I totally agree with Ben here. That is no IHUK Forum problem but a problem for many denim forums. MyNudies is completely dead. Sufu has ups and downs. But more downs lately. IndigoRoots is dead. DC4 tried to have a forum but it took a nosedive pretty quick.
IHUK and Denimbro are the ones that still do pretty well in comparison.Maybe (just like MaxPower said) it’s because of the smartphone-era where you just take a short glimpse but don’t comment. Or you use IG where you post pics but you can’t get a fucking discussion going there as you don’t have really a “room” (like a thread) to discuss it.
Reddit seems to be pretty active and big but it’s just so confusing to browse and find threads and get a straight discussion going (or I am just too old).About the honesty of criticism: back in 2010 when I joined the WAYWT-thread of the IHUK was one of the most awful ones and still most of the times there was a lot of ass-kissing and wrongful compliments (I think only the Fedora Lounge can undercut that
). Of course there were also a lot of exceptions with great, great posts where people dressed extremely well. I really think that changed to the better in the last years. Of course everything in my opinion: the WAYWT got way better so there wasn’t a need for harsh and honest criticism lately.
Of course, the WAYWT is only a small aspect of the whole thing. -
Forum's getting too PC: kick out all ze bloody Germans and let's carry on.
PS: zis is a joke.
I always enjoy your posts Seul. You stupid bloody Belgian bastid. Trying to strike a balance there.

in context to Urbs post, a thing to consider, when people describe you 50% of a picture they have seen from their point of view, you will in the end have hardly a idea how the whole thing looks like… no easy calls were ever made... as Giles already said.
also the mods are not here to entertain you guys all the time, all of you have the power to start threads and work on ideas, have a look on the stuff Gav set up and that faded into.... since the people that where up for it, didn't feel like taking care after a few days / weeks....

I don't have much room to speak up on this topic since I fade in & out of the forum like a fart in the wind half the time. . .
but,
It does seem like everyone could loosen up a bit. We're a bunch of damn weirdos on an internet forum; sometimes you guys need to realize that and let your freak flags fly a bit more.
Also, people could stop bitching and moaning about bitching and moaning in half the threads on here and either throw a strong opinion out or laugh that shit off and move on.
With love,

JThis I like!
I'm also not as frequent a poster as I'd wish to be, and have been on here for around 4 years, however one of the main reasons I stuck around was the straightforward, but considered, opinions that people were willing to share and discuss. I hadn't noticed the WAYWT compliment thing as a trend, but recognise that there has been very little constructive criticism.
I'd hazard a guess that there are others similar to me who've been content to take a backseat and that if we could participate more we would help revitalise the forum.

This is the only forum that I spend much time on at all (although not that much). And I generally like it for the congenial, non-combative vibe. If someone asks for an opinion in the WAYWT thread, then they usually get them. If not then they don't. Seems to work pretty well to me.

I agree with fuzz ^. One of the things I like about the forum is that it isn't usually a combative or otherwise toxic environment. I like to joke around a bit, but I usually shy away from forums cause everyone's so harsh to each other. Haven't been around long enough to add much to the discussion on now vs. then–but I still like what's happening here. But, I'm a girl, and besides that, a big softy--so I tend to keep it light IRL as well as online.

I like you sabergirl
(Ya big softy!..)Also: y'all want (+ and -) comment in the WAYWT thread, but truth be told, a lot of you would feel attacked personally and react in either a passive aggressive way, or in an immature way. This is what causes most issues on this board, and the reason the forum's in this state, is cause of the backlash of all that… People tip-toeing around...
