Forum Numbers - Are Cat's really that popular?

Frostbite · Nov 13, 2009

I have been watching the total numbers of posts for each specific snowmobile brand for quite some time. I was a little surprised to see that Arctic Cat has continually had the highest number of posts since Snowest revised the forum.

Are Cat's really twice as popular as Yamahas?

I realize the numbers below fluctuate but, the Cat numbers continue to remain far above the rest. Actually, this is the closest I have ever seen Skidoo. So post away Cat boys!

So based on the below numbers, shouldn't Cat be the #1 snowmobile brand? :beer;

Arctic Cat 96,001
Polaris 89,639
Ski-Doo 64,050
Yamaha 47,017
Sub-Forums 10,183

LMAO! :beer;

Were a loyal Bunch! Love to talk about the best sleds money can buy!

M-Rider · Nov 13, 2009

Maybe Cat riders are more computer literate.

shredjim · Nov 13, 2009

Snow WEST as in West Coast ie mountains. I don't think anyone would argue that in the Mountains, Arctic Cat is King!

Cascade Crud · Nov 13, 2009

Cat owners are dead loyal. I have ridden almost entirely cats since I started riding. My one deviation was a 2000 summit 700 wich I broke the living hell out of in one season riding the same way I had been on my powder special and it held up fine.

I'm on my 4th new cat since then

I bleed green

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I also attribute some of that to not having another strong Cat forum, like the Doo boys have with Dootalk. At least I haven't found one. I know most of my Doo friends live on Dootalk and stop by here on occasion. I live here as I haven't found another good Cat powder site.

shredjim · Nov 13, 2009

Good point vdo, Dootalk is a great forum. I spent a lot of time on there until I bought my M8. I bet dootalk gets even more popular when SW starts charging for membership.

CAT Is #1

Hey Frosty I've noticed this too, especially vs doo. Because doo is suppose to be #1. In our circle of sleds cat and doo are about equal in numbers, how does your numbers stack up. doo vs cat or any other brand.

There are a couple other Strong Arctic cat forums, but neither come close to offering the amount of information we have here on Snowest for the M Series. The other are more for the F Series and XF.

I am always open to suggestions, and I know I still have loads of work to do on the quick links page, but feel free to drop me a PM on making the Cat forums better. Im glad to see we have a lot of traffic!

Besides arcticchat.com, what other forum are you talking about? just curious!

skidooboy · Nov 13, 2009

when this becomes pay to view where are we all going to migrate to? i pay for the mag subscription, i dont feel i should have to supplement the publisher for the internet forum too. we have a good group here, i am a moderator on dootalk, and totallyamaha.com i have migrated to the snowest M forum because i bought two M's recently and couldnt get as much info i needed on arcticchat.com not disrespecting any of the sites including this one but, we need a place to get together.

i have an error issue i only get here on snowest, and i cant read any pages with more than 30 or so posts on it. cant say i want to pay for a site when i cant access 100% of it. i have contacted christopher multiple times, and he always says he will look into it for a fix, and yet i still have the error. ski

I cuurently don't ride with any guys riding Doos. I just broke off from my Yamaha riding group and I'm still trying to meet more Cat riders in my area.

Pay to use a website? It figures, about the time everyone figures out how great this forum is, they start charging.

What's next, paying to get on Craig'slist?

That's sad, our numbers will drop off very quickly. The same thing would happen to the volume of people if Craigslist starts charging.

polarisfornow · Nov 13, 2009

i might attribute the high posting to the number of mods the cat guys do. It seems like the aftermarket supports cat a little more and hence there are more questions about tuning and mods and such. That and the fact that the m chassis has remained in cats lineup for so long. Most of the other brands are on a newer chassis so not as much info to share with older sleds. Just a thought

snowmanx · Nov 13, 2009

More posts on cats because they have way more issues and problems! LOL

Serously, I went to cat last year, a turbo KK, after many years with doo;and once I tried a M series I had to have one, 1000 turbo, but that was after I bought a 09 XP....I like that too.

Doesn't surprise me that they are twice as popular as yamaha though, probably alot more than that in the field.

www.hardcoresledder.com is pretty popular with cat guys in the midwest and east coast. Cat posts lead by almost double on this forum as well. Their is a pretty descent following on M/Xf sleds, its a totally free site too!

Steve D · Nov 13, 2009

Got your reason right here.

See: http://www.snowest.com/forum/showthread.php?t=178240

BTW, what ski's would work best with an mbrp can on an m8?

89sandman · Nov 14, 2009

were number 1!!!

Frostbite · Nov 14, 2009

It seems I should have posted this on the "All Arctic Cat" forums category. I bet our fellow Cat riders would be interested to know they are #1 as well.

Is there a way to move a thread to another category (if you're not a moderator)?

Idcatman3 · Nov 14, 2009

There isn't a way if you're not a mod, but I can report the thread to the right person if you'd like it moved.
