Again, I would disagree. If you look at the read counts, there are a whole lot more people reading the journals on CGOAB than just "friends and family". Personally, I don't have 50,000 friends or family but that's how many times one of my journals have been read.

And there is a large difference between CGOAB and the BikeForums. Although CGOAB has a forums section, it's main thrust is towards the journals. Those aren't supposed to be interactive, although there is a feature for communicating with authors.
