theabortionatorStill people posting content but the forums have dipped hard the last 2 and a half years.
Cant help but think all these new updates haven't helped. I feel like every time I log on I have to relearn the pages layout. IMO this newest UI is fucking garbage. Bring back the Pornhub looking UI.
Dead in Oregon. I'll be checking NS when I'm in the office. Still ski season here and now I've gotta mow the lawn and everything too. Summer is tiring.
Let's be honest. What did we really lose? More threads asking "what color full tilts I should buy?" Another "what's sicker, west coast vs east coast?" Some mom'as boy claiming he's better then one of the male or female pro skiers out there?
And I'm still waiting for Splice production to come out with something, anything at this point. If you ask me we are all better off without all dat shit.
And if Newschoolers is a indication of the projected ski Industry trends, good because that means more powder for me.

But how are we going to find out the exact zipper length of all the trendy sweatshirts?
There used to be posts about everything, ex: gnartron had the news on lock with copy&pasta, but now there are hubs, like Reddit and insta. This was a community, not a website. Now there are bigger communities with subcommunities that people head for before they look for a specialized website.
How many new members (actual new members, not new accounts) actually join NS now?
The NS forums should just make like runescape (lol) did when then realized their population was a bunch of neckbeards reminiscing about the good ol days, they released an exact copy of the game from like '07 or something and it was fucking awesome.
I was the first commenter on one of the JOSS update posts on the front page of NS back when JOSS was dope. Like the second till last year of it. /Credentials
I threw a wish in the well
Don't ask me I'll never tell
I looked at you as it fell
And now you're in my way
I trade my soul for a wish
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this
But now you're in my way
Your stare was holding
Ripped jeans
Skin was showing
Hot night
Wind was blowing
Where you think you're going baby?

Still check occasionally to see if anything interesting is happening. I feel like two years ago there were a bunch of member beefs which made things interesting. Last year it was political threads, but now a lot of the rowdier members have been banned. Now its just kids talking about vapes? Guess every summer nsg dies a little more.
I think the big culprit is social media. I'll check instagram, snapchat, and youtube before I even think to check the forums. And I don't even use social media very much compared to the newest 12-17 year old generation.
If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, no, baby please don't go
And if you leave me now, you'll take away the very heart of me
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, no, baby please don't go
A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away?
You guys ever hear of reddit? That forum that has a forum about any topic imaginable... yeah... tech moves on, trends move on, free skiing isn't some small culty niche anymore, hell even facebook has all those groups for everything imaginable, local ski swap, local partner connections, couch surfing etc... ns is dead.

Well I'm sure some of them might... the people here must have done somewhere, and Reddit does have a karma system!
SkiBum.So I don't on this site much, mainly just snoop around these days. Have been on it forever, don't really ski anymore.
But what is up. Looks like no activity on this site anymore? All threads have no replies, there is 29 people currently on.
So this site is washed up now?
You are one of my favorite members you always have something interesting to say. Shout outs to all of the members on NS who continue to post original content and keep this dying site alive. The social media giants continues to devour most sites that are specialized nowadays and it's sad to see. I myself am a fan of this forum because the people who reside here are so passionate about skiing and understand the culture and ins and outs of it so well. I am a Reddit user but Reddit just doesn't have the level of personality that NS does because popular content gets boosted to the top and you end up not reading everything.

As I grow older this meme resides more and more with me. I didn't understand the whole fidget spinner craze and then I picked one up off of my friend's table to play with while completely hammered after a day of drinking on the 4th and was actually having fun with it and could then better understand the childhood wonderment with the toy.
