- For a moment, the way you typed that message made me think it was an automated message! I'm pretty excited that, within hours of me being on the site, some complete stranger has found me and said hello! Just how big is this? How many geohashers are there? I had no idea xkcd is as famous as it is until recently. JPBStory =-) 20:09, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

- Again, sounding remarkably like an automated message. Must be a geohasher thing. Thanks for the tip though. HAPPY HASHING INDEED! If anyone could shed some light on how you add achievements I'd be very grateful. I know I haven't achieved any yet but I intend to. JPBStory =-) 23:08, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
- If you go the the Acheivement page there is usually a link to the template. For example: near the top of the Snowman Geohash there is a link for the Template:Snowman_geohash. Copy and paste and fill in the blanks! :) --Meghan 22:40, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
