Interesting.....so what you're saying is Scott. ...its Tones fault cause everyone thinks he's a cunt and won't answer him. A bit harsh that but the truth often is. ....... Tbh it went down hill from the moment he became Tone and ditched GTBI. Terrible move.
My take on it? The smart phone is a legit call as it's easy to read but a Bollox typing on them. My interest in clobber has waned in the world where a run of the mill shirt is now about 150 rrp . Its Bollox. Most of my posts tend to be CHELSEA related.
Sorted that for ya!
Saw this, and thought of you................
In fairness I went easy on ya. Didn't wanna kick a man when he's down

I've not been on for ages however I wasn't ever a prolific poster before that.
Guess for me there was always something tempting me to spend my money on and my eyes are always bigger than my wallet. So knocking the forums on the head for a bit is always good for the bank balance.
Been trying to spend more time doing photography too so I've naturally spent more time browsing different forums.
Yup its been a bit slow recently but is still a good forumn and ive learned a lot on here over the years.... good lads that run it both with jobs not promoting any products from their own business on forumn like other types of forumns do....Don't know what the lads do for a living........ but by the early morning 5am posts Tone makes I have him down as a Eddie Yates type old school and humble dust bin removal technician ???

All the car forums i frequent have slowed down too. I put it down to facebook and Instagram both are much easier to upload pics to so people get the attention they seek faster.

Your right though, social media has been an arch enemy of forums for a while now.
[quote=Thesaint|p269429]Personally i think it a combination of things...Ja did do alot of damage, peoples lives move on they come and go, trouble being those that have replaced them don't contribute, i'm busy myself at the moment and struggle to contribute as much as i'd like. One could argue the scene is alittle stale at the moment...I do notice alot of people have joined and have never contributed either in posting are actually logging on, maybe a cull required there. Also how about a collection sub forum, found Pauls jacket ( not jaiket P ) thread interesting, although IIRC when we had one of those someone posted a collection of dildo's...but atleast it adds a bit of interest?
Pretty much sums it up for me M.
As a few have said there's basically the same core group of posters. It can get very slow at times but I'm sure its not just here. I don't get on as much as I would like and can easily go a few days without popping on. Difficult to know what can be done to liven it up a bit but it would be a shame if it petered out.
I think it's a combination of what Marcus, Glenn and Getkettleon said.
I can't remember the last time I properly looked at any clothing websites and when I did it was the same kind of gear as in previous seasons at ever more ridiculous prices. Not interested in the slightest tbh.
The titty thread has been a welcome addition though
the titty thread was a master stroke,i for one was very interested in the content of that,and considering my other half is away in spain till monday i may well be giving it a bit more of my time,just to pass the time til my wonderful lady returns home of course!!
I would not say the forum is dead just because there is not as many post/comments etc. I think the forum still gets lots of people browsing, getting ideas etc. They just don't want to get too involved in the community.
wondered why all the shit threads appeared this thread kick start it !!!!!
Clothes wise I am not arsed about spending a fortune on stuff anymore ,sold loads of stuff ,couldn't see the point of owning shit loads of hardly worn expensive clothes .Buy hardly owt compared to a few years back and not overly interested in the stuff around today .... Still enjoy the forum tho ,always have a mooch abart .Has been a slow paced forum for ages but still worth while IMO ..
Agree, clothes wise there seems to be fuck all to get excited about, seems pretty stale right now, same look everywhere .. A bomber adorned with a cravat may well be the way forward ..
