Here is the quote -

Want to harness your inner Clark Gable or Humphrey Bogart? Then check out the Fedora Lounge, a style forum dedicated to the "Golden Era" of American style; ie 1930s-1940s. You'll find plenty of useful threads on classic shaving and picking out a proper fedora for your brain canister.

Very nice!

The picture up top features a hat-wearing man as well. I thought that was a neat reference to Fedora Lounge though.

I saw the article via the Art of Manliness blog, it made me that much more proud to be a member.

On another note, I read Style Forum sometimes, but I'm a bit put off by some of the overly proud, elitist members there, no offense to those here that are members of that board. I registered, but rarely post.

That is how I found the link.

So did I. I can't even remember my g/d screen name now.

I think it was Joseph Campbell who said that men in a group will always, inevitably, adopt a hierarchy and enforce it. The Lounge is one of the few places, online or offline, that's somewhat free of that. That's due in part to good moderating, in part to the presence of women as well as men, but also, I believe, to our unusual eclecticism. We're not just about hats or shaving or niche interest x, y, or z. We educate each other, we synthesize, and we cross-pollinate, with people picking up new interests or reviving old ones.

This is how I found this community. I am a long-time reader of AoM.

It's very flattering to have that acknowledgement.
