Hello Everyone!
Welcome to the first 24 hours of GeocachingFora, the newest and (hopefully) best geocaching community outside of geocaching.com. I have been scouring the internet looking for geocaching forums to see what else was out there and only found a few small regional forums or facebook groups. This lead me to wanting to create another centralized geocaching forum where cachers can tell stories and share tips and tricks from their adventures.
I know many of you are members of several geocaching groups on facebook as well, but I also suspect that you see the same issues I do with these groups. Someone posts a question, it may get answered, but it quickly gets lost in the mass of other questions and posts. There is no way to go back and look to see if it was really answered or even look for it to share with others. Forums however do allow a much more intimate way to communicate with others and build friendships.
As this forum is very new, it will take some time to get the topics started and even set up all the settings. My hope is that with a little help from the caching community, this site will grow very quickly. Once we have shown that we really are here to stay and care about the forum, we will be looking to upgrade and expand this forum into a much more modern site with many more features... but first thing is first, we need people.
Feel free to share this forum with your friends or when you want to share caching stories. Post throughout the forum and use the linking options to share the posts elsewhere too. If you see anything that can be improved, don't hesitate to reach out to me and I will be more than happy to make needed improvements.
Again, this is only the beginning, but I anticipate great things and I can assure you that this forum is not going away. It will be here to stay for many, many years to come.
Thank you,
Daniel - GeocachingFora Community Management
