Hey, folks, settle down. This was just an April Fool’s joke. None of these attributes really exist, nor is there any plan to implement them. — Ryan
New Letterboxing Attributes!
For years, people have quizzed me wanting new attributes for letterboxes. Winter-only boxes, adult-only boxes, Summer-only boxes, hunting season warnings, and so forth. And I’ve resisted most of them. Oh, I had excuses. It was too much work to implement. It was impractical for whatever reason. But I got to thinking about it, and you know what? They are excuses. Or, at least, they were excuses. There’s no reason I can’t support all these options and more. Geocachers have been doing it for years, so why shouldn’t Atlas Quest?
So by golly, I’ve done it. At long last, every attribute you could possibly need is now supported. Here’s a list of all the new attributes you can select:
