I went to Alexa and check the traffic pattern of kiteforum.com
http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/kiteforum.com?q= and
notice that the current traffic is on the downward trend. The peak was
in 2006/2007.

Kitesurfing is now a mature sport so people is more interested in local
events as opposed to world wide events.
