If you are using GSAK to maintain an up to date list of local caches, you have probably come across the problem of removing archived caches.

One way has been to use the RefreshAllGPX macro which you could use to update the records of a limited number of your oldest cache files.

It appears that some users may have been misusing this macro to overload the GC servers by downloading too many caches to their databases. As a result, Clyde has announced here - http://gsak.net/board/index.php?showtopic=13404 - that the macro has been removed from the GSAK website, and GSAK users who continue to use it may get banned by GC.com.

Take Note!!
