Why don't "they" make bx/softboot carving boards anymore??

I have an F2 Eliminator I grabbed off someone on the board. I've heard many good things about it, and I'm excited to pair it with the Malamute boots I scooped on eBay. They made a Diablo board as well which I thought was a narrower, perhaps more BX-ish version, but I don't see that any more. Did they change the name to Vantage I wonder?

Seems like vantage is the new name of the diablo, with titanal construction.

Why have Nitro, Volkl, Burton, and other "major" brands left the softboot carving scene? There are tons of boarders that never go into the park or pipe and there will be more when the park and pipe folks get older so why have softboot carving boards gone the way of the dodo as far as these companies are concerned? The limited hardboot brands I kind of understand.

Does anyone think that carving in softboots will ever be really popular? Will Burton ever make a Donek Razor type board?

If the Razor is close to what you're looking for but not quite, you might want to take a look in the vendor forum. We are offering a special this month on custom shaping. You can get exactly what you want and it won't pain your pocket book.
