Talk:Box Tracking

Wouldn't it be nice if the box tracking page showed the location (country and city) of a box next to its name? This way someone who thinks about starting a box can see if there already is a box in his (her) location, an decide whether to put himself on the "box request" page instead of starting a box, or start one anyway. --14:07, 2 July 2011 (UTC)Lucky Luke

Where did all the boxes go?

Most of the boxes seem to have disappeared in 2009 - we need a better way to track them/get people to pass them on and we need to slap a few people who still have one they haven't passed on.

I'm thinking of starting a couple but not if they get round 3 people then disappear...

Anyone got any good ideas? -- Mowcius

• Look at the "Nerdeland" tracking page. Getting this box passed on by the second receiver involved a lot of e-mails and phone calls to him, and eventually someone actually picking it up at his place, but the box didn't get lost. When you start a box, you 'll probably have to take care of it sometimes. According to the guidelines the previous recipient is responsible until the next one passes it on, but sometimes this might not be enough and you need multiple persons "slapping" the one that stalls the box. Peer pressure, used in a positive way, might work. --Lucky Luke
