It seems like most people like the ring of "subtard", so the only thing left to do is try it out on the original post:

You know what I'm talking about.

Typically, like a votard, the subtard is at highschool and has absolutely no idea of what constitutes effective t-shirt design.

Much like the votard, who scores good designs terribly due to its crippling stupidity and ignorance, the subtard will submit terrible designs and expect them to print.

When the subtard discovers Threadless, it thinks, that is the easiest way to make 2000 bucks I have ever seen.

The subtard does absolutely no research before submitting its design. The subtard does not score designs. It is not unusual to discover that the subtard has one design in the running and has scored one submission, giving an average score of 5.00 . This means the subtard does not have any clue of what is actually likely to print on Threadless or how voters typically react.

The subtard does not use the Critiques.

Subsequently, the subtard will submit something that sucks.

The subtard believes that having 30 friends vote 5$ for its design will be enough to pull its average up.

When its design fails to break a 1.6 and is dropped, the subtard will go to the "Changes to the 1.5 rule" blog to complain about this "new" rule. If the subtard is really stupid, it will go to the "Important New Scoring Functionality" blog to complain and will tell everyone how its design scored more than 1.5 .

The subtard will not use this as an oppurtunity to learn and improve.

Crap works, definitely. But where's the pun? We can do better. We need puns here.

Well I'm like just the normal person version of a votard, so I think that just makes me a tard. Hence the no pun

I'm leaning towards subtard too. It doesn't give them status as a designer and fits in quite well with the Threadless vernacular.

Also, "sub" is a good pun.

Subtard works.

I propose we also come up with names for:
- those whose designs make no sense without the caption or story they tell
- those who insist on subbing all the cliche stuff that has already been done to freakin' death
- those who just do a livetrace or mashup clipart and photoshop brushes and call it design

We need names for them, too. ;o)
ISABOA
ISABOA on Apr 27 '08 at 2:07pm
I think we need to come up with a name for those who always try and classify people -

@ ISABOA - You know there are two kinds of people...those who believe anything can be classified into two categories, and those who don't. ;o)
