I would be curious to know from SC or the Admins, why they still have 2 forums – Supra and Moomba?
I understand brand identity and how thing were setup once-upon-a-time, but:
* Most of the new Supra Boat owners are posting and monitoring the Moomba site
* The Supra site does not get many new posts. They do not even have a monthly picture thread anymore. Most of that audience are the boater fixing-up-crowd with older boats - 80s. 90s, etc. I think that is important to have, but do not understand to have a forum just for that audience called Supra.
* New Supra owners are thinking they can get an answer on the Supra site by posting questions, but they do not get responses and are directed over here. Some of the SC company people direct them over here. Ha Ha.
* There are many topics that are boat neutral – audio, lights, upgrades, general boating questions, announcements like Wake the World or Group Outings/Jams/Reunions, etc.
* Other companies, like BU, just have 1 site.
I read both, but with takeoff of the Supra and Moomba Owners Facebook Page, most of the 3K readers are on that social media platform. Which is easy to use and easy to post pics. For me, I’m not a big Facebook fan (overall). Probably sent me over the edge with all the political crap in the last year . . . and it still continues. It's already getting old looking at everyone’s surf wake pics and ballast questions. Not really a a good method for posting, saving, or searching on HOW-TO topics. Topics that are good to be saved.
What do you think?
