That needs 2 be taken down D666. That isn't a rant, it's bromance in it's purest form hahahahaha.
Yous a romantic D666, all things change & with the more perspective we have it's hard to catch that lightening in a bottle from a few years back. I've seen a few folks come & go for various reasons, but I understand it's the nature of all things. The IHUK forum has plenty of great members who post on a consistent basis that have distinct personalities (imho) & you have to admit things will never be "the same". The days of dudes coming on the forum giving away goods just because they actually like other forum members or sharing mundane parts of their lives cause it's a bunch of folks though thousands of miles apart can actually relate to your everyday plight is kind of over.
G said it best, "If you don't like it, don't post. Simple as that". I've come to the point where I take heed to that statement.
Yous a big ol softee, I will now call you Mr. Softee aka soft-D666
hahahahaha
did anybody see the mad turkeys attacking folks? Can you imagine explaining you got attacked by a pack of turkeys? or is it a flock?
hahahahaha
happy thanksgiving to folks stateside & folks abroad happy end of year . . . . if it's not end of year to you then just happy damn-it. Celebrating the introduction of small pox & the killing off of indigenous people in North America with cranberry sauce, smh

Kinda like what you said D666,,the past was always better and more innovative,,aint no rant really,,just well chosen words,,regards Gareth

^^^your not helping my cause this is not a bromance and the whole you don't like it, don't post does not sit well with me. That's just admitting defeat.
-
OK here goes,,hats off to Derivative666 for voicing a heartfelt opinion.I am with him every step of the way,,this forum has lost its edge/sparkle/vavavoom for sometime.Dont be scared of saying that shirt looks off,,or them jeans dont really suit yer bodyframe,,as long as the words are constructed carefully.
Been a member here for who knows how long,,on and off,,and I stopped posting,,simply beacause the edge had/has gone.Good friends on here,,good banter,,get it back to where it was,,cant always look back ,,, -
I have no problems with your views whatsoever D666. I do not admit defeat, but I do accept that things change as time goes by. Does that mean I don't hanker for the old days, no of course it does not. But I/we have tried a few things and they have not worked.
I've said this loads of times, this is a community, I can't change it on my own, it needs input from all.
What I have never said before (because I did not feel it necessary) is that I have always seen myself and the mod squad as facilitators, it to a great extent is what each and every member puts in that makes the place.
Just deciding not to post because the place has changed is a cop out. You get out of things what you put in.

The friendship and roots of this forum need to be dragged back,,kicking and screaming if need be,,strip the forum back to barebones,,there are enough people still left on here with a pulse
-
Please guys listen to @nemesisnow1200 this dude is OG, for fucks sake he was raised by wolves! He has important things to say!
-
If we take the clothing out of the equation,,friendship is all that will be left,,lifestyle should not matter,,colour ,,,race ,,creed,,all them words should not matter.This forum is a home for many,,a drop in centre,,especially when the fuck up fairy has visited,,dont often get on a soapbox .
Everybody has opinions,,some good ,,some bad,,but we are all individuals,,we can all walk,talk,chew gum at the same time,,,,,,,,,,but the roots are important,,without em,,we are F.U.B.A.R.,,means a lot to me this place,,aint really got fekk all to do with jeans/shirts anymore,,it can be saved,, -
Shall I start a specific thread so that this does not get lost in the depths of "Random Rants"?
best had my good man,

FWIW the "if you don't like it don't post" ethos has what has prevented me from becoming a more active member. I absolutely love the gear but to me at least half it looks pretty bad most of the time on here. If I hadn't been called out countless times on my home turf (fuk) over the last decade then I think it's pretty safe to say I would be worse off for it and would be squeezing into stuff a size too small for me and generally getting it wrong (still will be to some but that's life).

I think you misinterpreted what I meant by that. Personally I embrace constructive criticism, I was not trying to say "if you do not like someones look/gear/outfit shut the fuck up". I WAS trying to say, if you do not like this place, then don't come in here and bitch, go somewhere else….

You think up a snappy title and G will do it

Well said @derivative666.
I haven't been a regular on here that long but there is a feel of everyone tip toeing around not wanting to offend anyone. Or maybe people feel if they speak out they feel they are somehow offending Giles/Ironheart through saying a piece of clothing looks shit on someone.
The WAYWT thread is great on one hand because loads of people contribute, but on the other bad because there is hardly any input into peoples choice of outfit. All you get is the standard "everyone looking good today". Fuck that! not everyone looks good. Anyone can dress head to toe in decent gear but that doesn't mean it looks good.

Right,,big thanks to D666 for firing this up in Random Rants,,,and to G-san for the permission,..The forum needs to be brought back to life,,,the roots,,the friendship,,,bollocks to the clothes(sorry G)thoughts,views/opinions,,,,,good or bad,,now you can all voice em,,,

I've been a member here for 4 years I think - albeit a relatively quiet member, but a forum will always go through cycles. Like Ruben/spitfire, home turf is fuk - that places changes every flipping few weeks - sometimes for good, sometimes for bad. The one thing I will repeat is that criticism is good - good for peoples' personal style.
