How much of an influence do you think Ball Reviews members have on the popularity of a particular bowling ball thru out the country?  

For example, the Black Widow Solid became a very popular ball on these forums when it first came out and eventually became popular all over the country.

The Blue Vibe has been around for a while and is now being discontinued.  The popularity of the Blue Vibe on the Hammer forum has been growing over the last couple months and now i'm seeing more of them in bowlers hands.

I'm just curious how much of an influence you guys think this site has on the popularity of a particular bowling ball?
