I'm new here.
I noticed the SimilarWeb rating of WhatHifi Forum to be be above 300K, and the main WhatHF site is above 5 million. That's very good. That means WHF is getting plenty to traffic. SimilarWeb allows one to compare traffic of various websites and Forums.
E.g. Stereophile.com is currently just below 500K, and is slowly sinking.
One reason for that is that stereophile.com decided to delete (disappear !!) their internal Forum (20 years of member comments and conversations LOST, with only some records at Arcive.org) . And, only recently, the FINAL BLOW: stereophile.com deleted all below-article feedback Comments. Jim Austin just didn't pause Comments; he got rid of all EVIDENCE:
www.stereophile.com
So many of us who left our FREE scholarship there are quite upset. The MQA debate, years ago, was multiple pages of user Comments. Very good discussions. All gone!
Stereophile is part of AVTech Media, who make the final decisions. And that includes site like HF News and HF Choice.
Sites and media corps that go this route are on their way out, and the corporate officers are calling the shots and cashing their stocks while the prices are high.
Don't let this happen at What Hi-Fi.
