Yes! People are still caching and I'm teaching it locally...but I don't have a lot of time to peruse the web, so what is it that you're talking about regarding the "lawyers" and "take down functionality"...I'm interested, because my son and I contacted geocaching.com this summer regarding an idea we had and wanted to know how they could help us get started; they told us a bunch of hoopla then basically stole our idea. I was not a happy camper!
I personally haven't been out in quite a while. The cachers that I run into all tell me that they aren't looking for caches anymore, though some say they still go to some of the get together events to hang out with friends.
I know for me the joy was sucked out of it when the lawyers for geocaching.com contacted us to tell us to take down functionality that we had created and they had copied.
This discussion list has also died. It used to get a couple dozen messages a day in its heyday, now we get about a message a month.
Are people still caching? It seems like it became a dying/dead fad from where I sit.
