Any ideas on how I can facilitate and
promote the original intent of this themed cache?
Don't shoot the messenger, but you probably
can't.
I
recall finding that cache, and I believe whoever found it immediately before us
were the first to post their own recommendation. We tried to get it back on
track by reposting their recommendation in our log, but it didn't seem to
help.
We
placed a traditional themed cache, "Dogcacher". One look at the cache page and
it should be obvious that it's themed, even without reading the details. It's
supposed to be for dog toys. It's gotten everything from bumper stickers to
whoopee cushions. In fairness, it has also had several dog toy exchanges, and
many logs that have said in effect, "no dog toy to trade, so TN/LN".
People will do what they want with (and at) caches
("Took phone card, left used bubble gum"). In time, all caches will devolve and
entropy will be achieved.
So
as to add something constructive, I will suggest that you post a note log to the
cache restating your intentions, so that at least you'll have a better shot at
reaching people who pay the most attention to the most current log
entries.
And
I may as well take the opportunity, since whoever followed us didn't log our
selection, to tell this tale: When we found it, Judi wanted to recommend
Black Orpheus. I voted for Rashomon. So we compromised, and
wrote down Airplane!
