My suggestion is keep it. I hate to see moving and virtual caches archived
because once there gone they are gone forever.
My 2 cents worth.

The final for my Moving Cache in Forest Park got muggled. I am seeking
input on if I should shut it down or replace it.

It is a popular cache with 175 finds and 18 people watching it.
I placed it in 2001. For those who have not found it, it is a two part.
You find the first part which has directions to the second part. After you
find the second part you move it and then update the direction in the first
part. You are allowed to find it again after 10 others find and move it.
I thought it was an interesting concept. I hoped it would give people an
opportunity to practice doing a cache without having to own it. Since you
move the second part after finding it, you can put it in a public area with
lots of mugglers.
They will not allow a cache like this anymore. It is grandfathered. That
is one reason I tend to think I should keep it. However, the reason why
they don't allow this kind of cache anymore is you could move the final
close to another cache or a waypoint. I think they want to be able to
approve all cache locations. In 2001, that really was not an issue as there
were hardly any caches. Now Forest Park is full of caches and waypoints.
So it is a major issue for the cache today. The last time I moved it, a
short time latter I found a waypoint about 100 feet from it.
If they would allow these kinds of caches, I would shut it down and set it
up in a park with far fewer caches. But I cannot do that.
Someone recently logged another one of my "historic" caches and indicted
they really enjoyed finding a cache that had been around so long.
So I am torn on what to do with the cache.
