The problem with a cult is: nobody will use it. Only a few cults that
have a broader appeal usually work (eg crochet cult), or where
conversation is really pertinent to a smaller group. The reason why so
many fail is a thread in the appropriate forum will usually suffice.
Perhaps I'm just repeating what has already been said, but why would a
cult succeed better than a more widely visible thread that has only
moderate activity?
By all means go for it, but a thread operates the same way, rather than a
circle jerk of like 5 people posting their gopro edits to the same 5
people. In my mind, at least the thread has the ability to showcase
attributes of snoquamlie (usually bad) to others who might not give two
shits.
And how the fuck would it lead to more comps? Your logic sucks ass. The
reason why comps died revolves around two factors: no bloody skiers
showed up, and those who really have the leverage to host comps are
pro-board/snowskate, and are ambivalent towards skiers. Telling the same
5 people there is a comp aint gonna do shit. Broadcasting it to all in
WA (or the region) will, especially if the comp has any merit, see Pretzels for an example of success.
