Here is a response from the www.geogamer.com WebMaster, to a comment made by one of its new members in their message forum: "... I can assure you that this isn?t a ?Test? and no one is making a marketing guinea pig out of anyone. We have done a lot of research and found that some cachers not only wanted to have fun, but were also interested in a way to be ?rewarded? for their caching activities. And we hope that this site will provide a fun way to do it. The CacheCoin concept came about as a means to track activity, add value to the game and to support prize awards. The CacheHost idea was meant to get as many people involved as possible who already had caches stashed. You don?t have to hide special ?GeoGamer? caches (although some players might do just that in order to collect more game points). All you have to do is place a CacheHost validation card in your existing Geocaching cache (or any other registered site cache) and list them on GeoGamer. To get players started, I can provide some free CacheHost stickers (while supply lasts) if you send me an eMail with your mailing address. Lastly, if this concept works out (like we expect it will), GeoGamer will be able to help caching clubs and other organizations run their own caching events as fundraisers. We can produce custom gaming supplies, provide access to our online prize catalog for event winners, and help with online advertising ..." ***************************************************************************** Our NEW WebPage!
