I think the "Trump for president" thread sucked up all the energy of the server and crashed it. Holy crap there's some outright hostility over there these days. I've had to severely limit my interaction w/that board b/c of knucklehead keyboard cowboys who'll say stuff from behind the safety of their computer screen that they'd NEVER say to someone in person (and i'm talking about both sides of the political spectrum). It's very refreshing that the mood and tone of this board is so friendly. And without the constant threats from mods to keep it that way. We're self-policing if you will.

There are a couple trolls on wakeworld that just post asinine stuff that some people take seriously. But I agree, a lot of those threads just turn into bitch fests. I don't have moomba/supra but I love this forum and the info. It is good for all inboard and boat/water sports enthusiasts.

I agree. I read the forum every now/then to get a good laugh. I rarely post. Too many brand cheerleaders.

It's too bad, it's a big audience and with all boat and equipment reviews, there are different angles to everything. But someone is always getting their panties in a wad about something.

Not Russia, China getting back at Prez T. Stealing WW trade secrets.

When I try to log in from my iPhone on Tapatalk the error states that it is down for maintenance and will be back up and running soon. Been doing that ever since it went down.

I've never been on that forum. Is there anything of value that I could not get from this forum that could help me?

Alrighty then. No wakeworld for me.

There is some pretty good insight when it comes to wakeboarding/wakesurfing expertise as a lot of the people have their pulse on the professional side of things. There's a lot of good forums on trick tips and there's a lot of pros in both sports that will weigh in on a lot of the conversations. The Trump talk is just one thread of a multitude of off topic conversations. I'll grant you sometimes people get a little overly brand loyal/party loyal and like throwing some flame at others. But for the most part, it's a pretty constructive site that you can learn about the industry (boards, boats, tricks, etc.). And that's only the forums. There's also video edits, images and articles as if it were an online publication. Check it out if they ever get it up and running again.

You can find some good threads, just ignore the rest. Ragboy from Wake9 is on there sometimes. He had a great tip on Autowake on one of the threads.

Id say you might find 90% of his forum content on his own wake-9 forum. Or me may be even doing more blogging then forum posting.

We aren't missing anything really. That site is mainly nonsense.

Yeah but it's the principle. I used to frequent lots of forums that are dead now. Social media can't replace all the information on a forum.

For the record, I have come across info on other forums that they should be up and running again within the next few days.
