Even without registering, you should still get a fair impression of the style of posts considered acceptable there. You don't have to know what they're talking about.
Great thread. I'm a big pangolin fan, too

The point is that this is a totally acceptable forum (to the UK climbing community, which is probably bigger than the world geocaching community), yet if GC.COM were moderating it would be closed down completely within hours...
I'd guess so... it would be fairly difficult to bring an ant-eater/pangolin thread around to geocaching... and as for that reference to "a 2' long tongue"...

I think that any attempt to make an internet forum totally "world wide family friendly" is bound to run onto the rocks fairly regularly, and that we're suffering from over-ambitious expectations in this area.
Maybe.

Remember that the Groundspeak "UK Forum" is simply a US Geocaching Forum section, dedicated to talk about UK caching. Not a dedicated UK forum.

Precisely. That's the way I see it.
