+Phone guy Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Is there a post somewhere that lists or keeps count of who the top cachers are? Link to comment
bug and snake Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 DUCK! Actually, No..... Welcome to the forum..... Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 There are some local and natioanl opt in sites but...because they don't list everyone they are only good to a very limited extent. CCCooperagency is #1 though. Link to comment
+Phone guy Posted May 6, 2004 Author Share Posted May 6, 2004 I have been able to find number 1 and 2 and also #1 Travel Bug finder. Link to comment
+Gazza&Girls Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 DUCK! Actually, No..... Welcome to the forum..... ... which has rankings of posters. Link to comment
+Phone guy Posted May 6, 2004 Author Share Posted May 6, 2004 (edited) So far as you stated #1 is CCCooperAgency, #2 is Team Alamo and #1 Bug catcher is TH&G. I was looking for some others to share at our event GCHZRY.(way point) Edited May 6, 2004 by Phone guy Link to comment

+Phone guy Posted May 6, 2004 Author Share Posted May 6, 2004 Those are the numbers but who are they? Where did you find the numbers? Link to comment
+Phone guy Posted May 6, 2004 Author Share Posted May 6, 2004 Ahh I see you are the President of Groundspeak inc.. That would explain the numbers. Thanks Link to comment
+TeamJiffy Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Jeremy - I love the list you just provided. Seriously. For everyone, it lets you know how you stack up compared to the top finders, without making explicit the leaders.... I would love to see this list updated daily on a page... That way, I know my find count of 1020 is roughly 1/5th of the best finder count. The fact that the top finder is AAAAnderson, BBBBaker, CCCCooper or DDDDonaldson really doesn't matter to me. So, please provide the top find counts daily just as you have here. -Jif Link to comment
Jamethiel Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 So far Jeremy has not put together a stats page for Geocaching.com. There used to be a kinda fun one that wasn't associated with GC.com but Dan turned it off while back when he ran out of time/energy (I think that is what I remember). Keenpeople lets you list your own stats, but since it is on the honor system and needs to be kept updated by you every time yours change, it hasn't completely taken off. Our local area in Montana has the SGPS system by Skydiver for rankings. So, to (kinda) answer your question, there is no end all, be all stats page for all geocaching and the only way to find stats like you want would be to look up each person one at a time. Good luck! -Jennifer Link to comment

+Sparky-Watts Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Well, in my own little twisted mind, I'm always #1!! That's all that really matters, right? So long as you know I'm #1, and I know I'm #1, then who cares about the rest, right? Right? Right?!?!?!?!? Link to comment

+briansnat Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I long for the days that we could just direct posts like this to the old stats site. It had its flaws, but provided a great service. Link to comment
Jeremy Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Throwing out all accounts with 0 finds... If you found more than 60 caches, you are in the top 10 percentile of all geocachers on the geocaching.com web site. If you found more than 263 caches, you are in the top 2 percentile of all geocachers. If you found more than 419 caches, you are in the top 1 percentile of all geocachers. Link to comment

Jamethiel Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 If you found more than 419 caches, you are in the top 1 percentile of all geocachers. Yay! Now that is acutally something I had wondered about for a while. Percentile breakdowns are cool. I wish there was a page that one could compare finds to in order to find out where one stands compared to other cachers, without being blatently compared for all to see. I'm sure it would cause controversy. -Jennifer Link to comment
Jeremy Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Yes. "All geocachers" would be worldwide. Link to comment
+Criminal Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Is there a post somewhere that lists or keeps count of who the top cachers are? I have a 4x4x8 out in the shed you can use, if you need a post. I'm number one, at least in my world. Link to comment

+blazerfan Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Even if we never have a true stat page with rankings I would love to see a statistics page with percentage breakdowns like this. I now have a goal of being in the top 1%. Numbers don't mean a whole lot to me, but I love them just the same. Just part of being a tech geek I guess. Before they invented Computer Science I probably would have been a statistics major... I probably should have been anyway Link to comment
+geo-jedi Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 #3 is BruceS. He has 3403 listed but as far as I can tell he stopped loggin online with that account back on November 3rd. He posted some early notes about power caching. Team Geo-Jedi Link to comment
+Nurse Dave Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Your rank out of 4984267 total users is: 282993rd place. The number of users who have this rank: 256 You have completed more work units than 94.317% of our users. That's from Seti@home why not at least do something like that?

Jeremy Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I was wrong about the stats. I was using total log counts.

If you found more than 60 caches, you are in the top 9 percentile of all geocachers. 8th Percentile: > 68 7th > 78 6th > 92 5th > 109 4th > 133 3rd > 168 2nd > 230 1st > 369 Link to comment

+TeamJiffy Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I support seeing as a pair of automatically computed pieces of info available at all times: 1) That fantastic list Jeremy just created, showing "If you have found... you are in the top..." 2) The idea of seeing on "My Cache Page" the "seti@home" statistic mentioned above. -Jif Link to comment

+briansnat Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 That page has to be killing the server with every page load... Well maybe if GC. Com added a stats page similar to Dan's old page, that wouldn't be an issue. Could be a subscriber only feature. Hmmm, maybe that could provide added incentive for more people to join....and if some people are uncomfortable with their name being displayed, they can opt out and it could say "anonymous" next to their count.

Actually, that's pretty much what I was thinking, but instead of "opt out" have the default be "anonymous" and just have a find count, no links to a page or anything, just broken down by state. Then have the OPTION to "Opt in" for those of us who aren't afraid of someone knowing how many caches we've found. Link to comment
+cachew nut Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Well maybe if GC. Com added a stats page similar to Dan's old page, that wouldn't be an issue. I agree. It might even cause me to start geocaching again. Link to comment
