Forums as a whole are largely considered "old news" in internet terms. An old-boys club in many ways.
Traffic on SSP has declined massively since I joined in 2010. Outside of the Canada section the rest of the website is actually pretty quiet, with a lot of the traffic shifting to local websites for individual cities (UT, MTLurb, WaterlooRegionConnected, etc.).
SSC was a decent option, but since that Toronto-based company bought it a few years ago and converted it to the more modern forum software, it's been a nightmare to navigate. It should be a more reliable site long-term however as it is corporately owned. I rarely visited it before the buyout, but have stopped completely since.
In reality, if SSP disappears, I'll likely end up posting only on UrbanToronto.
