If we take the clothing out of the equation,,friendship is all that will be left,,lifestyle should not matter,,colour ,,,race ,,creed,,all them words should not matter.This forum is a home for many,,a drop in centre,,especially when the fuck up fairy has visited,,dont often get on a soapbox .
Everybody has opinions,,some good ,,some bad,,but we are all individuals,,we can all walk,talk,chew gum at the same time,,,,,,,,,,but the roots are important,,without em,,we are F.U.B.A.R.,,means a lot to me this place,,aint really got fekk all to do with jeans/shirts anymore,,it can be saved,, -
Shall I start a specific thread so that this does not get lost in the depths of "Random Rants"?
best had my good man,

FWIW the "if you don't like it don't post" ethos has what has prevented me from becoming a more active member. I absolutely love the gear but to me at least half it looks pretty bad most of the time on here. If I hadn't been called out countless times on my home turf (fuk) over the last decade then I think it's pretty safe to say I would be worse off for it and would be squeezing into stuff a size too small for me and generally getting it wrong (still will be to some but that's life).

I think you misinterpreted what I meant by that. Personally I embrace constructive criticism, I was not trying to say "if you do not like someones look/gear/outfit shut the fuck up". I WAS trying to say, if you do not like this place, then don't come in here and bitch, go somewhere else….

You think up a snappy title and G will do it

Well said @derivative666.
I haven't been a regular on here that long but there is a feel of everyone tip toeing around not wanting to offend anyone. Or maybe people feel if they speak out they feel they are somehow offending Giles/Ironheart through saying a piece of clothing looks shit on someone.
The WAYWT thread is great on one hand because loads of people contribute, but on the other bad because there is hardly any input into peoples choice of outfit. All you get is the standard "everyone looking good today". Fuck that! not everyone looks good. Anyone can dress head to toe in decent gear but that doesn't mean it looks good.

Right,,big thanks to D666 for firing this up in Random Rants,,,and to G-san for the permission,..The forum needs to be brought back to life,,,the roots,,the friendship,,,bollocks to the clothes(sorry G)thoughts,views/opinions,,,,,good or bad,,now you can all voice em,,,

I've been a member here for 4 years I think - albeit a relatively quiet member, but a forum will always go through cycles. Like Ruben/spitfire, home turf is fuk - that places changes every flipping few weeks - sometimes for good, sometimes for bad. The one thing I will repeat is that criticism is good - good for peoples' personal style.

Mojo back,,,worth a shot,how about having a sort of Skype type night,,one night where we all hook up online and chat /gossip/bitch//etc…......
-
The most important thing is talking,,use yer inbox to its fullest,,saying hello can often work wonders,,,then again so can sunshine,,a full tank of juice and open roads,,
-
This place needs some kinda realtime chat-room,,bandwidth hungry but just a random thought

I much agree with Nem, and actually did just what he suggested and gave him an occasion to check his inbox. Was very glad to hear from you after some time, Nem!
My five pennies on this: I also see a degree of superficiality, or elitism as Nem might put it. But I see great substance, great quality here, and for once I don't refer to the denim, but the people. Being aware of wrong tendencies, discussing them openly and of course not deleting a post like D666's is the first right step.
This forum does mean something to me, and I'm determined to make my small contribution to keep it not merely alive, but also keep up its standard. I have just, as of yesterday, made a fresh contact here over a trade that tastes of fast friendship, and that's a beautiful thing.
So let's not see doom and gloom, but do acknowledge where there is a false direction, and fekking (yes, Nem) do something about it. -
It just needs to feel free.
People need to feel free to say what they like. I don't mean cunting people off for the sake of it. But say what you like and have a laugh with it.

Cheers 501,,we need people to throw away all their preconceived thoughts and viewpoints,,start afresh.The world is a shitty place for a lot of folks,,build on the strong roots we got,,its never really gone away,,,its just hiding
