The Forum - Three Years On

[bagley920]

Totally agree. I know I haven't been here that long compared to most folks but this place seems more like a family than a forum and that's what I love. More totally genuine people on here that I may never meet than I will probably come across in a year in real life. Love being here and look forward to staying for a very long time.

Thanks for allowing an open discussion of the products, especially when it conflicts with your financial interests.  I don't know any other companies that would allow such a thing.

Giles, know that we all appreciate what you've done by having this forum so much. I think I can speak for everyone when I say that this is what truly makes Iron Heart different from any other company.

actually Gave said it all…

like him I also am a member of a few different forums, but this is the place I always log-in first when starting my day -
while enjoying a nice little breakfast and a cup of coffee - and the place I always leave the latest, before falling into bed!
i just love this place and all the people that are here with me...in my opinion it can't get any better than this and that's the way it actually should be.

we all show alot of respect for each and everyone around here and that's the way it should be...even when guys have the feeling that they just took a serious beating, but they always should remember, that the feedback is always ment in a positive kinda way, since we all want you to look even better

I was also able to meet a bunch of guys in person already and all I can say is that the impression I had, knowing them just from the forum and all, was just the beginning of what their personalities are in real life...great great guys and girls!

thanks to everyone for making this that special place it is today...keep up the good work y'all, big H, G and P, the mod squad and all the other forum members (new and old)...you guys fekking rock

Sorry I'm new here but this place is pretty cool.

But really: we shall uproot the negative trend and feed it beer until it bursts out in laughter!..

[hectic]

Beer feeding for all!

Thanks everyone.

Let me be the first to welcome you to the forum, Seul!  We hope you'll stick around and make some contributions.  Useful contributions, if possible…:D

[Seul]

No dice…

[Chris]

Ah well, worth a try, right?;)

I've been here since November 2009 and have witnessed the forum expand and EXPLODE… But not just that... The amount of products sold by IH and made by IH also has skyrocketed… Just look at all the stuff coming out in A/W 2k13!.. The Triple Works label churning out amazing stuff!.. Compared to the catalogue in 2k08 and 2k09, well quite frankly the evolution is mindblowing.

I'm just really stoked on being a part of this all.

Thank you G for putting this forum on the web. I go on this all the time. Love meeting new people from all over the world.  The Iron Heart meet ups are the best. Will see a lot of you Iron Heart people in NY Oct 20 2012.

@Giles:

. . .  Recently, there has been a somewhat negative trend creep into the Forum:  we have prided ourselves on the Iron Heart Forum being a fun and friendly place, we josh and joke and rib each other, give praise, encouragement and advice.  Of course not everyone will have the same opinions and tastes, so agreeing to differ and offering constructive criticism in a respectful manner is fine.  However, petty sniping, personal vendettas and downright nastiness is unacceptable.  Apart from the drain on my and the other mods’ time and emotions, I don’t want new or existing members to think this is normal and acceptable behaviour on our Iron Heart Forum.

So true & apologies to all that have been in my cross-hairs as I am brutally honest to all in the public forum or behind PMs. I can not & will not pretend it was all constructive criticism, instead I'll say thanks for putting up with me (those that do) or putting me on their ignore list. Growing pains are normal & I'm glad the issues are being addressed as opposed to acting like nothing is going on.  Hopeful this is just a small blip on a road paved with much more success & this place continues to be an incubator of sorts for not just great products & ideas, but also for a new way for companies to reach & communicate with customers. I don't know . . . you never know you are making history while you are doing it.  I have a feeling in a few years a lot of people will be peeking over here to see what the Padamores & this place was/is up to as this world becomes smaller & smaller.

may all your ups & downs happen between the sheets.

still monday

Admirable post.

However, I can't shake the feeling that I missed something…

might be a sig worth having

[Giles]

Nothing went on.  Paula and I just felt there was some negativeness creeping in, that we will not tolerate….
