Should we restructure the Length-Specific Threads?

[cookies]

Thank you for taking the time for this Vara La Fey!

It’s tough to determine which markers are 3in apart when that varies so widely from person to person.
On my body for example, I’d split the Waist to Classic into WL to BCL and BCL to Classic. Also FTL=MTL on me.
I do like the list Bat suggested. And I do think Buzz to Ear and Ear to Chin is an important split, because starting from scratch can be the toughest, so getting to graduate a thread soon-ish can be very encouraging I imagine.

I'm fine with keeping it buzz to Chin i just wouldn't be opposed if they did it ear, bcl and collarbone don't really need a topic fingertip is arguble since mosy people like the idea but some like me prefer mtl to be mentioned it was my goal when i first joined

On me CBL is way more than 3" from SL and from APL, so should still be over 3" on most people. Thus I say CBL totally needs its own marker and thread.

Also on me FTL and MT are the same. I think FTL is important due to common skirt length in corporate dress codes, but MT is the same on everyone regardless of proportions, which is also important and maybe more meaningful. Hmmm....

YW.

3" is important because that's 6 months of growth on average. So I'm not considering just the length, but that stretch of time in which anything can happen. Plus I think 6 months seems like a nice graduation interval.

Agreed that early graduation is prolly good incentive to keep going. Where on the ear constitutes Ear Length?

Changing my list a bit probably getting a bit overboard lol I know I said originally that it was too nit picky but here I am now trying to be inclusive of all milestones

All Lengths Thread
Buzz to Cheekbone or Buzz to Pixie
Cheekbone to Chin or Pixie to Chin
Chin to Shoulder
Shoulder to Collarbone
Collarbone to Armpit
Armpit to Midback
Midback to Waist
Waist to Hip
Hip to Butt (sounds better than Buttcrack)
Butt to Tailbone
Tailbone to MTL
Fingertip ( fingertip seems to be pretty popular so maybe have its own thread??)
Mid thigh to Knee
Knee to Upper Calf
Upper Calf to Lower calf
Lower Calf to Ankle
Ankle to Floor and Beyond
Terminal

Quoting myself as I edited my post

I think I would leave well enough alone. Oh gosh, why the upheaval? These threads are "ingrained" into the LHC by now. Changing things up will bring *so much confusion* about that it's not going to be "nice" and will actually (IMO) scare people off from posting. You can't police something that has grown into what it has grown into. It's just MHO, I don't know how anyone else feels, as I just browsed the first post. It seems a whole lot of effort to just get some "structure" into something that can't be structured, but that's me.

I mean, I applaud your efforts, but I fear they are in vain.

There is nothing wrong with change updating at the very least just fix up so we don't have 2-3 tailbone waist hip threads

I think it could be nice to at least merge the threads that have the same lengths, like waist to hip and waist to tailbone.

https://forums.longhaircommunity.com...d.php?t=156026 I made a vote thread that's just for voting in the poll can add to the first post possibly

It is a bit of a mess, isn’t it!

I don’t have time to do the figuring out, but keep discussing and make detailed specific suggestions and I can merge, rename, and update the index as needed once folks are happy with their ideas.

One suggestion, if new separate threads are more useful than merging, we can lock the older thread(s) and put links to the new both as a new post and as an ETA in the old so when folks who had previously participated in those threads turn up they can find the redirects to the active threads.

I would have rather there been a Waist -Hip and a Hip-Tailbone thread myself, but I have posted photos with my WL hair in the latter along with many others and it would be out of the place if the name is changed. Since the waist-hip thread is very quiet I don’t post there even though I would rather be able to graduate another length thread eventually. merging the two would probably be easier than attempting the split the waist-tailbone thread, I assume!
