Just to clarify, I don't only (or even mostly) care about referrals or any metric that might somehow correlate with sales. I'd be plenty satisfied with engagement. For an example of that, see this.
I wish that I had an answer for you. My sense is that people at B&B don't participate in the vendor section as much as people in other fora do. I don't think that it's a situation that's specific to Paladin, but just how things are generally. I have no clue why that's the case, but that's been my observation.
I'd say look at the B/S/T and that will kinda tell you who is on what site. Some of the other forums you mentioned tend to movie higher end products between members so they are probably more experience shavers with a higher disposable income. Maybe there are more novices here. Less posts on those forums too so that would tell me that there are more people learning here asking more questions.
My 2 cents
I tend to view and post about shaving brushes in the Shaving Brush forum. That is where I first heard about Paladin. I think most of the members here use that forum for discussing shaving brush purchases.
I check out the Vendor forum for the new release information.
It is unfortunate that vendors are limited in posting in the shaving forums. If vendors are gauging the popularity or promotion of their products only by what is said in the vendor section, they may come away thinking their is not much enthusiasm for their products based on the limited discussions here.Thanks for the reply. I completely understand that. I'm sure you know this, but shaving brush "vendors" aren't allowed to post freely in the Shaving Brushes forum. The lines are fuzzy enough that I steer just about entirely clear of brush discussions anywhere but here in our vendor's section.

Also, how does Shopify get the referral stats? Because I have never been asked how I was referred to your site or any vendor site.
Very nice, Ken.
Just what I need, more temptation.
