Forum Suggestions?

I think the current system works best, let people get their gripes and idiocy out in public, bitch it out like school girls, then mop up after.

And as Doug pointed out earlier, no one will read the thread anyway. It can be the most useful thing ever made, stickied on every page and done in flashing, 20 point bold font, and we'll still get weekly questions like, "I wear a size 36 in Levis, what size should I get in Iron Heart?"
I'm not bitter or bitching; it's simply a fact of human nature and the way forums work.

People are stupid, FACT.

If you have a consolidated thread to sell multiple items, please remove the items that have been sold from the thread title, it's a little irritating to keep coming back to a thread only to be reminded that the item has been sold already … Cheers.

If you want to check a thread with upcoming releases without the clutter of responses see here (is in need of updating still):

Gilles, mods, other people in high places,
I'd like a thread/section devoted to polls or questions relating to the brand and products. I don't mean a quiz, but more like 'multiple choice' questions that could help shape future products and decisions (although some could just be for fun as well).
In the past there have been a few of these, such as what arc colour the 555s should have, and what your favourite IH denim is.
People enjoy being able to participate in this wAy, and its always interesting to see the relative popularity of various options.
This thought came to me while debating the leather triangle on the Vulcans, as it would be interesting to know whether the majority favoured this or not. Other possible questions that spring to mind are "what colour hardware do you prefer on IH jeans? (Silver/antique)" and "what rise do you prefer? (Low/medium/high)". The questions could be very specific, or quite general.

R&R….
This is a difficult one. We have a thread for suggestions/ideas, which people could use for this sort of thing and if they did, I would not veto it. We really do try and be open and do not try to over-moderate.
But the essence of the direction Iron Heart goes in, has to be vested in Haraki, if we get too much input there are 2 possible outcomes.
- We ignore it because it dilutes what IH is and we piss you guys off
- We do what you suggest/vote for and we no longer have Haraki's DNA running through the products.
I have a lot of input into what we do, but sometimes Haraki simply refuses. I understand and accept that. This is his brand and whilst I know a lot more about Western customers and what they want than he does, there are some things he will not countenance.
Also we ask 100 people what they want we'll get at least 101 different suggestions.
Keep popping ideas up, we love that - and the ones that Haraki likes he uses.

Ain't that the truth!
The 'Suggestions' thread is a good one, and adds an element ( or perceived element
) of democracy to the whole thing. I guess for me - coming from a scientific background - I just like seeing things quantified! I dig stats.
