it is amazing I even saw this post so soon because I have essentially stopped checking the buzz except for maybe once a week or so and stopped posting altogether.
I don't know if it was the change in ownership or what. I will say that the forum has potential to be better than the old forum. Why doesn't anyone post trip reports or photos right into a thread like this? One of the coolest functions of this board is that you can read a report with photos embeded like a magazine. Maybe people have been posting trip reports and I have missed them.
I am not ready to blame anyone it just seems like there has not been any energy on this site for a while. I will say that the site I post on the most often tgr.com has very little in the way of moderation which makes it way more fun...even if people get their feelings hurt every once in a while.
