Am I the only one that's actually sad this board is dead? How many people are left? I've been here since 2012 everyday and I saw this place fall. This is potentially the funniest board cuz of how much of assholes we are and now it's dead.

Nah not even streetwear. I think it was us realising that the "goofnigga" we used to mock was now the accepted norm of current fashion and blowing our collective brains out.

what killed it in your opinion then :)

>> No.12037810

The thing that killed this board was when the majority of fashion focused posters eventually were replaced with insecure people that take the board too seriously. Being 'effay' was a small piece of satire amongst legitimate advice and discussion that kept the board light-hearted. Now people either push that satire too far by shit posting or take it as serious advice. Face rate threads, 'effay' music threads, cringe threads etc are purely for self validation between people who are insecure and think dressing in certain brands will fix this or make them superior to others. That's all /fa/ is at the moment, the majority of threads that make an effort to discuss fashion get very little attention compared to others. Comments are full of buzz words like cuck and shill and contribute nothing but further degradation of the board.

she is definitely thicc and curvy. not the tumblr definition, of course. knowing that animal thigh tattoos are a 98 percent chance that she is an Instagram "model". and with that in mind she undoubtedly has "booking info" in the bio. you could ask how much to for a "photo shoot" and have the opportunity to have sex with her. note: you could haggle to bring the price down, she'll try to up sell you, don't fall for it. ankther note: it will be expensive depending on the girl since higher the follower count, higher the booking price will be. alternatively if you want a similar kind of girl you could always save your money and check out the Backpages. for more information on Instagram "models" check out tagthesponser (.) com. women will literally film themselves dookey on plates for Arabs. good luck anon, I hope that helps!

It's the fucking faggots from /pol/ that ruined this place. NOT STREETWEAR or any fucking trend. They started spilling over around 2015 and made this place a shithole. Think about it, these ugly and annoying edgelords spilling over to a board that WAS filled with normalish people, driving them away. They knew nothing about fashion and still know nothing about fashion. All they do is sit at their computers all day calling people niggers and hate on things that have become popular (ex common projects). Just browse a facial aesthetics thread and tell me you can't pick out who are the spill overs. I left for a year and nothing has changed.

as a further tangent, i believe the only way to overhaul a community like this is if there were more active projects of interests going on
as in more groups of individuals producing OC that isn't just fit pics, more infographics being made, a sense of hierarchy as horrible that sounds as there needs to be people to look up to for genuine and effective advice, etc.

Too many poorfag underage people these days desu. /fa/ used to be a niche board for nerds with disposable income who didn't want to be like mfa. Now it's somehow become a high school cafeteria where people talk about how their mom took them to the factory outlet and they found a pair of red roshes for cheap.

You know it's bad when people are hating on Lemaire and Our Legacy and saying to just go to uniqlo or H&M for everything. I've seen many threads where some faggot high schooler starts screaming because somebody suggests maybe spending more than 100 dollars on a pair of shoes it's unreal. Like sure if you can't afford it then that's fine but don't put down other people who can ffs

God is the most active fashion community really on 4chan
I mean do other ones count?
Fashion for normies is just try Burch and March Jacobs with some Louis Vuittons
Yeezys are the closest to streetwear they will ever reach
I like these kinds of fashion communities and rn i only have r/streetwear r/malefashion and effay and effay is dying
We need a GroupMe or discord or something
Groupme is better tho

yes these semi-anonymous sites are too easy to use and are killing forums cause you have to put more effort into forums, not only to find them but to create something useful that people will actually care about, while on a site like instagram you just need to take (or find) a nice picture or whatever, no need to present an interesting viewpoint or idea etc. and ppl just use that instead to feel social or like they have interests in common.

by semi-anonymous I mean you don't really have any reason to present your real beliefs or ideas cause you're always just looking for followers or likes or whatever, so you're more of a concept or a style meant for other people to like rather than an actual human being with a complex personality.

reddit is especially weird cause you can be reading a thread and two comments saying basically the same thing have completely different amount of votes and it's just chaos. it's as if individual comments "catch on" by some magic and get tons of votes for no logical reason while others are ignored.

Been here on and off since 2012, slowly I've become less active and less concerned with fashion. Most of the time I wear slp now, I don't consider myself to be some sort of fashion God, really it's just because I like it and I'm a skinny bastard.

I still get some enjoyment from coming here and talking to people every so often, though. This place has always been a hotbed of narcissism and the average poster probably isn't mentally well desu, but I still like it.

I started coming to /fa/ in either 2009 or 2010 and I tell you what, it was way funnier. You didn't have people who were so aware of the board culture, and the shit that has become the 'thing' about the board have all become too often regurgitated memes. 4chan as a whole has sucked since after the Jessi Slaughter fiasco and being seen as the meme factory it was. Because around that time it was just coming off of the personal army, raids, and anonymous bullshit and some bad controversy. Too many kids were coming here looking to be associated with edginess but a lot of others hated that image and were anti-anonymous and script kiddie bullshit rightly.

Can you believe there was a time where people unironically posted image macros like advice animals and hipster cat and all that shit?

The best thing to do us to purge a board culture anyway and start the shit over from square one. Too
much 'we know whats up now so lets spam this goofy shit all day'

I liked the board more in 2013 when I came here, but it's not all that bad.
There are too many threads in my opinion. That's why the quality ones get easily lost in the influx of bait threads. And I do love fa's sense of humor but boy do people get baited. Especially in the waywt threads. When there's like 10 posters with horrible fits and we just somehow keep the thread alive... When there's 5 bad fits in a row is when we should just stop and not reply until someone posts a good fit. I still like the inspo threads and now and then i stumble upon a waywt with really good fits... Nothing special, a lot of meme, but it's good. The face rate thread... We've all been there. It should be put in the sticky, something about that.
I miss the better posters but I think in 2013 it was pretty bad already.

I started browsing this board in late 2014. Although I'm not as old as some of you on here, I was incessantly browsing /fa/ early 2015. Then, my interest started dropping and it seems like I wasn't the only one. I only check here once in a while now, if I get really sick of my wardrobe.

Honestly, it would be nice if we had a few other dedicated threads instead of the boring WAYWT (which I don't look at anymore) or the face r8 threads (meh), or general w2c whatever. Personally, I am poor as fuck so it'd be nice if we talked about good deals and cheap shit on here and scheme along those lines. I'd be all for that. Some like /poorfag/ general shit.
