The comical part is that GC lets
the cachers do all the work, including populating the online database,
and then holds that information proprietary, and sells the output of a
search script back to the cachers who did all the work. Well, that and
the untrimmed full text of the user agreement shot to everyone's inbox.
Personally, I would use a list of
2000+ names to create a devious puzzle cache and put some expensive
electronic gear in it to make people beat their brains out trying to
solve it. But that's me.

Re: [Az-Geocaching] Cache database
I cannot answer that question, nor would I attempt to make a guess. I
am interested on how a list of 2000+ names would be of any use, as the
Names are not searchable for archived caches. Which means your then
asking for the 2000+ GC numbers (without the names? or with? Cause now
your getting to the information in a .LOC file which you also are not
supposed to share.)
I would be real interested to see who, mostly new cachers, goes
through the entire list of 2000+ archived caches in Arizona to read the
'history' when they have no information about the location of the cache
to begin with.
You do what you have to do, I was simply stating I thought someone
should let the new cachers know that sharing that dataset is a
violation of the usage agreement and anything done beyond that is up to
whomever.
Discussing it (ways to get around the terms of service agreement) on a
multi state forum is the comical part of all this. :-)
