It has been mentioned above, but I want to add my voice.
Many (most) of the forums that I used to regularly contribute to have trended down as participation in so called "Social Media" has risen. Climbing, flying, running, etc. forums have now become climbing, flying, running, etc. groups on Facebook. It seems to be the natural course if for no other reason then that is where the critical mass is.
My distaste for this trend is specifically the loss of knowledge.
1: The ability in a FB post to put out any sort of organized presentation of knowledge is extremely limited, which means ... the knowledge sharing is really limited.
2: This forum (and most others) has a logical topic layout as well as a search interface and function that allows me to go back in time and access the vault. Facebook is HORRIBLE in this regard. Not only can I not access past information easily, I feel like I'm putting effort into a black hole.
As far as more creationists showing up? Less and less likely I suspect.
Grateful for this resource.
