There's always the possibility the typo could be fixed. I'm guessing a few small-business owners might view people stopping to photograph their sign/typo as a bad thing.

the blue quasar:...The downside is that there would be SO MANY people there, Groundspeak might be like a wedding reception line. BQ I think you're right. We went to Groundspeak HQ last year, and we were one of *two* groups there. We actually had time to chat with Bryan, OpinioNate, Annie, and the folks. I can't imagine what the GW8 herd would ...

Redneck Parrotheads: ...Fast food is where it's at... but I think that's another can o' worms. ;) My thoughts exactly. Most fast-food franchises serve food that tastes like earthworms. The new ''Dirt-burger'' at McDonalds is a perfect example.

northernpenguin:Well, it seems the waymarking Gods are not without irony..... Human Error passed Peer Review, and, after making a few adjustments to the category description from some of the constructive peer votes (I *always* read them!)... I hit that ''Activate'' button. Guess what comes up now when I try to view the category ..... Your ...

TheBeanTeam:Pretty much. There was an interim transition where Groundspeak helped users set up Historical Marker categories for their particular location/area. After this phase the forum proposals seemed to pick up. In regards to waymarking being and experiment. I think that it is still and experiment. Every category is an experiment to see if it ...

fatcat161: Redneck Parrotheads: fatcat161: I do not think this should be a category for the same reason I disapprove of Illuminated School Sports Fields. We shouldn't be waymarking schools. In this day and age of information it is probably a mute point anyway. Darn that National Register of Historical Places, making schools vulnerable just ...

Count me among the many supporters of this new category. One question, though: I read the description, and didn't see anything about the percentage of the animal that needs to be at the ''kill'' site. There's about 40% of a skunk on a street near my house. Is that enough?

globetrotters.us: I would caution people to give valid feedback on the decline, reguardless of whether you think it a joke or not. It could be a real beginner, and some of the typical feedback responses could turn them off to waymarking forever, when it would be a good place to give direction. That's probably the best advice I've heard. ...

saopaulo1: ...It's all subjective. I'll go along with that. How ''McDonald's'' ever became a category is beyond me. Personally, their food is enough to make me turn vegan. But that horse left the barn long ago, and there's still plenty of people who *do* like their stuff. Retail categories... big yawn. But, that's another discussion for ...

Hey, I'm thinking one of the recent categories just changed its name. If I'm not mistaken ''State Park Passport Locations'' was originally ''Non-NPS Passport Locations''. Something like that. Anyway, I've got a related question: some of the lighthouses on the west coast have a passport-type stamp program. Since the lighthouse group is national, ...

Hmmn. I'm working on a Wherigo right now that incorporates several waymarks. Here's how it works: the player is a would-be thief out to steal a priceless sculpture. In the game, I have the player wander around six different outdoor sculptures (each of which is a waymark). In the end.. well, I'm still working on the ''final act.'' Anyway, it ...

BruceS: Wampa-One:Maybe the Seattle Art & Seek Category set a bad precedent then?  I was not around then, so I don't know the history of how it came to be.  Maybe since it is in the Games Department it is somehow different?The Seattle Art & Seek category was a special category set up by Groundspeak and the City of Seattle.  ...
