    What happened to the old thread stealers thread? Was it too big to import into the new site?

    in reply to: Thread Stealers With Too Much On Their Minds #1986926

    Looking good so far. Good job on getting it back up and running.

    RJ, you are in a 67 way tie for 119th place with 6 countries. Better ask for quicker redeployments!

    Nice, thanks for the link. I haven’t heard of most of these people to be honest.

    And no more deployments. In my military career, I’ve been overseas most of it. I’ve had enough. I’m coming home to Wisconsin.

    we are at 3 and since that is really the limit that you can drive to (I do not fly) it might just be our limit of countries

    Technically you can drive all the way to South America.. But I wouldn’t do it personally. Not without speaking good Spanish.

    I like that holding the first post for moderation idea. Hopefully it won’t be necessary with the new anti spam service your talking about.

    We currently have CAPTCHA turned on for registration to the website. Basic CAPTCHA has become much less effective at stopping spammers.
    Until recently, the spam we got was not from bots, but from actual humans. There is just no way to stop that, but they were so few and far between that it wasn’t too big of an issue.
    Now that bots are smart enough to read and pass CAPTCHA challenges, as well as navigate our menu system to get to the forums and post, other steps need to be taken.
    With the new website going online next week, I am not going to make any changes on the current registration process. We will rely on our diligent moderators (the current Board of Directors) to delete spam as soon as they see it.
    Members and website users can help by simply ignoring and not responding to the SMAM messages. Extra comments just leave more posts for moderators to have to weed through.

    How about doing a different type of verification system for new members who IP address come from else where in the world? Such as not in states around Wisconsin. Make them have to contact an admin to get permission to join the forums and post.

    Got an email saying we have one coming, still waiting.

    I hope you get yours soon. I never got to see mine, it got to my house after I shipped out.

    in reply to: Free trackable from Michelin #1977094

    Did you guys get the email saying they were gonna send you one? I got the email saying it and a few weeks later I got mine in the mail.

    in reply to: chromebook/chromebox #1961791

    Yeah, the new updates to Chrome OS allow the Garmin to be used. Chrome OS has come a long way since it first came out. It’s a nice cheap little laptop to carry in the car while you go caching.

    in reply to: Travel Bug Dissapointment #1977343

    When I release a trackable I don’t expect it to ever come back or go anywhere. I let it loose, it’s already gone.

    What I do is if they go missing, I let them stay missing for a certain amount of time and then re-release a copy of the coin or bug. My wait time is normally around a year after the last log.

    GC2GRHN isn’t really a TB Hotel, nor was it really intended to be one. It just happens to have the word Hotel in the cache name: Heartbreak Hotel

    Well it’s up to you if you want your cache listed. I found that one in the past and it is a nice one to have as a TB Hotel. Highly doubt it will be muggled. If you want I will add it to the list of TB Hotels.
