Personally, I think it's the disrespectful environment. A platform upgrade isn't going to change that, and at this point it'd be a waste of effort without a subtantial policy change.

So start a post. When was your last Baja trip and where did you go?

This site is no longer conducive to growth. Are 20 year olds posting on here? 40 year olds?

20 year olds are mostly in the two general FB groups - Talk Baja and Talk Baja Road Conditions. Plus, local groups, a dead-end town like BOLA alone has 2 or 3 groups. 20 year olds are tourists, transients, dropping in and out with quick posts that, let's say, don't give or generate much food for thought in a stable gathering like this one. Short attention span is inseparable from FB, I don't know whether the platform is inciting it or attracting this particular type of users. Zuckerberg created FB in his teen years as a gathering place to exchange photos, posts and profiles from yearbooks, and it shows. Meaningful discussion of anything is impractical because of FB lame structure. 2/3 of the screen width is taken by images and shortcuts, lack of sub-sections and poor view of a thread, some comments you can see, some other show as the number of comments, in no particular order ex. newer to older, even if you set it. I still believe that FB promotes short attention span and lack of thinking .
One thing Mark got right - built-in translator.
