What's the adult version of this board? How do you escape kids on the internet?

double chan has a Veeky Forums but it's shit
>I only come here for Veeky Forums
kek
if you weren't such a newfag cunt you'd know it's absolutely shit now

You missed the golden age of 2012 - early 2014

Now leave

I'm not even a new fag. I've been coming here for years. I just don't care about the rest of the site outside of a cursory glance here or there. I did spend a bit of time posting in /int/ but that got boring once /pol/ started leaking.

>double chan has a Veeky Forums but it's shit
huh, i guess i'll try to post there some time

ur pretty sad lol

so why don't you know how to post correctly?
stupid faggot
it's dead, they have about 2 new posts a day
go away ten year old

6/10 bait

(you)

>this is the guy you show your outfits off to in WAYWT's

>this is the guy that makes you feel insecure about your opinions

lmao

Unironically this

mfa has grown to become objectively much better than Veeky Forums, and the average population there is more mature as well

i'm not that guy because this is the first time i've posted here since 2015, when I realised this board was truly dead

I miss ASOS Cara

mfa lacks women and women's fashion. Yes I know it says so right in the name.

women can't organize, only act as parasites towards men, even on inane shit like Veeky Forums

Fpbp

Lol dad

Women get a containment thread or two on here, and /CGL/, which is the shittiest board, to the surprise of no one.

i bet ur mad organized and have lots to contribute

Veeky Forums about 5 years ago used to be a fully normal board, never great but the level of discourse was definitely higher. Veeky Forums’s problem is that in addition to being polluted by the red pill at this point, really carries a with it the full traditional Veeky Forums ethos ("smart" but socially inept white boys. The pathological Reddit bashing included.)

It's filled with 16-20 year top shelf neckbeards who criticize every brand and fit possible while wearing Vans and Uniqlo U.

I can't even figure Veeky Forums’s zeitgeist at this point. What does it even like? It seems like everything is just shitty or a meme except for Japanese fast fashion and lunarcore. Fucking puke.

Reddit fashion boards are actually unironically better than this dumpster fire.

>why don’t you know how to post correctly
>t. 12 year old whos been here for a year

Then what is the correct way to post because I’ve been on Veeky Forums since 2012 and I never knew that you had to post a certain way

>since 2012
>doesn't know how to post correctly despite every other post following a certain unofficial format
you're new
fuck off
i've been here since 08

B8

Its becuase the word fashion went out of fashion years before david bowie died.

It got married to design.
Now all the adults interested in fashion either follow design blogs to get inspiration and/or they watch all those fashion shows,designer battles etc... like makeup wars. Skin wars. Cake wars. Junyard wars. Storage wars.

>I’ve been on Veeky Forums since 2012 and I never knew that you had to post a certain way

It's a shitty meme. "reddit spacing" is just double spacing your sentences or paragraphs and using proper punctuation, which is not the "Veeky Forums way". There's not a correct way to post on this site, that user just wants attention.

Fashion is for children

Im guilty of reddit spaceing.

Its similar to high school newspaper writing. Where each paragraph is about two sentences on one idea which is usually only a "just the facts".

But this is the internet so each paragraph is really about "just the feels".

Unless its a dichotomy between shitposting/trolling and reddit posting. Which do seem to follow different guidelines to discourse.

>Mfw MLA and APA are replaced by reddit and Veeky Forums format.

well it's kinda annoying to read cause you have to shift focus again and again just cause you felt like pressing enter

a bunch

of times

The funny thing is that anyone shouting about reddit spacing is most likely a newfag themselves because people have been double spacing on this site forever and I've only started seeing complaints about double spacing earlier this year.

Its a fine line between reddit spacing and a tl;dr post.

Spotted the soygoy nog.

Unironically this. Double spacing has been around since m00t created this shithole of a website. Only rebbit faggots complain about it.

Lel this

Veeky Forums is mismanaged and left wing as fuck these days sold it to some Jap

And he runs the site like buzzfeed

This I've been double spacing since college, the reddit kids that came over once the site was "unblacklisted" from Hilary Clinton types they came over. Nowadays the funny shit is on .onion sites

askandyaboutclothes

This. Being female I still visit r/mfa because it's leagues better than r/femalefashionadvice, the fits are better (from an objective standpoint) and there's a lot less drama. There's more pictures as well because it's a bigger sub, and the threads are more interesting.

>left wing as fuck
Nice. I haven't noticed tho. It's just some liberals and posts about jews, niggers, gooks and soyboys ad infinitum.

says the le 56% faise mongrel

styleforum (streetwear section)

do you think better rules could enhance the quality? I feel just trying to make the board less disorganised with stricter rules for what and where to post would help. for example there's usually a bunch of loose threads that no doubt belong in one of the generals, but this isn't really dealt with. and we obviously get a bunch of "is x effay" threads that should just be deleted cause they're lazy and pointless and not really fashion. There should probably also be a filter that replaces "effay" with "baloney" or "cabbage".

w/ man, there have been so many meta threads with many suggestions.
Use feedback page or Don't expect too much from them. They only delete threads or move them. The last real interaction was in 2014:
>>warosu.org/fa/thread/S8036527#p8038586
Last public ban was is 2016:
>>warosu.org/fa/thread/S11999495#p12000392

Yes, last time I've checked /ffa it was even worse than /streetwear

The issue of Veeky Forums is not the lack of rules but the lack of quality contributors

Why is SZ so slow? Fashion is a huge industry. Do all the fashion people hate the internet or something?

>but the lack of quality contributors
+ the people who support quality contributors

Patrician taste. Please accept several (((up))) arrows from my collection

Wear a fitting button up, slacks and shoes. The grown up version is simple, and you shouldn't be trying to be trendy or excentric if that's what you're looking for.

>asking for more mature discussion
>posts hideous jewish trollop

Nice meme faggot

...

>there have been so many meta threads with many suggestions
and no consensus on anything that anyone can remember? I don't really know how to find these threads

>The last real interaction was in 2014
I don't really comprehend how the system works, some boards have a bunch of rules and mods and this place is a wasteland. But if I were to go on /qa/ or feedback myself I feel I'd have to know a lot more (see above)

>The issue of Veeky Forums is not the lack of rules but the lack of quality contributors
for all we know certain rules being enforced in certain ways could attract quality contributors and/or get annoying kids to go away. What else would you do? Spread leaflets in fashionable places?

I'd think making a board more serious would attract more serious people, I don't know what else to do

you mean mods or what?

You can recognize those meta threads when the OP reminisces about how good Veeky Forums was, when OP asks what happened to Veeky Forums or when OP asks how to make Veeky Forums great again/how to save Veeky Forums. Hopefully that provides you with enough keywords. I'm willing to search with you for some of those threads. Luck also helps.
I haven't seen any consensus, nor a whole lot of proposals for realistic solutions. That fact that meta threads are now directed to a shitposting board doesn't help either. /qa/ is useless. You're best try the IRC.
I mean posters. When someone makes a thread that is 'good' (whatever that means), it needs people who are interested and who are willing to discuss the topic with one another. At the moment there's a thread with a creative director from H&M. Interesting stuff, but no discussion. That's the least thing you, as one man, could do, support the threads you think are good and report the threads you think break the rule. They do get deleted sometimes.

>these have nothing to do with clothing or even the Veeky Forums lifestyle.

>Agreed with this, also tumblr threads, face rate threads, and "is (completely off topic shit) effay??" threads should be a ban too.
>This board is somewhat slow so a lack of moderating is expected but i feel like there is barely any moderation at all. Either hiro doesnt give a shit or hes just too dumb to manage his mods and fix this place. Even though moots a faggot i miss him, Veeky Forums was somewhat better when he was still around.

>I reported about 5 threads that have nothing to do with clothes (like the is pepsi effay thread) hours ago and they're still up. It's like the mods truly don't give a shit about this place

>There are no mods
>I've reported more than 10 cases of people straight up saying they are underage on Veeky Forums which is ban in under 10 minutes in any other board and none of these people got banned

>this is the only real answer. we need some mods and janis. didn't Veeky Forums have some sort of applications a while back. what happened with that?

>They recruit most years, so keep an eye out in the future when applications open

>we should also do something about "is ____ effay" threads cause some of them are maximum autististic

>this. "is sonic the hedgehog effay??"

jesus
learn what greentext is used for then fuck off back to reddddit

I must admit, the same complaints return.

scientists designed it for this exact purpose, what's your reddit account

>Is there even a mod for this board? It's so slow I feel like shitposts stay for forever

>It never has to do with fashion, and when it does, it's almost entirely anti-fashion (e.g. "those glasses are nu-male"); these political nonsense posters seem to have a lot of (sometimes contradictory ideas) of what not to wear, but never suggest what is acceptable.

>don't feed the trolls
>try to use other sources such as magazines and other better websites to bring new content in
>harsh but constructive criticism in WAYWT threads based on not just personal opinion, but well researched trends / designs

>We need to direct every poster to our rules and etiquette. If you see a lone hair thread, redirect it to a general and sage it, it only costs you 15 seconds, but it will pay off for you big time.
>It doesn't matter how many new posters come from reddit every day, as long as they are contained in the threads of their interest/competence.
>We don't need tripsfags, they will always be cancerous. We need a strong community of relevant posters - each to his own area of expertise.
>I did the same thing a year ago on Veeky Forums - not quite but it worked. Every day I spent around 10-15 minutes just saging and reporting threads from highschoolers, and encouraging people to do the same. Now Veeky Forums is full of STEM students and PhDs. Sounds silly, I know, but people can collectively clean a board up if you make them aware.

I remember two attempts at renewing the sticky. One is the picture you just posted, and that information isn't available anymore. The other one was :
warosu.org/fa/thread/S9996200

warosu.org/fa/thread/S9382778
warosu.org/fa/thread/S10376669
warosu.org/fa/thread/S10614733

This is just ranting. You are delusional if you think any of these suggestions will be implemented. Imageboards just don't work in the social media age.

The unfortunate reality is that early Veeky Forums actually had some people who had very good fits, and a community that prided itself of being helpful and working on developing a personal sense of style. However, the problem is more widespread than Veeky Forums culture pervading Veeky Forums and shitting up the board. Instead fashion came to prominence for men during the past seven odd years and that has lead to an influx of people who view fashion as a means to something, rather than as a hobby or set of lifestyle choices. The arrival of people looking for information on staying 'on trend' lead to all of the old school DIY fashion people, and runway discussion threads, leaving the board to go God knows where. Ever since that point, the board has been infested with people asking about whether these Ultraboosts are 'effay' or deriding someone who is willing to experiment with their silhouettes and try something new and unique. In the olden days someone would have offered advice and direction, rather than calling them a faggot and then trying to argue that some anime t shirt is worth the expense.

Veeky Forums certainly has a shitposting problem, but much of the issue is pervasive in fashion as an industry and a contemporary culture, and that is sadly something we can't fix with a couple of rule changes or a new website. Sometimes I still wonder where the OG posters went to, and if they found some website that fulfilled everything they wanted to discuss.

uhm no sweetie Veeky Forums posts are meant to be short and green text is for
> lists
> short stories
> implying
> quoting
not copy and pasting walls of text
now get out

>this guy posts and the thread dies

He's right, you know.

old fag here
most of us either got deeper into fashion which lead to being on the internet less or realised we have our own style and understood fashion enough to be able to study it on our own which and left all the online fashion communities

you reach a point when you just do not want to talk about fashion with anyone in an open forum because most of the time people don't know a fucking thing, so you either make irl fashion friends by attending shows or working in retail or you wear what you want and read books at home, or a mixture of both

>> quoting
>not copy and pasting walls of text
so they are meant to have contradictive purpose? got it

>been here since 2016
>tfw you will never experience the golden years of Veeky Forums

the only reason I'm here is because I havent found any other fashion board that isn't reddit-tier or hype-beast.

you might genuinely be retarded

settle down, kids

t. guy who can't separate a short quote from copy and pasting a wall of text
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

"quote" doesn't mean "short quote" you spastic

kek if you really can't see the whole point of a greentext is to keep things short then you're an utter retard

it doesn't mean short quote but the implication is that it's to be used for either multiple short quotes or one 'big' one lest the post turn into a redd.ddit esque monstrosity like the couple you posted

just go back to redd..itt if you want your big paragraphs little guy

settle down, kids

i'm not a kid I have pubes and a medium-small sized willy

>the implication is that it's to be used for either multiple short quotes or one 'big' one and if you do both it becomes reddit
this seems convoluted and made up on the spot

it would seem convoluted if it was your first day here and you never bothered to lurk, correct

trust a reactionary, it's hell for rightwingers too. i think everybody who visits Veeky Forums must be some kind of miserable masochist
