I don't know if this is possible, or if it is a dumb question. I have done a couple different websites, and have learned a lot about targeting certain audiences. Knowing that this is a snowmobile community, the targeted audience obviously is snowmobilers. What I am wondering is if the staff at SnoWest has looked deeper into the demographics and doing ratios of users? I know I am fairly "young" on this site, as most users as far as I can tell are the 30-50 age range..mostly male. So why the "social networking" aspect to the forums? Is it because of all the hype of Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter? Do we really need to get that in-depth on a snowmobile related forum? I am sure this question has been brought up many times..so I'm probably sounding like a broken record. From my user experience on various other snowmobile sites, they have decided to go this route and I eventually chose to make SnoWest my staple for all my snowmobile information...because it was so user-friendly, and easy to navigate through. In the end you are gonna do what you are gonna do, so maybe my say doesn't really much matter!
