We all LOVE to see what @880 is wearing and she is so generous to list all the details - @880 posts are so well thought out - impressive and delightful.
or cough, eight off. . . Then you can come back with a fresh perspective 
Noooo! After all these years, I still really enjoy the forum, there is always something new and interesting happening. Though I must admit to having placed strict limits to the amount of time spend on line - it’s more of a treat rather than a constant thing. So realistically I only have time to check certain forums and type of posts. The H forum is of course my favourite though occasionally I check Chanel (surpised no one started a thread for the V&A exhibition) and the wardrobe/general handbag forums. Not sure how ‘safe’ it is to post photos any more but I still share one or two… I adore your photos (your Kelly collections !!!!!) and your general comments too- as a recent example, I simply loved your imput on the Kelly flash saga.
I find all of your posts and comments always insightful. I have learned so much from posts (such as yours and other regulars (I don’t know how to multi comment if not I would tag all))and developed a love for the brand/goods. It is these insightful posts about a legendary brand that keeps someone like me coming back to this forum.Thanks, all.
It's not so much people re-asking questions that were already answered, nor do I really expect tons of thanks (although it's nice when I lean in hard for someone). It's how mean some people are (not even just to me - to everyone), random post deletions for reasons I don't understand, and people getting mad because someone disagrees with statements of absolutes.
It's not a "community" anymore. I have over 100 people on "ignore" now, and it's only for two reasons: people who are almost invariably mean to other posters, and racism. I said something about this change of tone (the meanness, not the racism - that unfortunately will always come out on the Internet) in the OG forum and got a couple very "haughty" responses, including that certain folks are experts who must be respected, and that people who can't afford Hermès should just stay away from it. (?!).
I have also noticed that many of the OG H collectors are no longer participating here. The wonderful things people used to share - no longer. The reference guides are dated, scanty, and/or contain misinformation and the folks who were deep contributors are largely gone.
It's not that I expect thanks. I guess I expect a friendly, informational group that's excited about H? (I do see this in the scarfies btw.)
I guess I just don't see the point of sharing here anymore. End of my sob story
I really do think it helps when the ones around are not into luxury.
I spent the last year buying whatever l fancied, in a ‘l see it, l want it, l buy it’ fashion, after a long period of restrain for most of my working life. Hermes bags and scarves, chanel jackets and skirts, vca earrings, etc. l think of it as a year of letting it out of the system. I think l’m done now. I just have to figure out a way to leave tPF, they are too good a group of enablers! I need to find my mountain town community
