Wow, it seems like a ton of the big buck loves threadless designs are dropping out early. Mine did, and I didn't think it was THAT bad (but I'm biased, of course!)...

...seems that some people don't realize that these shirts are supposed to be on a specific theme. (One person, whose comments I read on several designs, kept wondering what was up with the "influx" of antlers, guns, huntings, etc.) It's a shame, 'cause lots of the designs that were dropped really fit the spirit of the game. I guess the computer does a tally of scores, buy requests, etc. and drops you automatically, regardless of how well your design may fit a theme. Anyway, anyone else have thoughts on this phenomenon? Any other loves contests where you noticed good (or at least decent!) designs dropping out early?

Sigh. Sucks to be dropped after all the work. :( But I'll keep at it! Damn you clueless voters who wouldn't know a loves contest if it bit 'em on the ass! (fist shaking, teeth clenching, looking ominously at sky....)
