It is done and over with. Lets not make ourselves look bad by constantly bring this up over and over again. It will get us no where.

I agree. We REALLy need to move on and do what we need to do to protect Geocaching in Maine and make it an enjoyable sport for EVERYONE. Let's not dwell on the past and move FORWARD......

I would also suggest, knowing that the MGA fears posting to this site, that any comments should be posted on their site. Not much sense talking to the wall here.

I for one am staying right where I am, I am a happy member of both geocaching.com and geocachingmaine.org. So far, in my limited involvement in the hobby, I have found all the useful information I need between these two websites. Right now I consider the geocachingmaine site the Official representative for Maine and I believe the folks over at the geocaching.com site do as well. It was thru them that I found this site.

Just my 2 cents worth!

If any one does care. I have learned alot and have learned that some times people dont like to listen to folks shooting there mouth off. I have done my share of that. I would like to point out that in paragraph 4 section a clearly says these topics of conversation are unacceptable.http://www.geocaching.com/about/termsofuse.aspx
I would encourage all to read them just to freshen up a bit. Me included:o

Believe me Dave we know you have. These are rules for the Groundspeak forums.

They dont apply here??

Have you read any of the flaming and other crap that goes on at the Groundspeak forums? We are mild here compared to there. And I am not condoning what has gone on in here either just making a point that they don't conform to their own rules either.

I did not say that I was pointing out that those were the rules for the Groundspeak forums. If these are the rules you are referring to then please show me where someone has broken these rules and I will apologize for missing the post and not deleting it.

Here is our web site user agreement: http://www.geocachingmaine.org/index.php?page=agreement

Not that it matters, but my vote is "No" because the different areas of the state will not will not be equally represented. Unfortunatelt the way the voting is set up now, Organization could actually hurt Geocaching in Maine. An official elected board from Bangor probably isnt going to be very effective representation in western or southern Maine.

This approach is a beginning point only. It is anticipated that the board will develop suggestions that will help to ensure that the state, as a whole, is represented.
