SS.com gets lots of traffic. Most of it, though, is in the European forums and some of the Regional forums. There's not a whole lot of discussion lately in the Manufacturer's forums but I think that's more of a reflection of people out riding instead of typing.
Although there's a good amount of Bool Sheet smack talk and conversation back and forth, SS.com is really supposed to be a RESOURCE for slalom skaters more than a community discussion board. As an Administrator I see literally hundreds of "guests" each week in the various forums. I can tell you I know they are checking out Pavel, reading up on Radikal, seeing if there's any news on the latest release of new GOGs, how does Gecko put the kicktail in a foam core board, and trying to find out what's so special about "black ops" urethane.
And that's what the forum is for and I think we succeed.
The only thing I'd like to see more of and I've tried to generate is more input from the manufacturers ABOUT their product. Not the latest sale price or who won, but real dynamic information about what a piece of equipment does and especially what justifies the price. In other words, a lot more "techie" talk. That, however, is just my preference.
