Con Recent move to subscriptions has greatly decreased its appeal and thus community size
Con Website layout can be confusing at first
The website design is fairly crowded. With so many features available on the site, it can take some time to figure out how to navigate it.
Con Lists places that are out of business
Gogobot does not keep their lists of businesses and attractions up-to-date, so some of their listings are no longer in business.
