I wake up in the morning and read Heather Cox Richardson’s blog on Substack. Then I usually glance at Facebook and instagram, realize they both suck, and head to the IH forum. I will usually search for IH on eBay, Grailed, depop, marrkt, poshmark and the real real, but don’t spend any other time on those sites. I used to check them daily, but my closet is now ludicrously stuffed with more things than I wear, which is problematic.

Anybody ever go down a rabbit hole on the forum and come across a banned member’s profile and start clicking through their posts trying to figure out what the hell happened?
Sometimes you’ll find a post from like 2012 and then the next reply is somebody else in 2024 and you’re just sitting there wondering what happened in those 12 years. I guess I’ll never know…
Happy Mother’s Day to everybody’s mothers, and to the memory of the ones no longer here with us today
Edit: My apologies to the mothers on here too. Hope you’re all having a fantastic day.

@northsouthdenimguy I find it funnier when it's a banned member that started a thread
but yes I have lol.

@northsouthdenimguy often the things they were banned for was cleaned up. Doesn’t make much sense to have the posts that pushed the buttons left for future discussion.

I was just mentioning on another forum the other day how much I appreciate this place because generally it’s positive and there’s not a lot of BS.
That said… I’m not gonna lie, part of me is still curious what exactly somebody had to say to get banned around here.
Then again… maybe I really don’t want to know.

I agree with @northsouthdenimguy this place is really positive in my view, you get the odd person in a new release thread just asking a bunch of questions and having a fit they don't like the answer, but apart from that...
On other forums I use there's people that get banned for scamming within their sales sections... That's probably the worst of it, even though they require tagged pictures with date+username to prevent it from happening, it still happens sadly.

@goosehd said in Random conversations:
Although some have been banned for breaking the #1 cardinal rule: Don’t be an arsehole all of the time.
Now that asparagus (the white one) became a controversial issue on the forum, I need to be more careful with my posts... well at least I can say I've never been an areshole (here). But I remember I did get a couple of admonishments with political comments...

@chrisjohnnick
IH forum of course.
Reddit but it needs to be highly curated to your interests.
Fedora Lounge for their classifieds
Omega Forum for their classifieds as well vintage Omegas are a sickness -
There is famous car tuning meetup in Austria at lake Woerthersee. This guy drove 12.000 km with his Volkswagen from China to get there:
