Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

I actually think it's a good idea. I remember when I'd just joined SZ I went through a couple of long "must-read" threads and it wasn't easy, precisely because of the irrelevant (and more importantly, repetitive) stuff in there. However, some of these comments really do have the ability to ignite the participants and evolve into an interesting discussion.

The rest I wouldn't touch. I would leave any comment having even a hint of usefulness in it, such as description of fit and fabric. But I see a newcomer going through these threads an losing patience because of all the where2kop bullshit. And the pictures only don't tell a full story.
thanks for clarifying....I mean the ephemeral, the fugitive, the contingent, the half of art whose other half is the eternal and the immutable.

thanks for clarifying.
"purging shopping questions from D&C is a logical organizational move"
not true. it is a destructive move.

and in some cases, the latter necessitates the former.

^bad lieutenant, lol
i actually agree in theory about the inherent messiness of forums..
but if the messiness conflicts with sz's potential to become a *valuable source of information, i don't mind compromising some of it...especially on the very small scale that Faust is proposing.
i still do like the curated thread idea though......I mean the ephemeral, the fugitive, the contingent, the half of art whose other half is the eternal and the immutable.

Ok, so I redefined the Hall of Fame mission.
Also, I will be moving some threads into a new subforum, designer archives. These are not just pictorial archives, since I don't beleive in pictures without words, but also ongoing discussions of certain designers. Please contribute images and thoughts and again, KEEP THE SHOPPING RELATED QUESTIONS IN THE SHOPPING SECTIONS. Thank you!Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde
