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...

I have been on the forums since 2011 when I took the big dive into Japanese denim, etc. I've always seen this forum as G & P's house and that we are all visitors. I think that there is a responsibility to be good guests including poignant discussion, authenticity, and some semblance of good behavior. As with any message board, opinions are what make the world go around. However, I don't think that needs to be a brash amount of unnecessary critique or inflammatory posting to make this place anymore interesting. I very much enjoy my time on this forum even when I can only check the forums for a few minutes on break. I have learned a lot about clothing, fit, history, culture, and mostly how quickly a paycheck can be spent.

Clearly my point has been misconstrued. The whole critique point was merely trying to get people to stop and actually think instead of just regurgitating fodder.

Jeff,
I edited my post because I don't feel like I did a great job of conveying the way I feel about this place and your thoughts. I like your original post as it's very honest, accurate, and from the heart. If every post here were as well thought out, we'd have a hell of a forum. I don't disagree in the least and have said above that it's our responsibility to keep this place interesting with poignant discussion. I admit, I've made blanket statements in the WAYWT threads. I guess I never saw it as damaging, but I can see how it makes us lazy posters. I think I speak for a lot of people in that I'm going to work on upping my forum game. -
I wouldn't mistake silence for approval. Perhaps it makes me a bad forum member, but I usually don't say anything if I disapprove of a fit. We all know how to dress ourselves I hope.

Part of my way as well. Either that or if I don't have the capacity to articulate clearly (or at least enough to be pointed), I won't say it at all.

My 2 cents:
People come, people go, only the diehards remain, that´s something you can´t change and I don´t wanna change. If someone thinks the IHF lost personality because some members moved on or some members are banned, that´s bullshit. You are still a part of it, you´ll get out what you put in.When I see a outfit I don´t like, I don´t say it because it´s up to the dude who wears the stuff. Different styles, different ideas, we are all adults or grown ups and we know what we do. If you don´t like it, do it better. But it´s tricky, because feedback can be something very positive.
Maybe it´s the "language barrier", in school we learned to speak a very polite english. The community is growing, we have members from all around the world (even from "countries" like Belgium…), when most of the dudes just know words like epic, awesome and other freakin adjectives for nice or great, it´s normal that you don´t see "negative adjectives".
I don´t think it´s a bad thing.But yeah, let´s improve some things, just like the competition thread, I would love to see another world-tour, and maybe try to post some more constructive criticism.
I love the IHF, made good friends, met great people, read tons of nice stuff, learned a lot about denim, fabrics and so on.
Can´t stop, won´t stop, IHFFIH!
