      Mega,

      Believe me when I say I understand. All I am saying is if there's an issue come to me, otherwise I can't fix it. Randomly complaining in ear shot of someone is only going to add tension.

        How about a change of topic?

        I'd say a good chunk of the 'fits' posted are too tight. Sure, they look trim and neat the first few months… but we seem to forget darker colors are slimming. As the jeans begin to fade (and shrink a small amount with subsequent washes), they end up looking fairly awful.

        Makes me laugh every time an prime example is posted and there are numerous replies on how the fit looks great.

          I'd like to address a couple of points, then I'll happily move on to a new topic…

          @Seth:

          Yeah, similarly, I am irritated by the idea that post count means anything at all. If we have labels like "deity", it should be for expertise, experience, and insight rather than hundreds of "Nice fit!" posts.

          The "rankings" have no actual meaning, they're just there as a fun marker.  Maybe a year or so ago, we discussed changing them, making them more random, or eliminating them entirely.  In the end, we just left them alone because people like them more than they dislike them.

          As for the post count, we removed that info from the profiles and replaced it with join date.  There was considerable discussion among members about which was a "better" statistic to use, and we made the final decision after allowing a vote on the subject.  As I recall, one member felt so strongly about the profiles having post count in them that he deleted his account when we made the change.  Neither is a good marker of expertise or insight, really.

          @Megatron1505:

          To the older posters I would say please remember Sal (Dirty Denim), no-one posted as often as him and with as much enthusiasm and he was one of the nicest most genuine dudes it has ever been my pleasure to meet…..I miss Sal and some of the other dudes who no longer visit, but things move on.....

          Yeah, I miss Sal, too.

              will all of you bastards stop agreeing with unpopular opinions.

              i like the new whipper-snappers all eager to post.  it reminds me of when i 1st started having sex on a regular basis & figured out it's something better done with another person or with someone you are not paying in a seedy part of town. we all find our pace & fall into a sweet spot soon enough (except for mcclain that dude can post . . .  j/k i swear, sort of) everything is better with crowd participation . . . well except solitaire.

              i've spoken to several earlier forum joiners that state they don't post as much or visit because they don't get the same vibe as when they joined & i get that (& agree), but everything changes be it for better or worse & despite what we think of the current state of affairs this thing should keep growing & changing just like all of us.  i mean jeez none of us are the same as when this started . . . except seul.  i think he cures himself in spirits & then posts here

              be good to each other forum fam-lay aka a bunch of strangers in jap denim, hahahahahhaha

                      Is this the unpopular opinion thread?  Yes?  Good.

                      Tough fucking shit that nature of the forum changes over time.  If you don't like the inevitable, wash the sand out of your vaginas and go some place else.

                      That's what happens with everything,  It is an uncontrollable inevitability and if me and the Mod Squad did try and artificially fix this place in aspic, then we'd rightly get a serious amount of shit.

                                          Actually, what I was saying was that they would need to wash the sand out of their vaginas if they are to continue enjoying this forum. Whiney, sandy vaginas need to go somewhere else
