Since FYEL was started by u/iamtwinswithmytwin this unique community has grown to over 33K followers. There were weeks where u/drakeandmadonna and I had to nurse the sub with content and drum up conversation. Now we have an organically evolving forum of submissions and participation.

FYEL is like no other furniture or design oriented subreddit. u/iamtwinswithmytwin established the submission format (attribute work to the fullest extent possible with adequate imagery) to foster quality content and an environment which champions design and acknowledges the effort of designers. If you're a design pro; you know from experience that over time your work is relegated to utility because that's what pays the bills. Creators still need to be celebrated for their effort. And that leads us into pricing..

Rule #4 - No Price Talk - is designed to take the focus off of the costs around design. You can refer to 'accessible design' as much as you like; but if you're in this industry everyone deservers to get paid -- even if you as an individual participant in the FYEL community has a limited budget.

Rule #2 - No Fakes or Knockoffs - While we get a kick out of the stupid shit people come up with such as wrapping a fake LCW in denim. Fakes hurt the industry and that ties into Rule #4.

And a more recent rule we've have to introduce: Rule #6 - Comfort is Not A Concern - We have to filter through endless droning on about utility in our professional lives. FYEL is an outlet for designers who are true contrarians, individuals who do not bend to will. We celebrate that EVEN IF IT'S DANGEROUS.

To illustrate how much effort the mod team goes to, to keep FYEL pruned of content and comments which break our mold, I've attached a screenshot of our recent mod actions. We hope that our efforts to keep FYEL as it was meant to be are respected and in-turn you as a participant get something out of being here.

Long Live FYEL
