I dont think it was too harsh at all. I have found many a great headstone or historical location that I wanted to make a virtual because I knew I could not drive there in a reasonable time to replace a logbook. Many cachers created a boatload of virtuals and after the sign has been missing for months they still dont do anything for the cache because it is _only a virtual_ and they have no intention of checking it.

 

I personally found a virtual the other day and had the owner tell me my answer was wrong. I quoted the plaque and they went to look at it and low and behold I was correct and the cache owner was incorrect.. Is this and issue? Depends..

 

 If the cache owner lived 200 miles away, I doubt they would have diven to the site and confirmed my answer..

 

Virtuals have a great place, but as I have been told by admins and agree, if you cannot maintain a logbook in the area, you most likely cannot maintain a virtual there either.

 

If the cache owner would have done the maint that they said they would, the cache would not have been archived..

 

The cache can be reactivated when and if the problem with the log is corrected.

 

if the cache owner does not care enough, then it should be archived. I have requested many caches to be archived when they go 6 months with nofinds and no attempt to fix them.
