What about the historical aspects of older caches? Most of the three digit caches - GCxxx - are fast disappearing. ----- Original Message ----- From: Glenn To: mga@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ; mga@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2003 10:56 AM Subject: [MoGeo] Re: Hello and new issues..

Same as what cacher Kono.. does. I have been thinking of archiveing some more of mine.. open up tha areas.. ect. snip.. If we cannot afford to restock caches as we go, then perhaps, we should recycle the caches. interesting.. Another thought to increase the quality of caching would be to implement local rules. I see no reason why we can't adopt some type of guidelines and fill in the gray areas. It would make it easier if we said that local governing rules apply to our home caching area. In other words, we set the guidlines in placing and maintaining a cache. We could still be within the GC guidelines but build upon it. There would be no way to enforce it however. It would simply be guidelines. I dont think I see a problem with that. I always thought the local groups could be helping guide the new folks with local guidelines ect.. I a new cache is outside of the guidelines i think I can suggest that there are local guidelines and it would be nice if they would do xyz to comply... Recycling micros should be a process we look at first. It would be nice to get rid of some really easy micros and some stale ones so we may use the .1 of real estate for something fresh.. Yep, as always, deciding which ones to go is always a touchy situation.. It's like calling someones baby ugly... it may be but the owner kind of likes them. :-) We could just archive them when they disappear. .. Glenn .. got to run.. I'm late already. These are just some thoughts.. I will let others chime in and take a seat..
