All groups have a home page that displays information about group events and includes news, noticeboard and other information. Group members can also use group-specific bulletin boards, chat rooms and group calendars, and add links and create group activities.

Sport Forums

SuuntoSports.com has its own forum for each Suunto sport. The basic features and functions are the same for all sport forums—sport-specific news, bulletin boards and chat rooms. Users can also suggest links to sports-related sites and tips regarding the sport and equipment to be published on the site, or publish their own travel reports.

Sport forums include presentations of the resorts that are related to the sport. Users can rank the resorts with comments and the results are published next to the resort information. A ranking list can also be created for other things—for example, where are the best diving sites, what group has most members, who has uploaded most logs, and so on.
