I enjoy creative, new ideas when it comes to letterboxing.
I like innovative clues and twists.
I like a good challenge and I'm in it for the kill.
HOWEVER,
I have just discovered a "Virus" letterbox.
The way I understand it is this:
Someone puts a Virus Letterbox in the hiding place of your letterbox.
It contains clues to where your original letterbox has been rehidden
somewhere else nearby.
My friend's letterbox was hit by the Virus and moved to a new
location, just around the corner, to a spot where local NON-boxers
easily found it, opened it, strewed the contents about and left it at
the mercy of the weather.
Needless to say,
But I'm saying it,
My friend was not happy to find his letterbox strewn about with a
soggy logbook and a weathered and cracked stamp.
I was not happy to hear about it either. So I consulted with some
other boxers before going absolutely ape (poo) here.
The placement of a letterbox is sacred.
Forget the "There is no rules" rule to letterboxing.
(And add all caps and exclamation point for emphasis.)
YOU DON'T REHIDE SOMEONE ELSE'S LETTERBOX IN A NEW LOCATION!
(I'm not talking about a letterbox in it's original hiding place that
faces imminent destruction - that's a different topic.)
I admire the innovation of the creation of a Virus Letterbox and
though, to quote a friend, "It seemed like a fun idea at the time."
It wasn't.
It resulted in the senseless dismemberment of a letterbox.
I welcome any and all comments on this topic.
Flame at will. I stand firm.

Nope, you are 100% correct here. Sounds like a fun idea in theory, but
the consequences can be (and were) bad. Please extend my sympathies to
your friend!

My dearest Ivy,
Her Ladyship most emphatically concurs. Such an act and even such an
idea reveals an unbridled confidence and a presumptuousness which is
unacceptable in polite society. Letterboxers consider their creation
including it's hiding spot to be a creative if not artistic expression
and one simply doesn't tamper with it. Period. The end.
You're too generous Ivy dear to reward this activity with praise for
it's creativity. It should never have been considered. If, as should
be the case, you have respect for someone elses property and creative
expression then it should have been an inconcievable idea. If one
selects a bad hiding spot for ones own box and it is destroyed then
one learns a lesson. If ones box is attacked by a virus and destroyed
as a result then one is righteously pissed. If her Ladyship may be
excused for stooping (er um curtseying) to using the vernacular.

My dear Sis, Lady Priss.
Thank you for your support and welcome home from rehab.
Perhaps you're right in saying I was too lenient, but I was trying NOT
to squash any creative juices in the boxing community.
I hope you're well rested for the weekend.

Finally out of the doldrums of letterboxing drudgery comes the wit and knowledge of those lovable boxers of yore - Poison Ivy and Lady Prisspot. Those of you new to this list should feel most graced as these are two of this talk lists most beloved people from years gone by.
Welcome back, LP -we've heard your rehab was difficult since you were not surrounded in the lap of luxury of which you deserve and expect. And we hated to see your downfall that was documented for all the world to see on our website. Sue & I are glad that better days are ahead. PI - thank you for bringing this controversial idea to the forefront on this list. We can always count on a frank discussion from you.
Speaking to the issue at hand - there is a basic issue that we discuss frequently on the Newboxers talk list:
NEVER MOVE ANOTHER PLACERS BOX UNLESS YOU RECEIVE PERMISSION!
This is a poor idea and one that we hope dies a quick death. As an added idea that came up in a discussion with others - it might be a nice twist for the placer of the box to do this to their own box. Then this idea may work. And only then!

I'm with you all the way. I only have one plant, planning a series in the spring, and I don't want them to be moved unless they are about to be destroyed. If I'm in a rush and need to do my maintence on them quickly, I won't have time to read someone else's clue and search for it (them).

Wow, no flames from me! I mean, I think it's a really cool IDEA. But just
that......an idea. An idea that shouldn't go anywhere.
The only way I could see doing it would be with the cooperation of the
original placer, just to make it interesting for finders. On the other
hand, I wouldn't want to do it anyway just because I wouldn't want anyone
else to get the idea that it was an OK thing to do all on their own.

WOW! Interesting concept and it does seem like a fun idea.... *IF*
they had permission from the original placer and the original placer
agreed with the new location, etc. To just move it with no
permission/approval of new location is absolutely horrible! That
takes an amazing amount of disrespect. I'd be furious! Did your
friend contact the virus-placer, how'd that go? Or were they cowards
that left no contact info?

Unless it were in imminent danger---move someone else's box & hide it nearby????
No! No, no, no. How wrong.
On the other hand--break into a parked car, rifle through someone's personal belongings, and abscond with a legendary letterbox? As the witch said:
"Possible.
Very, very possible...."

Okay, so, the obvious question is, who in tarnation did this?
If there was a "Bad Boxer Repository," this goofball should get
escorted en masse into its Halls of Misfortune.

We recently received a note from a Finder of one of our Oregon
Letterboxes, Fogarty's Flower. The location that we had picked for the
hide was a knarly tree. They found that the tree was labeled for
removal. They placed the letterbox in a nearby hiding spot, sent us
the clues and a photo of the location,(how do they put those little
cameras in cell phones?).
This is the imminent destruction that is another topic that PI
mentions. This is a case of a great move on the part of a finder.
