Jay,

Can we request an ownership transfer? The Fox Run Park is only a few miles from my house. I'd love to keep it in the list.

I apologize if this isn't kosher, as I'm a bit new to the fun.

*waves to Julie in CO*
I nearly fainted, since there are so few of us from CO on the list!
Email me offlist if you'd like to get together to box sometime soon!

Autumn

(and Jay - pretty please allow transfers if the owners don't show -
it would be a shame to lose clues just because we lose placers)

Great suggestion, Silver Eagle -

I would be willing to be the custodian of "MD Orphan" boxes. This is simply so any emails to the "owner" of those boxes could be sent to my email address and I could edit the boxes with updated information if anyone reports them found or damaged or whatever.

I would hate to lose the clues to any orphan boxes, but I certainly understand the chaos that having email go to the webmasters could cause.

Thank you webmasters, for your dedication and help with our hobby.

Please post for us a big ol' WARNING when the boxes are changed over,
and when the time is running out.

Thank You!!

How about creating a new owner with an email of someone willing
to be an adopted parent. In other words, I would be willing to
adopt all Texas Abandoned boxes so would create an owner of
"TX Orphan" or something similar and put my email as the contact.
Who would I contact to transfer ownership to this newly created
owner?

Some of the orphans appear to be mine. Is there a mechanism
for me to change the ownership to myself (in effect claim my
boxes)? I guess an alternative is for me to re-enter them after
the mass slaughter.

Todd

Under each of your boxes it has a place to click to claim your
boxed. It says click to have this box assigned to you...lots less
work than retyping

Julie in CO,
We try and keep everything kosher in letterboxing. "We don't need no
stinking rules!" Please adopt the poor little orphan box.

Buzzard,

Thanks! I heard from Jay last night, and so I guess the adoption will be complete soon. Sniff! My first box. I wonder if my new sig should read:

Gaura (aka Julie) in CO
P0 F0 X0 E0 A1

LOL!
