the_SD_local
I own SR.
There is a huge amount of discussion that has happened over the years in Social Media group chats (and to a much larger degree in comment sections) regarding the history of all different brands, components, teams and videos because a brands story is how a part derives its value.
These GCs are limited hangouts, and information is inaccessible to the wider community; inaccessible even to the members since most chats are not searchable making these discussions lost forever in an endless feed.
GCs hardly have rules and are virtually impossible to keep discussions on topic.
I propose using a platform where topics can be properly categorized, conversations can be productive and history can be documented for the past, present and future riders in the sport.
I propose moving those discussions back to SR where they can be publicly viewed and searched.
Public user registrations will remain closed. All previous user accounts are grandfathered in and can login and post. All new user account requests would need to be reviewed on an individual basis based on their history and experience in the sport as seasoned riders, brand owners, product designers, marketers, etc.
Social Media has provided us an endless quantity of unproductive, unaccountable slop interactions in our feeds when all we really need is quality discussion again.
