Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

It would be cool if there was a global leaderboard of your total from all zones. I am winning my local area but not sure how I compare with the world...

Does anyone know if there is any way of leaving this game (I can't see anything on here http://www.fetcheveryone.com/checkpoints.php), or at least turning the fmail notifications off as they're starting to bug me now?

Is there not a link in the emails that says click here if you don't want any more email notifications ?

I can't check until I do a run later as I've deleted all my checkpoint emails, but pretty sure there is, down the bottom after it tells you of your times for all the sections you've ran

Thanks Gus. TBH I've not opened a notification for at least a month, just deleted them.

Been fun using these to mix up my run commutes this past year or thereabouts

Some pie in the sky development ideas for this i've had, no worries if not viable or priority:

Overlay checkpoints on training log entry map (see nearby checkpoints missed, helps with future route planning).

Alternative "ave points per checkpoint local league" - measure of quality over quantity

Colour code for users unvisited checkpoints in zone (grey?), likewise coloured lines between checkpoints (grey is not linked, yellow is one direction, red is both directions?).

Local route planner - input number of checkpoints to visit, site suggests a route.(this might be mega complex and legally impossible due to liability tho?)

Ta tho, it's good as it is so no biggy.

Do only runners appear on the local leaderboards? I do mostly biking and have racked up a number of connections but I'm not on the local leaderboard. I'm also wondering if some of my efforts are those that have appeared as anonymous.

Yep, I've noticed no emails for last 2 or 3 days, but I did get a new notification for a new checkpoint pair that I've not had in the past, so sounds like there's been some tinkering going on, sure we'll be told soon............

I've shifted it to notifications when you hit a new connection, or beat a time.
