I've noticed across all boards people have left in swarms over the years with a major drop off around that time, but it's hard to pinpoint. I've been going to this website off and on since 2011ish and in the last 5 years whenever I come back I notice every board is slightly less populated. This isn't something happening strictly to this board, it's a sitewide issue, and honestly there's nothing really to be done about it. At one point 4chan's stigma worked to our advantage being it's own form of advertising, but now with the amount of options in the online space few people really have a reason to come here anymore, especially considering the collective consciousness has shifted towards a more entertaining lens rather than a discussion vantage point. The internet is no longer in its "wild west" state where people are willing to explore, there are plenty of places to stay now, and given 4chan's long history and reputation most aren't going to come here anymore. 4chan is a relic of the forum era of the internet hanging on by a thread. It's a good thing 4chan have never been profitable because an issue like this would normally mean a website would be in danger of being shut down, but at this point it almost feels like the website runs as a public service.

lefties thought fashion is kind of gay so /fa/ should be a lefty board so they made those dumb threads to drive up hate of /pol/.
it's possible some actually retarded nazis decided to make those threads unironically later. but even if they did: those threads are fairly rare.

Pretty much every problem with this website can be attributed to phoneposters, /pol/ and the death of 'lurk m0ar' culture.

>Phoneposters
Computers and internet access used to be considered unessential. Now, digital literacy and second hand and cheap machines means that every household that's not a tent in Africa has access to a PC. In addition, putting an idiotproof device that can easily access the internet in the hands of every person on the planet means that there are simply more people online, including people who wouldn't have owned or used a computer before the arrival of smartphones.

>/pol/
It's important to note that /pol/posting itself is not always the issue - but it often is - but the existence of the board itself. It acts as a point of interest for news reporters and normals to point a finger at and say "look at how terrible this website is they are cyberterrorists and white supremacists". It doesn't need to be true, all it needs to do is draw attention to the website, causing people who otherwise would have little interest in the site to become aware of it and arrive. People on social media posting screenshots from 4chan doesn't help either. And yes, they don't need to be /pol/ users; it's simply a case of summerfags arriving and...

>Death of 'lurk m0ar' culture.
Not knowing when it's appropriate to start posting. Imagine you transfer to a new high school and need to choose some place to sit for lunch. You can observe the tables and find a group that you can fit into, maybe modifying your behaviour a little to do so, or you can just sit at the first table you see, make everyone there uncomfortable by acting in a different manner to what's accepted there, then people start to leave. I'm describing >>17199449. Unfortunately, it's past the point of repair, because on pretty much all boards and good posters of yesteryear have all moved on, and now the garbage 'board culture' that prevails everywhere are election tourists.

And no, I'm not a jew. You're probably an American, so I'll spell this out for you; not everything needs to be politicized, and people don't need to be sorted into categories based on what they believe. The overwhelming problem with the internet now is, and I believe this is due to social media companies wanting to make money by selling personal data, that your real world identity has started to meld with your online identity and become a talking point. 20 years ago you were snailluvvr51 and that was all; now you're John Smith, a mechanic from Bristol, England that's 30 years old, likes watching professional wrestling, drinking imported alcohol and mostly uses websites x, y and z.

if you're gonna call /pol/ drawing normie retards "/pol/ ruining this board" you are being dishonest unless you explain that is your point every time.
because the obvious implied meaning of the statement would be something like nazis come here and post nazi things and ruin your board.
but there is objectively very little of that.

inclusion of more phone posters is almost certainly a problem.

my take is high-trait narcissism posters are specifically the worst problem on /fa/ and /fit/ and that these are probably here as a result of lookism and zoomers getting old enough to post.
another part of that is other sites drew away the people that would have become or were the tripfags.

eg. if a guy like casemods called someone a retard that needed to stfu that guy couldn't just go
>lol u r poor and ugly and i am right
and pretend to himself that he was top shit. he'd know it would pass because people knew that casemods was objectively a handsome guy.

too many people talk shit and too few post fit.

>> No.17200897

the narcissist poster is kind of a blackhole.
like, let's say you post a fit.
the narcissist will say your fit is shit and you are a gay retard but he won't tell you why.
because if he told you why that is kind of falsifiable meaning it puts him at risk of someone calling him a gay retard which he doesn't want to do.
if you ask him what a good fit is he will not tell you because if he did that is kind of falsifiable which puts him at risk of someone calling him a gay retard which he doesn't want to do.

i think "golden era 4chan" is people that call each other gay retards but also put forward arguments and counter-arguments and try to work out what is right.

/fa/ has always been one of the lowest IQ boards with the least intellectual curiosity. The vast majority of retards into the faggy A E S T H E T I C S bullshit can't be assed to even do cursory research about what the fuck they're buying, just vainly throwing away their money to overpay for an identity they're too weak to form for themselves. This is why you get faggots shallowly posting terrorwave and nazi shit without knowing what the fuck it even means. They say that about 50% of the people walking around on the street can't even tell you what years WW2 even happened. I'm willing to be on /fa/ at least it's significantly higher, even if they are running around in an ill-fitting woodland camo M65 claiming it's WW2 aesthetic (because the etsy description said so).

If there's anyone reading this that fondly remembers old /fa/, I have an interest check:
I've been thinking off and on about hosting an oldschool BBS forum dedicated to fashion discussion. It wouldn't focus on any specific genre of clothing the way Stylezeitgeist does but instead welcome discussion of any designer, style or brand so long as the focus is actually on fashion. The other rules would be simple
>No shitposting in serious threads
>No politics or religion
>No flamewars
>Talk shit post fit

The goal is to create a curated place for people who like clothes to discuss them without having to join a discord server, facebook group or otherwise. These all have their own issues, such as discord servers requiring you to be present during a discussion if you want to talk about it, rather than being able to write a wall of text then come back days later and still see it there. Is it pointless trying to start a forum in current year? I sure hope not.

I'm not really sure how to promote it apart from posting it here as I only have one friend who is into clothing.

honestly this might be it. anonymity is a really good way for narcissists to say whatever they want and get away with it. on reddit you have an account history or something so you can be banned or people wont take you seriously because they can see what shit you posted before
so i guess my take is that moderate narcissists (from reddit or twitter or whatever) come to 4chan because there people could somewhat see through their bullshit, but here they are intoxicated with freedom and can finally express their narcissism fully. The fact that most of the modern social are really good at producing moderate narcissists doesn't help
less accessible boards like /ic/ just straight up died because people there were already extremely self conscious, and good tips and critiques were drowning in a meaningless spewing of narcissistic begs

imo to keep a board alive posters should be both dedicated AND humble

and since this is a /fa/ board being humble usually means embracing non-conformity which is basically impossible

Seems like an issue with so many fashion forums. This place, Sufu, SZ, FuK. All of them died and morphed into Facebook groups, which are also dying. The most popular one that hasn't gone under is probably The Basement which turned into a meme group used to sell shit tracksuits. People don't really want to talk about fashion as a hobby, most fashion forums have turned into /soc/ with a healthy dose of anti-gatekeeping whilst still gatekeeping anyway, and lots and lots of snark. Somewhere like /fa/ or Sufu, my two favorite places to discuss fashion are the absolute antithesis of modern fashion.

It is only a hobby if you have a large disposable income and loads of free time.
For most of us, it is a chore, a task that needs to be done.
We certainly don't want to be talked down to by ignorant 14 year olds who read anime.

This is often my conclusion as well. Narcissistic people are on the surge, everyone believes themselves to be superior to another man but can never really explain why. When presented with something “triggering” they shit post and flee. It’s one thing to tease someone who’s acting genuinely retard and it’s an entirely different ordeal to treat them like shit because it triggers your own projections. Carl Jungs path to individuation is becoming one the most important aspects of my life. Iv become a totally new person after finally confronting myself. I’m not longer plagued with intrusive thoughts, I’m never hit with a fleeting thought of past action. I can see through people clearly, I can understand their motives without prying, and most of all, I will never project what I dislike about myself on to others. The confrontation with your shadow is the most impactful process you can ever undergo, for the betterment of your own psyche.
I hope everyone here can accept themselves and understand we all have archetypes, to try and change who you are, what your very fabric is, to masquerade and to hate it, which is the route of all poison in your life.

A Discord server is the antithesis of what I want to make; the key difference is that Discord requires you to actively be around and participating in discussion when a topic you're interested in is happening. A forum on the other hand is slow. You can make a post, come back several days, a week, or a month later and have one or more replies that you can then respond to, and then still have people respond to you. If you try to do this in a Discord server, the discussion is done and dusted and you'd have to get lucky with having other people online *at that time* that wish to discuss it.

Also, Discord
encourages sending messages
like this
instead of writing well formatted and thought out walls of text, which generally leads to higher quality discussion instead of scatterbrained stream-of-consciousness style writing.

Anyway, I think I will go ahead with trying to create this forum, however I'm a bit occupied with moving into a new job and some other real life things at the moment. I will try to do so within the next few months and post a link in a thread similar to this, or a 'post old /fa/ content' type

yes however like I said you can make a slow discord channel for discussion where people are only allowed to post once a day for instance, that should achieve the desired effect

It's a precarious affair. It doesn't all fall apart the moment overall quality dips, but it creates a feedback loop where a quality poster asks themselves "why bother anymore" and, first, stops contributing, and then afterward abandons the place altogether

I wasn't one of the best posters, but I left /fa/ when nobody responded to my threads and instead spent their time on and in inane and worthless threads. Dumping a thread of inspo by yourself can take an hour of your time.

Most mainstream fashion is streetwear or some derivative of it. The rest is just people looking at pictures from 20 years ago in old magazines, finding an outfit that could be acceptable today but is still different enough to be ‘new’ and trying it out, rinse and repeat. Being into fashion has become so much more acceptable it’s sort of required, and that means people who otherwise wouldn’t give a shit come here and ask dumb questions and it’s been overrun at this point. It doesn’t help when nobody wants to lurk and thinks they’re an expert after 5 days. I saw a thread recently of some idiot talking about some super secret website and that the other post should ‘gatekeep a lil senpai’, it was Buyee.

>op here, im a zoomer and in 2014-2016 this board was significantly better.
>shit slowly turned into mfa
So I'm an oldfag, been on this hell hole site off and on since 2006. When I first started coming to /fa/ in 09-10ish what is currently considered "mfa" styles were largely what was popular here. Business casual type fits, Clark's desert boots, red wing iron rangers, Oxford cloth shirts, raw denim, etc. That was one of the largest factions of posters here, among the hype beasts, and designer full rick goth ninja guys. Mfa copied that style from here and I imagine a lot of oldfags migrated there. So it's coming full circle really.

Why is this happening? Probably because the majority of zoomers are now in their early/mid 20s. Many graduating from college and are "growing up" trying to look more normie to get their first office job. Happens to some guys. You can drink, suddenly you want to look and feel more adult. Time catches up to everyone eventually and aging makes people do strange shit or shit they said they'd never do.

The whole point of this being gatekept is to keep people who aren't dedicated out. Buyee is the retard honeypot that will milk your money with their shady ethug activities and exorbitant service fees. YJ and Rak used to be super seekrit klubs that you would only hear a whisper of here or there; you'd probably have to hear about them from a friend like I did. Then Hypebeast etc did an article before Rak global closed down. I don't really think it's a secret the way it used to be, but it's also not something that shouldnt be advertised with neon lights.

Good, get fucked. This board was always garbage and so was /mu/. It was always the lowest common denominator of poverty fashion losers circle jerking the same 3 brands for eternity. Take your nostalgia goggles off and go back and look through those old archived threads, it has always been pure trash here lol. Low effort posts from people pretending to be more knowledgeable than they were, no accolades and nothing to show for it

Fashion is a heavily visual hobby, and the imageboard template simply isn't up to par to meet the needs of modern users. /fa/ has been outpaced by other platforms like tiktok, Discord, Pinterest, Instagram and YouTube which have flooded with much more talented and better looking people in recent years. Youtube alone has doubled in popularity since 2018. With much higher quality curated images for inspo than anything you will ever find on this autistic congregation site.
