Threadless:a website history

A couple of days ago somebody mentioned that keyboard cat moon was one of a string of major events that have happened over the course of the history of threadless and it got me thinking, should we be chronicaling the major events?

So I decided to write a threadhistory, if anyone wants to help write entries (or improve this one, right now I'd call the first entry a draft) please do so.

P.S I'm aiming for neutrality, I'm trying to write it like a wikipedia article.

Thanks

Phil

Three Keyboard Cat Moon - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More

Three keyboard Cat Moon was a design submitted by Oxen which broke threadless records achieving the highest voting average on the sites history, earning a Final average score of 4.48 out of 5, most votes ever 3,791, most I'd buys ever and was the first tee shirt to be it should be noted that the design finished early. (printed 21/07/09)

The design was based off two popular internet memes Play him off cat and Amazon three wolves shirt

The design rapidly became popular on the wider internet, earning a total of 3585 diggs on the popular social news site digg.com

The design caused controversy because it was the first design to be promoted by threadless, which was done so on the company's facebook page, twitter accounts and boing boing.com the popular web blog.

Skaw, the sites founder opened up a debate to discuss how threadless could:

print designs quickly and promote designs fairly.

I'll be very happy when keyboard cat goes away.

stubby43 on Jul 21 '09 at 3:41pm

I think so, we could also do with one for the internet cafe thing that happened recently, I forgot the name of design so I couldnt search for it.

phillydesigner on Jul 21 '09 at 3:42pm

it should be noted that the design finished early...

phillydesigner on Jul 21 '09 at 3:43pm

when threadless started selling prints was also pretty momentous.. although they stopped making new ones..

olie! on Jul 21 '09 at 3:43pm

I believe there has been at least one other design in the past that was notified of winning before scoring finished. Although I can't remember which one/s they were.

jrmasm on Jul 21 '09 at 3:51pm

cbuchholz got an "You're a winner" email for "No Repeats" before it was done scoring.

sonmi on Jul 21 '09 at 3:51pm

party of doooooooom!

stubby43 on Jul 21 '09 at 3:51pm

Right now I'm going with the word of God a.k.a the thread news blog said it was the first until the other design is found.

I'm sort of thinking chronically everything thats happened already is way too big of a job for me to do, so keyboard cat might have to be year one.

mismonaut on Jul 21 '09 at 3:51pm

I was just starting to work on something like this.

I would love to help you with it.

stubby43 on Jul 21 '09 at 3:53pm

Mismonaut that would be awesome.

P.S should this stay on the blogs, or should a seperate site be set up?

sonmi on Jul 21 '09 at 3:54pm

blog.

Torakamikaze on Jul 21 '09 at 3:55pm

Shit happened in '06 apparently too

sonmi on Jul 21 '09 at 3:57pm

ISABOA on Jul 21 '09 at 4:12pm

moss got notified before voting ended

I think it was his spoilt shirt

not sure.... but i know it was moss

sonmi on Jul 21 '09 at 4:15pm

remember the blog blog of two thousand and blog? good bloggin'

stubby43 on Jul 21 '09 at 4:17pm

Ok I have three entries done, I might do some more from the thread past but I think I might just stick to doing events as they happen.

I dont really have the time to go through all of those major events.

sonmi on Jul 21 '09 at 4:18pm

but how is it a history without the history?!

EricDiaz on Jul 21 '09 at 4:21pm

^haha yes

skaw on Jul 21 '09 at 4:21pm

here is some history from my perspective http://www.threadless.com/profile/1/skaw/blog/227766/Threadless_com_The_History

stubby43 on Jul 21 '09 at 4:22pm

... I dont know, I'm lazy.

I guess there isnt really a time frame on doing the history stuff as long as I cover the major events when they happen.

On a related note, even if the entries are short its still going to end up being a very long blog post, any ideas on how to solve that problem?

you opened a can of worms.

go for it 100% or dont do it at all.

ISABOA on Jul 21 '09 at 4:26pm

I think the PBS special on threadlesstory should be hosted and narrated by Billy Zane

stubby43 on Jul 21 '09 at 4:29pm

I think I'm going to go for it, but I dont think its going to work as a blog on threadless, for the simple reason that we'll a mass alot of topics quite quickly.

chelly on Jul 21 '09 at 4:29pm

start when threadless started or it isn't worth it

Khol on Jul 21 '09 at 4:31pm

chelly on Jul 21 '09 at 4:29pm

start when threadless started or it isn't worth it

Definitely.

stubby43 on Jul 21 '09 at 4:31pm

p.s I'm a bit confused about the party of doom dates, the blog I found conflicts with the dates of the mish mash, I know the party of doom was earlier but I cant find a date.

chelly on Jul 21 '09 at 4:37pm

woah, i totally didn't get credit for some of that 2007 shiznit

but that's cool

whatever

*pouts*

i'm totally pleased to be reminded of a few goodies though

stubby43 on Jul 21 '09 at 4:40pm

I've no idea, I'd really like it to be a mix of things but I'm really interested in the community stuff more than the buisness things.

Also I was thinking of setting up a wiki, (like wikipedia) so that other people could add articles and edit them.

The problem is I dont have the money to buy a license which would cost either $50 or $400 wiki web

Chronicaling the history of threadless is a massive job and I honnestly dont think I can do it on my own, would anyone be up for helping out?

All you'd have to do is add a little bit here and there, even if its just creating an article you think is important to discuss.

mismonaut on Jul 21 '09 at 9:12pm

Stubby:

I was thinking that it could be a series of blog posts. Each post would be a seperate "article," and they would all be indexed in (yet another) post. So the one main blog would serve as an index page with a bunch of links, and each link would go to an article written by...well, by whomever.

So there would be a main blog titled (for example) "Threadless History Book," and then several other posts (contributed by anyone who felt they had expertise on the subject) that would be titled things like "[THB] The STP Scandal" or "[THB] The Killing Tree."

Something like that.

mismonaut on Jul 21 '09 at 9:13pm

I'd write more, but that would cause me to miss my bus, and that would cause me to be stranded downtown for another half hour.

stubby43 on Jul 23 '09 at 12:15pm

So, so sorry mismo I went to see harry potter so I didnt have time to get back to you.

Thats a far better way of doing things, maybe this blog needs to be a discussion blog for how the project works, then we have the history book plus the articles.
