Subject: Re: [Az-Geocaching] Az-Geocaching Digest, Vol 244, Issue 1
Unfortunately the stats went away years ago after geocaching.com decided
that the services that we were giving away for free for years conflicted
with their new features that were similar.
We received letters from their lawyers telling us to stop competing with
them and when we pointed out that we weren't competing with them, that
they were competing with us, they blocked our servers from being able to
reach their servers.

I did managed to pull a last round of stats a couple of years after they
cut us off and what the stats said was they had killed the geocaching
community in Arizona and reduced the amount of geocaching going on to
about 1/10th the rate that is had been going in the past.

The annoying part was that when we were approached about donating money
to our website we would require that the person first subscribed to
geocaching.com, so they really shot themselves in the foot money wise...
