I support this achievement! Although I like the name Geohashiversary better. Thepiguy 16:39, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

I also support it, just for the record. Geohashiversary is a bit long, IMO, but I do not oppose the name. I am definitely going hashiversaring on my hashiversary, and I assume others might want to do that too. -- relet 21:03, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

I love it. I want to see more a provision for February 29th, and clairify if it should be the anniversary of the first successful geohash or the first attempt, no matter how lame. NW -Robyn 21:12, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't like the way you've treated 29 February. I can see somebody saying to themselves "I like the idea of this geohashing thing. Now, when shall I go on my first expedition. Hey, 29 Feb is coming up -- that will make it really special!". And also, it is difficult to get this ribbon if you are not able to go hashing on every day of the week. I think that you should be able to celebrate your hashiversary either on the same date of your first expedition, or on a date which is the same day of the week as your first expedition, and is the instance of that day which is nearest the exact date anniversary. (So hashing on Friday 29 Feb 2008 would allow you to celebrate on Friday 27 Feb 2009, Friday 26 Feb 2010, and would presumably give you a choice of Fridays in 2011; either 25 Feb or 4 March). At the moment I do not oppose the achievement, but I also think it needs work and then I will support it when this is done. -- Benjw 08:57, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

I honestly don't think we have to consider those who choose Feb 29 deliberately. If you think that Feb 29 is something special, take your time to reconsider *why* it is special. I would have been worried if there were a Feb 29, 2009 and people had hashed on that day before. But we can still create a (gratuitous) ribbon for the Hashiversary (observed) if it ever happened. -- relet 09:18, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
