Actually, there already is an organization called the "Maine Geocaching Association". :D:DQuote:

I have seen nothing, in my opinion, confrontational about this discussion, and some really good questions have been asked in the thread. I hope I am speaking for the majority here, as we would like the site to continue to grow. I think that change is hard for some and easy for others, while change is inevitable, how much will be the question.
Ok, I have to step in and say something here. I was hoping not to. Everyone keeps saying this is Rick's site. For those of you that do not know who Rick is, that is me.
Yes this site is owned by me. I do not consider it my site. I created this site many years ago to help the Geocaching Maine community unite. I have never and will never run this site as a dictator.
I remember when the board was created. I was the one that pushed to have it created. I did this for two reasons.
- To have feedback and help from a group of people that I could ask for opinions from without have to deal with the long drawn out discussions in the forums. Sometimes it takes a long time to get something resolved in a forum discussion.
- In hopes that some day the Geocaching Maine web site and group would become an Association. I knew that with its growth that someday this would be needed.
My main point here is, this is not Rick's site. This is your site.
That's why we like you, Rick. LOL!Quote:

This is one of the countless links you have posted that most people cannot access, so I'm just wondering who actually has access to it? A list of people would be nice. Shouldn't be a problem, right?Quote:

And certain threads were restricted to the people actually involved in the discussion.
I've removed the link.
:D:D
All the more reason to have a board, IMHO.Quote:
