SS has gotten sooo trendy. When I started riding SS there were only a handful of people on the band wagon, mostly people on Surly 1x1s. Trendy isn't a bad thing though, because now there are way more products available for SS than before.
While I love SS and it is all I ride, I also don't think there needs to be a sticky because I don't think of SS bikes as as separate from other mountain bikes. They are just one of the many options.
