Re: Souvenirs de Agosto vs Eventos
Os Souvenirs de Agosto ainda estão a causar "azedume" e polémica no fórum oficial da Groundspeak:
"During all that debate, did at least one discussion participant mention that some members were going to think your August plan was so stupid that they would decide to NOT FIND ANY CACHES AT ALL IN AUGUST? The discussion instead was only about how to name it so they would stay close to each other? I could have offered you a few choice suggestions. Thank You very little for ruining a very pleasant month in the Northeast (sorry, Mid Atlantic) for me. What is your plan to compensate me for those lost opportunities?
You already know you can never make everybody happy, but you seem to have to constantly work to make different groups a little less unhappy. Fewer bad ideas up front (better mistakes?) would require less damage control later. We have the ability to hide these now (done). Delete would have been better, but don't waste any more time on this."

"I found it a bit silly that some cachers actually boycotted finding caches in August because of the unwanted souvenirs. I think a little bit of transparency on Groundspeak's part could have avoided all of this.
Since the Feedback forum was discontinued, I have a been a very vocal part of the forums about the lack of feedback regarding development and especially response to repeated requests from different members about similar issues. That said, I am VERY happy about this new feature. It gives me hope that while there may be no, or little public response, the messages are obviously getting through.
I was following a thread in the GSAK forum today about an api issue. The OP was advised to put his request on the Groundspeak forum where his response was "why bother, they don't listen". Frankly, your users should not have a reason to have that attitude. I understand that every request can not have an individual response, but when a dozen forum threads all focus on the same topic, (August souvenirs), and you are actually looking at a solution, why not say so?
I also know that it is now December and not August, and between then and now there seems to be a shift towards better communication. I've always had the impression that Moun10bike has been stuck in a tough spot, and I think that Jayme has been the most positive thing to hit this forum in a long time.
For some reason, I think that Groundspeak should probably download and watch all of the old Dilbert cartoons which satirized the constant battle between Marketing and Development."

It's not always the find that brings the smiley... 
It's not about the number you've found.
It's about the fun you had along the way.
The only numbers that matter are the friends you make!
It's all about the journey, the challenge, and enjoying the outdoors!
