<p>Page creation</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Archived''' is the term used to indicate that a geocache is no longer available for hunting. This is the termed used on [http://www.geocaching.com/ Geocaching.com], while [http://www.navicache.com Navicache.com] uses the term ''retired''.<br /> <br /> A geocache that has been archived means that it is intended to be permanently removed from the list of available geocaches, as opposed to a ''temporarily disabled'' status, which indicates that the geocache may be returned to available status. Archiving is a decision that either the geocache owner or a moderator makes. An archived may be restored to active status, but this is at the discretion on a website moderator.<br /> <br /> Geocaches may be archived for a number of reasons. The geocache owner may simply have decided to no longer maintain the geocache for whatever reason he or she sees fit. Sometimes a geocache is archived because of a hazard posed by the geocache or its location. For example, the land upon which the geocache is placed is no longer available.<br /> <br /> Should the geocache be available for hunting but the owner is no longer willing or able to maintain the geocache (which may result from a move), an alternative to archiving is [[Cache Adoption|geocache adoption]].<br /> <br /> [[category:terms]]</div>
