Should I assume that since they have not come back that the "Member Stats"
feature of the SLAGA web page is dead and not coming back?
I used that feature a LOT not to compare myself to other cachers but to see
how people were doing and who was cahing etc ...it was nice to see how many
each of my friends had and how they did compare to mine...not in a jealous or
envious way but just out of curiousity.
And the talk I have seen about people not caring about stats is a bunch of
bull...I would say that most cachers DO care about stats otherwise why do they
log their finds? Also why do we congratulate someone on reaching X number of
finds or throw a party when Bruce hit 1000, 2000 and 5000. I know there are
exceptions but in general I would say they want and like them
I care about mine and celebrate at each 100 caches that I find...maybe to
people who have found over 1000 or 2000 it may not mean much but my 600+
caches are well remembered and hard fought and by golly I am PROUD of the fact
I have stuck with it so long and the number I have done reminds me of how hard
and long a trip it has been.
I also understand that it is a LOT of work and hassle for Paul to maintain
and if he just does not want to maintain the feature then say so ...but
considering it was one of those features advertised with the paid membership I
would have thought that at least the first year it would be kept.
I know this will probably open another can of worms ....it seems I am good
at that but hey I would like to know as it seems to have just fallen by the
wayside
