Hi all,

Ok I love this design, and it scored well, but what have you gotta do to get something printed around here?!

http://www.threadless.com/submission/159228/Forbidden_Love

I've seen lots of designs score 2.something and get printed. I haven't seen many (or any) score over 3 and not get printed. Why not this one? Can someone explain?

I want this shirt!!

Nice design. It's only been 72 days though so still in with a slim shot!

How do they come to these conclusions? I'm baffled.

I have no idea, I thought a 3 was a sure print but it seems it's not, and it's not the only one of my high scores that's never printing.

And there are more people out there with unprinted high scores.

Don't hold your breath. I would like to think it's got a shot at DBH, but since it's not an all-over print I don't think it does. Woot maybe?

I noticed a while back that threadless printed a bunch of shirts that "slipped through the cracks", but i'm guessing that they were low scoring designs they thought were good. I don't get why some over 3 don't get printed, they're practically guaranteed sellers.

I hope they do the april fols day again, there are some great low scoring subs that really need to be printed.

IThey say the "I'd buy it" have a lot of importance when they pick designs for print, but since only the staff can see those we can only wonder.

I really think that Threadless has something reserved for you AB. Seriously... I think when your time comes, will be ... EPIC.

3 is no magic number unfortunately, but it's definitely a great score.

That said... print againstbound!!!

Yeah againstbound should be printed, as well as anything above 3, that's a mighty achievement!!
