We literally have four degrees of separation, anon....guaranteed

Hypebeast is dead too. I guess they all just made the natural transition to social media.

>>10417448
Forums as a medium for communication have largely all died within the last 2 years.

what happened tho? one would think at least the waywt would still generally be active (and it was so not that long ago) cause its easy to drop a post in and bounce, but its not even that anymore

>>10417908
>>10417898
are people really just happier liking shit on facebook and instagram?
where did everyone go? i miss reading actual conversations

>>10417942
>facebook and instagram
you forgot reddit. they've sucked up most discussion forum traffic over the past 5+ years.

the soccer boards i used to go to are just about dead.

>>10417942
I think tumblr, facebook, reddit, and instagram all offer upvotes/likes/followers and those tend to futher encourage conceited/self-gratifying behavior. Lets be honest here, most of us are pretty vain. Why else would we spend more than $100 on a pair of jeans, or a t-shirt.

>>10418014
but you can upboat on sufu too

also, who /spend$$$onfashunbutabsolutelynointernetpresenceexceptsteamacctworth$500+/ here

>>10418023
>500+
poorboi plz go

>>10418014
Because we are interested in fashion and not approval from random strangers?

>>10418027
Man I wish there were more interest in fashion here
Apparently ivy is seeping into A-list Hollywood so the next style needs to be acknowledged (now that it's mainstream)
Honestly I'm thinking campcore....and I'm all in

where else can I go? I checked this place out because it kept getting mentioned here and like OP said, it's dead as fuck.

What are some good alternatives? I'll even check out facebook pages if the discussion is decent

tumblr, mostly, has made it easier to find/share relevant fashion inspiration online. the discussion part is still missing from there, though.

>>10418534
It at least used to have more than 5 regular posters.

cuck homosexual mods killed sufu, so fuck them

>>10418416
what's that one website trunks went to that's selective whether they let you in or not

>>10419651
Didn't you get banned?

>>10419663

from sufu yes because i sais "fuck gay people" and then told a mod to fuck off XD

>>10419651
Thankfully it's dead so you don't need to complain about your ban again

le zero self awareness of endless shitposting man returns to /fa/

>>10419651
peaked at your rick blanket tbh

dont gotta be salty cause your internet careers been all down hill since then bud

>>10419671

i got banned like 3 months ago though

>>10419677

no salt, sufu is boringgggg

Is there a replacement for sufu's marketplace? Just Grailed or are there other options?

>>10419721
now that no one is forced to deal with ebays bullshit fees anymore i think its p much just grailed now

>Lets be honest here, most of us are pretty vain. Why else would we spend more than $100 on a pair of jeans, or a t-shirt.
Personally, for quality fit, construction and fabric. I don't post my picture on the internet.

>>10419756
>application only

what's the name of the board

>>10419850
then why post here and waste time? takes 15 seconds to google and find out which brands make quality jeans, tees, etc

>>10418416
i regularly post on hb and while forum activity has drastically dwindled in the last two years (thanks instagram), theres still a large handful of niggas actively posting. its becoming more of a niche tight knit community. sufu is a lost cause tho that shit is dead lmfao

>>10419856
like I'm going to expose the only good community to fa or reddit scrubs

>>10419884
that facebook group is fucking gay dude
give it up

>>10420588
nice list man
should be in the sticky
sad there's basically only 3 forums and this hole left on the entire internet

>>10420595

5d still has some of the old heads posting every once in a while, pretty cool to see peeps you flamed / flamed you 10 years ago getting on with their lives. also milspex

>>10419756

>>10420588
>where have people migrated?
No idea. Men's fashion in terms of sales has never been higher. I'm surprised that discussion is dwindling. It may be that most normies are just used to thumbing shit on their touch screen smart phone and are too illiterate to talk about it? So fashion discussion may have just become a viral instagram like-fest of images.

>>10419756
>tfw my private fashion torrent tracker laughs at your forum

>>10419756

>spoiler: it's still a circle jerk full of fuccbois

>>10420588
styleforum is still doing ok but has definitely slowed down

>>10420588
well i just checked unwoven and it was surprisingly lively... i am happily surprised

I'll start an IRC channel on Rizon for anyone that's interested. Just suggest a name and I'll get it going.

>>10421457
Can't believe unwoven survived sufu. that is so funny for a number of reasons

>>10420588

missing DW which is pretty bumping. members are generally well-educated and wealthy, and also more sane.

4chan's image board format is far superior for fashion discussion than that of forums such as sufu, syleforum etc.

>>10421549
what is DW?

Ok so I went ahead and started a channel if anyone is interested.

#c(e)ffay on rizon; (cafe + effay, if it wasn't abundantly clear)

>>10421464
sthlm already made one and it never took off
it was just me him and adrift

>>10421603
You can join in if you like. I have a lot of dead IRCs I still post in. Try kiwiirc and select the Rizon option. Best for posting links.

>>10421619
why not just use the original?

>>10421624
We can, that's fine. I didn't know if it would feel "dead" to people and if they would want to try something completely new.

Just started an IRC channel on Rizon @ #c(e)ffay (cafe + effay if it wasn't abundantly clear)

Join in if you wish~

Well, I am one of the sufu elite top posters with 5,000+ posts. The problem I think is that we became too elite and inaccessible to newbies. The fits were consistently top-tier, best of the internet and newbs felt the learning curve was too steep. As we lost people to attrition (getting married, busy careers, etc), we had no young blood to replace our ranks. So we are left with how it is now. We literally died because we were too good. Sucks, I really miss the golden days.

#c(e)ffay has closed for the evening, thanks to all who joined in for the first session

We'll be back tomorrow

>>10421054
want an invite

>>10422099
this is most pathetic post ive ever read on the internet
kill yourself

sufu cocksucker please go

>>10422298
Lmao. Sufu was (and I hope is gonna be) one of the best fashion forums. You, little ugly fa worm, should fucking shut your mouth.

>>10422298

#effay was actually never opened, really. wasn't "marketed" or anything.

it was just meant for discussion regarding sticky/wiki modification, and then we never went further than that. made a collection of rules, but then we went on a summer hiatus. max # of people there at any one time was 5 I think

>>10421563

dressed well

>>10419756
if its invite early then you should have no problem linking it
assuming you're correct in your assertion that the thousands of posters on /fa/ had tastes which are 'mediocre and dated', none of them would get in anyway
so prove it exists.
reminds me of when dumbfucks were talking about cc as if it's some ultra patrican forum for big boys only and refusing to link it

>>10423557
you sound pretty desperate lil homie

superfuture died after the site re-design in 2011/12. Sucks, it used to be a great place.

WHO /R/TEENMFA HERE?????????????

>>10419756
lol nice seeing one of you here
whats your user?

>>10423557
lol yeah it was amusing to create a false sense of elitism around CC when it's easily reached.

>>10421048
nice dawg

>>10417478
yeah their articles only have about 8k hits

>>10419756
lol /r/designerfashion

>>10420588
also thefashionspot is THE fashion forum outside publication-linked boards

>>10419857
because what someone considers to be "quality" is really subjective

>>10422099
lmao

>>10423676
fogs, you?

>>10425158
stop bumping your negative, toxic thread OP
sufu is not dead and it's still the best fashion board online, bar none. especially including this shit hole

>>10425162
>Posters: 50
>the person bumping must be OP!

retard

anyone know when ktt is going to open up registration again? /fa/ has just become too shitty

>>10425230
>>10425230
who else would then? the thread was dying naturally

only other person might be some sufu faggot desperate for relevance lol

>>10418023

Me

>>10425255
50 others

look, there is no way either of us can be proven right - so I'll just settle on calling you an autist faggot, k?

now hop off my dick

>>10425301
nah
ur the autist here for actually giving a shit about sufu, lmao@ur life

>>10423625
