Random questions to which you seek an answer

Thanks guys. Just emailed zip as he's close to me.

Another random question….. To those of you that are moderately active on this forum but not on others like sufu et al: why not?

[tatmantall]

Personally I don't have the time… I have a Sufu account, just really like the community here and since time is sparse I choose to keep my residence here.

[natehate]

i have a sufu account as well and no time for anything else
starting to explore chopcult a bit
i also didnt much like the lay out of sufu last time i looked

This forum has a very homey feel to it. The trolls seem non existent here too… and the Admin actually types to welcome you.

This is home

Honestly I don't have time or interest, though I occasionally will lurk on reddit.  Not really rawdenim though…

SuFu (well, Superdenim at least) is the greatest historical source of information an expertise on the denim scene anywhere on the internet (caveat - that is written in English). You will find more knowledge there than anywhere else.

As a trade off you will also find some appalling attitudes, lots of frustrating newbs talking about their kickstarter denim brands all using Cone Mills denim, and all manner of niche and clique incestuous behaviour. A couple of years ago Superdenim was truly great, but many of the old guard no longer use it frequently enough due to their own lives moving on, and the horrible software "upgrade" about a year ago which caused SuFu to be the single most unresponsive, slow website on the entire internet. This has lead to the quality of the daily input being diminished.

There are still plenty of good guys posting there, and if you don't stray outside of Superdenim (into the cursed Earth of frat boy humour that is found elsewhere on SuFu) then you will find using Superdenim a really positive experience. You just can't be too sensitive, and read before you post.

I have been lurking on DenimBros for a while now, and will sign up shortly. Their forum seems to be more mature, and their interests more diverse than other places I have checked out.

I'm looking for some input (Seul and Mega come to mind) because I am having trouble deciding.  Do you prefer it stuffed, or with the pasta?

[Max Power]

^^nothing more to add. Well, maybe that those who find Sufu (superdenim only) offending, either haven't logged in for two years or are overly sensitive. You get all the good parts regarding knowldege and diversity of brands together for the price of many noobs asking the same questions over and over again and people being honest about bad fits (not a bad thing, IMO).

Denimbro - I tried it, but back then it was the same three guys posing as miners in supspenders and cinchback jeans. Not really open to the style that gets love here, so I figure many of the IHF guys would not feel at home.

[Seul]

How do they grow their own cocks?.. I thought they were all bred in Mansfield?..

[Finn666]

ok ok ok…

i'm not a guy that does watch that much TV that a super badass TV would be needed for the new flat...

now my question:
should i still get a super badass TV (badass alone will do as well) or should i put my money into sth. like an iMac or whatever...that's handy enough for when i decide that it's time to watch some TV?

actually a TV is "needed"...even if it's just for the guests et all! :-\

[Max Power]

I got rid of my TV four years ago - never missed it a second. If you get a big Computer Screen, you will be fine. (Though I don't watch TV online neither, so I can't speak for the quality of the TV signal.)

[Finn666]

that's the plan, to go with a big screen for the computer…on the other hand though, i think the living room would be looking a bit empty no?!

and iirc i think i saw a TV in your recent pics of your crib?!

Re denimbro you are speaking about Mike Harris one of the legends in denim hunting together with his friends. In fact they are exploring mines and stuff. Thanx to guys like him lots of info is still around from a heritage point of view. Worth to check out for anybody interested.

[Max Power]

No, that's my screen. Big enough for watching DVD, great for looking a photographs and dirt cheap compared to a TV.

[MikeC]

Denimbro is cool but its only repro shit. It's also super cliquey. If your a newb (like myself), they just ignore your responses and questions.  They all hate on Iron Heart too.

[Giles]

I don't get this feckin hate thing.  There is no denim brand that I hate, there are some I don't like, some I would not be seen dead in, but none that I hate.  There is room for loads of different brands, and some are loved by some and some loved by others.  Hating stuff is petty, childish, tribal and immature.

[davito]

Why is repro shxx MikeC? Have a look at the Harris collection thread for example. Some impressive information in there.

[Max Power]

I know about Mike Harris. I read a lot about Vintage clothes and the history of denim. Still, not my style

[davito]

I did not write that you do not know about MH. I was just pointing it out for others not knowing it

[Max Power]

All good
