Geocoins are seen as collectibles. I am sure they are much more attractive to muggles and newbie cachers. I am sure some will argue that some travel bugs out there are “collectible” but in all fairness, most are just a common item with a tag attached in an old zip loc baggie that doesn’t zip and worn out papers and other things.

                          The first geocoin I ever found (in one of the first caches I ever found) was in a nice plastic protector with a hole drilled through the center of the coin and protector and another personalized tag attached. This made it look pretty “official” as in a “game piece” and less like a collectible. As a newbie, I was not tempted in any way to keep it. Ads a bit of support for the idea of drilling and adding a tag.

                            It’s unfortunate that you modified the cache description before archiving. I would have liked to have read the original description!

                              I just had a geocoin resurface after over a year. Same person had it and it was dropped into a cache in Germany after no responses to multiple emails to the holder over the last year.

                              There is hope after all…

                                But the difference is Marc has social get togethers where folks work together to solve existing cache puzzles and he offers tips & tricks. If I read this one correctly, it’s actually quite different. Interesting premise but I would probably have better things to do.

                                  I absolutely refuse to even entertain the thought of cable, or dish, or any of those things.

                                  So you use stone tablets and smoke signals then eh?
