For sure. He was/is a valuable contributor to NT in general in my opinion, and was in this thread specifically but the success of this thread back then was due in part to several members so if we're giving credit, make sure some of the other OG's get credit too. Those from back in the old thread even before this new one. Nii, Wis, Steezy a while back, Sartega, Adrian, Carlin, to name a few off the top of my head...
Of course there were MANY more members that contributed but those key players successfully helped shape the thread and though I barely post on NT, this thread certainly played the main role in my transition.
It's not what it used to be for sure but that's not entirely the current posters' fault though.
Like Wis stated earlier, things simply change. In the beginning, it was almost a journey for most of us leaving streetwear into the vast world of menswear. That transitional phase coupled with the growing popularity of menswear in general in fashion made for a great thread. Menswear hype just isn't as big as it was a while back.
But in regards to posters, some, like Nii and RFX weren't new to menswear and seemed to genuinely enjoy ushering newbies in and others were just as excited to learn and share and most of all help each other.
Damn near everybody feels like they have s*** on lock now, which is totally fine, we should by now lol but that shifts the dynamic a bit but it's not the worst. This could now just become like what the high end designer threads are, or most of the other threads on NT, where people all just share and talk about what they like/buy/wear/want to buy and is not so much of a thread to learn from. Don't just let the thread just die though.
