What makes you (made you) come to threadless...and stay?

I know this has been asked a million different ways and in probably 85 different surveys, but...

I'm doing a little research on this for a potential crowdsourcing endeavor of my own, and was curious as to what gets you, or got you, or both to come here, stay, and vote, and design in as many or as little words as posssible?

A friend was wearing an awesome tee and I asked him where he got it. Once I saw some of the awesome work I decided to give it a go. I stay becasue of the awesome group of people that submit and score on designs. It really is a community here more so than a lot of other sites.

Found it through mintees several years ago, saw the winners got $2K, thought it was a typo, bought some shirts, did some collabs. Wanted to be a part of the community so I wouldn't come across as a jerk just promoting his stuff, so I joined the blogs, and it turns out people on Threadless are funny and creative. Who would've thought?

what got me here: i read about it from a short blog by seth godin who called it "the" company that actually respects the artist (or something to that effect)... big, big words, so i just had to see for myself.

what made me stay: all of the above

hi ho!

it was a chance encounter

jeffreyg on Feb 12 '12 at 6:42pm

danmaltz is why i came here AND stayed

taz-pie on Feb 13 '12 at 6:22am

i love this place. the blogs aren't as downright hilarious and interactive as they used to be, but i stay for the nostalgia.

Phauxe on Feb 13 '12 at 6:32am

Love art, Love shirts, its a win win. The people here are awesome to boot.

Maltzmania on Feb 13 '12 at 9:47am

taz-pie why do you think that happened?

toopersent on Feb 13 '12 at 9:52am

I can't even remember how I found Threadless. But I stay for the jokes. Also, I have gotten so much better artistically just from observing all the different styles of amazing artists that get printed and trying to emulate certain things.

But mainly dick jokes.

jeffreyg on Feb 13 '12 at 9:55am

it's obviously the people. the regulars. everyone got so accustomed to and comfortable coming back everyday to the same crowd, that the second they moved on and did other things with their life, the blogs became not as active and fun anymore.

But mainly dick jokes.

About Jeff's lack of girth.

can a man not love sprots without being exceptionally good at them and playing them all the time?

CAN A MAN NOT LOVE T-SHIRTS WITHOUT HAVING TO BE EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD AT T-SHIRTS AND WEARING THEM ALL THE TIME?

I ASK YOU THIS THE GODS.

taz-pie on Feb 13 '12 at 2:50pm

Spacemitch completes me.

maddingo on Feb 13 '12 at 2:52pm

I had a few friends that wore T-less shirts and thought they were fun. Hopped on here and saw that I could make my own designs. I was new to Illustrator but figured wth and gave it a shot. Some (most) of my designs were pretty bad, but I kept trying and have gotten somewhat better, though I would say only about 3 or 4 of my designs are any good/printable.

I started chatting with the peeps in the "Percentage Blowwwg" (mainly Marbs, C Pie, Wotto and Kitten, Lordog and a few others who would stop by from time to time) and built some strong friendships. Some of us have met up a bunch of times irl, too.

Now I pretty much just pop in here a few times a week to chat/joke with friends, flirt with cute boys and occasionally (harmlessly) torture a clueless noob or troll.
