It's the sort of thing that didn't exist when the WAYWRN thread was divided in two, and it is far better than either today for a post stream that is updated throughout the day.

The MC crowd has its own similar sins arife, of course.

I want to point out that this photo isn't a fair representation of SW&D. It was rightfully mocked by virtually everyone. I think both sides are guilty of plucking some of the more poorly executed outfits from the other side and using it as justification for negative generalizations about how everyone on that side dresses.
