From another "disgruntled former user:"


The best advice I didn't follow was roughly, "Post your journal to CGOAB, but don't participate in the forums." It really is set up to encourage bike touring blogging with a good selection of fields to fill in (e.g. date, mileage, title), a nice story-telling flow that's more challenging to duplicate in other sites, and reasonable facilities for uploading pictures.



And this is the downside of the forums. A short note on this forum with a reasonable complaint about the lack of development of crazyguy gets a seven paragraph diatribe. Disagree with the proprietor, you may get banned. Offend him, even inadvertently, and you'll get thrown off. For a while (I haven't followed lately), you could count on at least one significant contributor running afoul of these unposted rules and getting tossed every 6-9 months, usually in the spring and again in late summer.


So if you do decide to post a trip blog on crazyguy, make sure you have a backup. And stay off the forums.
