I've heard that newschoolers prime was in 2009-2012 which was before I was a member. It would be rad to see more people on newschoolers and get the pros back on.

Mr.BishopMingg is actually really right. Fuck it. You don't like NS, so be it. Tighter community of core skiers who are super into this will be far better for both NS as a business and the community as a whole.
The man in charge of NS thinks like this, and people wonder why there isn't any money in the skiing industry

Youre an idiot if you think that the reason for the ski industry crashing has to do with people being nice to each other on the internet.Why the fuck would any parent be excited about paying hundreds of dollars on equipment, and then drive to a mountain which costs more, and then spend an entire day at said mountain and then drive home after if it isnt their passion? Skiing is dying because its expensive, hard to pick up and requires a lot of time to become good enough to where it becomes interesting. this along with the fact the world economy is crashing gives good reason. If you dont think im right about the economy read a fucking newspaper and if youre upset cause Bishop doesnt give a fuck about people who stop by once or fucking sidesnacks then youre an idiot. A loyal small community of daily or weekly visitors to the site is way more important.

Did you not see the rest of his post though? Forums are a very small part of ad revenue. If it made a big difference, I'm sure NS would be posting up a storm trying to drive traffic into them like they do with other parts of the site haha.
Want more money going towards NS/the ski industry? Donate to NS. Buy products from companies you want to support. Shop local. Go to events, etc. (this isn't directed at you btw, just general thoughts and rambles)

I mean don't get me wrong were all about supporting the forums. It's a fantastic piece of Newschoolers.
The he thing is that we don't need these things to be mainstream. It's going to be better if we are left with a smaller group of people who are really passionate about chatting endlessly on skiing. Nothing could be better for us.
Sure its its not a huge money maker - but it's an awesome part of the site.
What we don't need is the droves of random fucksticks who are just here to get a rise out of people for the sole purpose of fucking with the world. It seems that the popularity of the site brought that with the changes in social media / the Internet as a whole all at once.
Will NS be the place it was originally going forwards? No. Will it be something which is a better place for the new revolution in skiing?
Absolutely.
