Is Baja Nomad Dying?
The number of posts per day is going WAY down. Can we save it?
What I'm doing at work is so secret, even I don't know what I'm doing!
One should believe in God, because even Google doesn't know everything.

Perhaps, but if we all could keep posting Baja trip reports, Baja photos, Baja events, and stay away from politics... that may do it. We still have a
few regular posters who have never posted a trip report or photos of their times in Baja.
The difficulty for some to post photos (or learn the easy steps needed, currently) could be an issue, too.
The huge deposit of content from the past 20 years since Nomad forums began (2002), is an incredibel resource. The search feature here is like a pot
of gold, as well.

You do see a lot more of that all over the place. Up until a few years ago you would see it (childish names, mocking disabled, blatant lies) every day
in the news cycle coming out of the mouth of the leader of the biggest democracy in the world. Once that started seemed every buttcrack (including the
ones on this board) felt it was ok to come out from under their rock and say whatever the flock they wanted. Now of course that's just my opinion but
since I have studied human behavior practically my whole life I am entitled to that opinion and no one can convince me otherwise.
Facts. Truth. lol

The Vagabundos no longer have a link to forums. I wouldn’t like to see yet another source fall by the wayside.
Two dirt roads diverged in Baja and I, I took the one less graveled by......

I think covid and not being able to travel so easily had a big impact here. This should slowly but surely change back, right?
This site has been a wealth of information on everythig Baja - hotels, restaurants, roads, all invaluable and wonderful in real time.
It would be terrible for this to end. I say this writibg from Turkiye!

"Can we save it?"
My opinion is no. Would require stronger moderation to remove counter pointers, name callers, etc and I don't think that change will happen.
Outta here.

It's a bit odd, but the same people who are most willing to provide helpful information when asked are also the ones that are most often attacked and
abused personally. Why is that? And don't dare thank them for whatever helpful info they provided or defend them when they are attacked as that puts
you on the attack list as well by simple association.
Well meaning people just stop asking or contributing and go elsewhere to share their info. I have to admire those that hang in there despite all these
personal attacks, and thanks for your commitment.

Forums in general are in decline. In years past one could find a forum dedicated to almost any obscure subject, my experience with motorcycle forums
is an example. 15 years ago there were forums filled with info for the motorcycles I owned. There were a couple for the KLR that helped me a lot
over the years. Even a model like my 81 CB750 Custom had a forum dedicated just to that model. These forums still exist but share all the problems
of this and other forums. The link below gives a good overview of this decline and reasons for it.

The political stuff from both camps drive people away. It really is that simple.

we are all dying...jus sayin...
I love this forum and have made so many lifelong amigos through it. I love that we can banter with the poster...not like facebook which I am not real
fond of at all.
I do wish it was easier to post photos and of course that the personal attacks could be stopped.
I for one love the humour and classic posters who mansplain stuff..hahah...it is full of colourful characters.
Maybe if Facebook crashed we could revive Nomads.

BajaNomad is the perfect forum for Baja
like in Baja there are rules - but nobody follows them
nobody enforces them
a "less government dream" come true
like in Baja, in the end - bullies set the tone
and poison everything quiet, kind and gentle

Harold,
I hope that you are feeling better. That sign is the problem with government in one picture.
The speed signs are probably placed by a guy in the D.F. who has never driven the road. Micro-regulation not only doesn’t work it generates an
attitude that allows people to disregard rules that do matter.
I think that a lack of demanding personal responsibility and failure to teach critical thinking are to blame as well.
Bullies setting the tone! The DOJ using main battle tanks to settle a child custody case does come to mind here!

I have question for Harald or anyone else that drives into La Paz on Hwy 1 from the north. I have looked constantly for where the speed changes as
you are driving into El Centenario from the gas station and have found no signage. What is the speed limit and where does it change? I have assumed
80kph and just after the restaurant and gas station. Am I right? No one seems to slow down until long after that.
