I was just being bitter. I've actually been on this website for about a year, I just never bothered to sign up.
Last night while I was rating submissions, it seemed like every single shirt with text on it had been told to lose the text, regardless of the context.

Some of the shirts were bad enough that losing the text wouldn't even help it.
A few could improve by losing text, but some just didn't need to get rid of it.

And I would hope that Threadless would never sink low enough to printing Kmart style teeshirts. Have faith.

Sorry if we got off on the wrong foot.

have you ever thought about being an amputee? and only having one foot? maybe your wrong foot, and therefore never being able to do anything without getting off on the wrong foot?

WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE TEXT SO MUCH?! What did text ever do to you?

leave the text alone. in so many cases, where text is lending so much to the design for non-threadless people who won't know the clever title of the shirt, I see people..

"ohh it would be soooo goood if you lost the text. text is so lame, we need to make up a new word for lame. pyeah."

die.
