This website is too good to be true !

I do not know what to say about this website. I look at all the designs, and the comments that everybody is posting, and I have come to realize that if you are not a total computer geek who has thousands of online freinds, your chances of getting a submission posted are slim to none. Some of the worst designs I have seen on this website, have the most comments. I notice it is the same people making those comments. I thought artists were better than that. Artists are suspose to have open minds, and be supportive of one another, but apparently, you are only supportive of people in your clicks. Seems very petty to me. It is suspose to be about the art, not a popularity contest. I only rate designs that I think are good, because I do not want to hurt peoples chances of getting a submission through. I do not know why I bother being nice though, because nobody has returned favor. I post comments on other people pictures to be supportive, again no one returns the favor. Anyways I know this is going to piss people off, but have we really gotten so petty, that we just want to see anybody that we do not know, fail. As far as I know it does not hurt anybodies chances to vote for other peoples designs. So why so many haters.

I have no friends

and I am like an old dude with no internets whatsoever

and I have some luck with printing and scoring

so, maybe you need to investigate a bit more?

tracerbullet on Oct 12 '09 at 4:20pm

can't take my eyes off of yooooooooou

psykomakia on Oct 12 '09 at 4:23pm

ISABOA gets prints because he's talented and his designs are killer. His "Icarus" is effing amazing brilliant genius. But even he gets relatively low scores (See Cavendish Experiment).

You get low scores because... well, because your designs don't appeal to many people. Mine don't either. Keep at it and as you and your designs improve, so will your scores.

brentendo on Oct 12 '09 at 4:27pm

low scores happen dude, its not down to haters, its down to lack of talent

rossmat8 on Oct 12 '09 at 4:28pm

Dude your designs suck. Draw something better and stop blaming the system for your own failures.

tracerbullet on Oct 12 '09 at 4:29pm

bahahaha @ ross

rossmat8 on Oct 12 '09 at 4:29pm

Actually Horse of a Different Color isn't bad maybe the score on it will change your attitude.

SnakeMan on Oct 12 '09 at 4:33pm

maybe people aren't commenting on your designs because, like you, they "only rate designs that I think are good, because [they] do not want to hurt peoples chances of getting a submission through."

personally, i just downvote all your stuff because i hate people named eric.

brentendo on Oct 12 '09 at 4:33pm

printed. Just a heads up. But keep at it man

brentendo on Oct 12 '09 at 4:35pm

fuck most of my comment got deleted. but it was along the effect of don't worry you'll improve the more you sub, just keep it at, aaand dont be disappointed if your zebra design doesnt do too well, something similar is already printed

deboraborialis on Oct 12 '09 at 4:39pm

Good designs sometimes get low scores and few comments. You just have to keep at it. It may seem like popular people are the only ones that are printed, but it's tough for everyone.

Mr_Hyde on Oct 12 '09 at 4:55pm

Thanks for the input most of the comments were helpful. Only got a couple negative comments, from a couple of total a##holes, but you find them in any grouping I will not mention their names. Most a##holes are very aware that they are a$$holes, they just do not have any other marketable skills. I won't mention there names. It would be in poor taste just like their comments were. I checked them out anyways just a couple of losers who write slogans, and bag on other peoples work ,because they have no real talent, beside witty banter. Anyways thanks again for the constructive critisism. You can say what you want about me, but I have better things to do than insult people I do not know, just to make myself feel less inadequate

ratkiss on Oct 12 '09 at 4:58pm

I'm here because threadless got me drawing again.

scores - schmores!

I enjoy subbing and the lovely comments.

If anything else comes of it, well that's just a blessing. :)

rossmat8 on Oct 12 '09 at 4:58pm

You can type asshole on here it's not a children's site.

ISABOA on Oct 12 '09 at 4:58pm

you gotta focus on the positives mr hyde

like the fact that you have had literally thousands of people look at your work that otherwise would not have.

that's HUGE

rossmat8 on Oct 12 '09 at 4:59pm

Also dude you're clearly talking about me and I really don't give a fuck.

biotwist on Oct 12 '09 at 5:06pm

you can make friends by having awesome designs.

hyde, you sound like your bitching and that's going to cause a negative backlash towards you.

don't waste your time looking at the score, look at what gets printed.

you also just insulted people you didn't know

but your are right, based on the art of your I have seen, you wont be winning any contests with out the help of friends. keep practicing

holes of ass

TheInfamousBaka on Oct 12 '09 at 5:08pm

You should hang around for a bit before you stick your nose up in the air regarding this website. What you see on the submissions that have a bunch of comments but aren't a masterpiece (by your standards) is a COMMUNITY. We all like to support eachother, and of course those that put a little effort into becoming part of that community will get a decent amount of feedback.

Haters be hatin'.

Mr_Hyde on Oct 12 '09 at 5:09pm

You say it is not a children' site. Yet you are acting like a child. Insulting people you do not know. Ranting and raving. Using profanity in a public forum. I am sure there are kids who visit this website. I am not getting involved in this whole circle of negativity. You can post as many comments as you like. I am not going to get drawn into a juvenile debate. Maybe you should ask yourself why you even care.

TheInfamousBaka on Oct 12 '09 at 5:10pm

Ahaha, I think you're pointing the "acting like a child" finger at the wrong people.

Also, bananas. And rancors.

rossmat8 on Oct 12 '09 at 5:10pm

Then your entire blog is hypocritical dude.

TheInfamousBaka on Oct 12 '09 at 5:12pm

ratkiss on Oct 12 '09 at 5:16pm

bananas are good!

Mr_Hyde on Oct 12 '09 at 5:20pm

You know what maybe your right. Maybe I am being critical, and I will stop now. However my reaction was towards 2 individuals who posted comments that were just negative, and not constructive at all. Maybe I just need thicker skin. I do not judge people or make rude comments to people I do not know. Comments like "I just hate people named Eric" How is that a constructive comment. I am being accused of acting like a baby. But I came to this forum frustrated looking for help, and instead, I get insults, then I answer those insults, and I am accused of acting like a child. I have never insulted anybody or their work on this website. all I did was respond to 2 incredibly negative comments. I am going to leave the forum now, and I am ending this cycle of negativity. For everyone who posted a positive response giving me advice thank you. For those I have offended i am sorry. I neded to learn to take even negative critism with a grain of salt.

TheInfamousBaka on Oct 12 '09 at 5:22pm

:) Just don't take this site and the people that frequent it so seriously. If you ask in a manner than is not accusatory, people will help you.

Mr_Hyde on Oct 12 '09 at 5:27pm

Thank you for your support. I really appreciate the advice. i am just going through some hard times right now. I recently lost some body close to me. I am just very frustrated, and people who make rude comments just to make rude comments are a big trigger for me. I know that in any grouping you find people who just do not care whose feelings they hurt. Anyways thanks again for the advice.

mgill52 on Oct 12 '09 at 5:28pm

"I just hate people named Eric"

that was SARCASM

mgill52 on Oct 12 '09 at 5:30pm

I think you just need to be a little more Dr. Jekyll

ISABOA on Oct 12 '09 at 5:30pm

yeah, you gotta get used to the poo flying.

and rightfully so - the poo flying is good times for the most part. You actually threw a bit yourself in making this blog.

But really, this site is as good as it gets. We actually make stuff here. How many websites actually make stuff?

Mr_Hyde on Oct 12 '09 at 5:35pm

Your right I love this sight. I think it is very cool. I just do njot see the need to insult people that I do not know.It just does not make sense to me, but whatever everybody is different.

TheInfamousBaka on Oct 12 '09 at 5:44pm

The insults are in good fun (sometimes tasteless, but ignore those). :)

Condolences on your loss, but that's no reason to take out your frustrations on strangers on the internet. Hopefully you stick around and take the time to learn why Threadless is so great for a lot of us.

mike bautista on Oct 12 '09 at 5:49pm

You have to acknowledge that you are on the internet. And considering what happens on the internet, those "negative" comments aren't all that bad. In their defense, you came in with your fingers pointing. No one means any harm, just chill and roll with the punches. Having friends here doesn't change your voting average, but it does give you lots of moral support. So in short, just don't be an asshole and have fun.

bygrinstow on Oct 12 '09 at 5:50pm

mgill52 on Oct 12 '09 at 5:28pm

"I just hate people named Eric"

Yeah... you gotta give yourself more than a month to 'get' the tone around here -- lots of these folks have been bantering with each other for years... imagine any group of old friends, who'll razz each other; sometimes to a stranger they may seem like they don't actually like each other. And they may include any random passersby who stick their heads up in their banter, too.

You can't step in and expect to understand the flow in under a month....

biotwist on Oct 12 '09 at 7:32pm

hyde bro, you started out post insulting this community and the art posted, i had no idea you where even asking for help. use paragraphs if your going use that many words.

you do need a thicker skin or you would never have been motivated to make this blog.

I happen to enjoyed arguing with people, and thread like this are just bate for me.

I work with children and if there one thing i have learned from my job its that nobody ever grows up

biotwist on Oct 12 '09 at 7:33pm

yeah and fuck people named eric.... or children reading this

ShawnLogan on Oct 12 '09 at 9:25pm

I knew it! You are all in here talking behind my back! Stop ignoring me and my posts. They're awesome and you are all jealous.

Wait, this isn't the Bea Arthur Love Doll Society? My bad. Wow, uh. Um...

Sup?

Seriously, it took some time for me to get the feel of this place. The best way is to not take it too seriously, take it in whatever doses you can handle (I often don't visit for a few weeks), and just do what you enjoy. Oh, and treat others as you would have them treat you, even the rude ones. Hope that helps.

FRICKINAWESOME on Oct 12 '09 at 9:34pm

There's lots of really helpful, positive comments towards your post here. But then there's the one i see as the most truthful and direct:

rossmat8 on Oct 12 '09 at 4:28pm

Dude your designs suck. Draw something better and stop blaming the system for your own failures.

I comment on everything and everything that makes me feel something about a person's art. so far your pieces haven't really anything from me more than a "hmm, that's not very good for a t-shirt" and move on. Horse of adifferentcolor is closing in on something, but then again it's like a not as good version of fawnfruits printed design. Just keep improving, take people's serious criticisms seriously and don't take it so hard here and have fun.

i look forward to the day when i give one of your designs a 2 or more.

rossmat8 on Oct 12 '09 at 9:37pm

I believe honesty is the best policy. If my slogans suck I want someone to tell me. Same as my collabs.

biotwist on Oct 12 '09 at 10:27pm

one of these days im going to come up with a better policy then honesty.... or at-least a good pun about it

SnakeMan on Oct 12 '09 at 11:01pm

Only got a couple negative comments, from a couple of total a##holes, but you find them in any grouping I will not mention their names.

I do not judge people or make rude comments to people I do not know.

I have never insulted anybody or their work on this website.

If the art thing doesn't work out, you should be a politician.

biotwist on Oct 12 '09 at 11:18pm

you see the comments weren't negative because they were f%%%%ng censored

ShawnLogan on Oct 13 '09 at 3:35am

rossmat8 on Oct 12 '09 at 9:37pm

I believe honesty is the best policy. If my slogans suck I want someone to tell me. Same as my collabs.

Same here. As an artist criticism is very important. The creator is too close to the work. They need input from the observer. Otherwise, besides self-fulfillment, what's the point?

ShawnLogan on Oct 13 '09 at 3:37am

biotwist on Oct 12 '09 at 10:27pm

one of these days im going to come up with a better policy then honesty.... or at-least a good pun about it

hah. so true. everything is inspiration and source material. It's the implementation that is challenging.

celandinestern on Oct 13 '09 at 3:56am

I've only been around here for a couple of weeks now, and I have to say it seems to me that good work does get a positive response, no matter whether the artists are new or have been here since forever. Of course there is a lot of down-voting, but that's the same for everyone.

plus the number of votes or comments doesn't really make your design print. If the guys up top like it, they'll pick you anyways.

Also this is an immense community, with a large number of really amazing artists, so not even all the great pieces can get printed. The printing side is a bit of skill and a bit of luck - don't hope for instant fame, just use this place as a sounding board for your work. As time goes on and your scores go higher, you'll feel you've evolved as an artist.

my two cents:

this site is absolutely amazing!

as far as i can tell, subs need to be creative and original, some how very relatable, punny or very detailed...and the medium is a t-shirt, so it has to look like people would wear it.

you have good style, very detailed work, just odd subjects or scenes sometimes...you have what it takes!

i used to spam horribly when i first became active on threadless, and i feel that i'm still recovering sometimes from it. and noobs get harrassed and initiated, there are haters for sure...it is a virtual world of avatars what do you expect...but being a noob is like pledging to be active and supportive in the community...

i really like organic music!

tadstick on Mar 29 '10 at 10:39am

oh, and being active and supportive is voting and scoring lots of slogans and subs...it is like self promotion and mutual support!

HOORAY FOR COMMUNITY!

biotwist on Mar 29 '10 at 3:37pm

i have no relocation of posting in this thread but it seems i did

Boycey on Mar 29 '10 at 3:53pm

Awesome is a terribly overused word.

I hate to say it, but Threadless is awe...well, it's brilliant anyway!

ratkiss

ratkiss on Oct 12 '09 at 4:58pm

I'm here because threadless got me drawing again.

scores - schmores!

I enjoy subbing and the lovely comments.

If anything else comes of it, well that's just a blessing. :)

That's the right attitude. I got really upset with a poster called Hmo7ster because he was saying scores are the all important.

NUMBERS ARE ABSTRACT!! STUFF GETS PRINTED AT 2.0 OR LESS! I would love to be printed, as I'd like to see someone wear my tee and get some moola -but you have to really enjoy it for the sake of it. People don't make a living from T'less (some subbers do rather well out of it tho).

My advice is, cancel this account and start a new one OR start being nice to people and respect their artwork. All of the shielded designers have worked darn hard or are extremely talented to get printed (including the wordsmiths too).

philth007 on Mar 29 '10 at 3:54pm

LOL

biotwist on Mar 29 '10 at 4:11pm

i was a huge ass also
