I was at a different, somewhat lame t-shirt site, and someone said that the shit there didn't nearly compare with threadless.com, so I decided to check it out.

Been here ever since.

todiefor on Nov 11 '07 at 11:14am

I don't think I even remember anymore.

was just looking around I guess, but no one told me.

queris1 on Nov 11 '07 at 11:16am

my brother and sister out of law told me. hundreds of dollars, blog responses and scored submissions later--here i am. there was also an article in the ny times about it

namE. on Nov 11 '07 at 11:17am

I was searching the web for t-shirt graphics, and a forum recommended this site for fresh limited designs.

professorE on Nov 11 '07 at 11:19am

What happened yesterday that brought you here?

hanzabean on Nov 11 '07 at 11:25am

I followed E here.

hanzabean on Nov 11 '07 at 11:26am

Also, I'm exactly 1 year older than you on threadless.

professorE on Nov 11 '07 at 11:29am

She kids because she loves.

hanzabean on Nov 11 '07 at 11:29am

i was about to shank some guy and he's all like "No! You'll ruin my threadless shirt!"

synecdoche on Nov 11 '07 at 11:36am

Last December I searched for some slogan tees to buy for my brother for Christmas, and threadless came up.

I ended up buying shirts for me and not for him, though.

I crawled in through a little hole in the ground.

I actually arrived here when the creator of the webcomic Ctrl+Alt+Del posted something about Threadless on his frontpage. It was interesting, I checked it out, and here I am two years later (though on a different account than I originally started).

Breasticles!

hanzabean on Nov 11 '07 at 11:47am

BREASTIKLES!

lol @ me putting that as an answer to a bonus question on an ap art history test.

lol @ art history inside jokes

Chipmnk on Nov 11 '07 at 11:48am

Hahaha, wow.

hanzabean on Nov 11 '07 at 11:51am

Well. I had no idea. Someone put that as an answer to a slide with a sculpture with like 5,000 breasts. It was actual Artemis I think, but Breastikles is more fun.

ir0cko on Nov 11 '07 at 11:54am

Ste7en on Nov 11 '07 at 11:55am

I bought her a drink, and one thing lead to another...before long...I was in threadless...too far? shoulda stopped at the premise?

Joelnz on Nov 11 '07 at 11:58am

we had lectures on crowdsourcing, threadless was given as an example

brownstar on Nov 11 '07 at 12:00pm

Someone's avatar was flowers in the attic and I asked where it was from. First shit I bought and have been here since.

Late August 2K4, friend Jamie got Afternoon Delight for my birthday present. I lurked for months then officially signed up just to leave rude comments on ugly subs.

xnarx on Nov 11 '07 at 12:58pm

How did I get here?

I saw an ad on a website about Threadless.

I accidently clicked it and ever since then I've been here.

It's going to be a year in january since I found this site.

Bramish on Nov 11 '07 at 1:00pm

I was linked to Ask Me How I Became A Pirate whilst Google searching something a couple of years ago.

phones on Nov 11 '07 at 1:01pm

i was shoppng for a Battle Royale shirt on airside.com

there was a link.

i clicked the link.

i saw the Heroes in an Art Shell tshirt and peed my pants.

Shimala lent me a spare pair to walk home in if i just promised to by a new shirt every week forever.

sonmi on Nov 11 '07 at 1:02pm

i was into urban/graffiti-inspired art in 2003, and my friend who had similar interests told me about threadless, which was printing shirts of that nature at the time.

phones on Nov 11 '07 at 1:03pm

urban/graffiti-inspired art is so 2003

I went through the back door and have attached myself to this site ever since like a vampire onto a gaping wound.

That and I was searching for "funny shirts" in google and came upon this place, and got more than i ever bargained for.

Mojie on Nov 11 '07 at 1:04pm

You know, I don't really remember. I found Threadless quite a while ago and liked some of the shirts but couldn't see fit to spend $17/$40 on them. So I didn't buy anything and set it aside.

Then for some reason, I felt the need to look again and fell head over heels. Nothing had really changed. The prices were the same, some of the same designs were still up for sale. I guess I just had a change of heart and I haven't looked back.

FRICKINAWESOME on Nov 11 '07 at 1:07pm

By the way, i really miss the gold bling dollar sign chain that came down on the Threadless insignia when i first started lurking here about two years ago.

phones on Nov 11 '07 at 1:10pm

*tells on sonmi to his mum*

Jason Turner on Nov 11 '07 at 1:37pm

some cool stories, i got into just from looking for some t-sirts with deers on it and voila- threadless came up

Twiggyhall on Nov 11 '07 at 1:43pm

I was chasing a rabbit and fell into this hole...

iPear on Nov 11 '07 at 1:51pm

My drug supplier referred me.

littlem on Nov 11 '07 at 1:54pm

my brother wanted me to check out his designs!

iPear on Nov 11 '07 at 1:56pm

I remember getting owned by the hitler dudes.

FRICKINAWESOME on Nov 11 '07 at 1:56pm

Why must you lie so much to us ipear?

littlem on Nov 11 '07 at 1:58pm

Lying takes the sad out of us!

littlem on Nov 11 '07 at 1:58pm

oops, maybe that was Crying...

iPear on Nov 11 '07 at 1:59pm

I must remain an enigma, like how sometimes your door randomly shuts, or closes randomly, and you think it's a ghost, but in reality it's some physics related crap, but you can't explain it, so it's like a mystery.

I'm as mysterious as a randomly opening/closing door.

shibby558899 on Nov 11 '07 at 2:06pm

I was on a forum that i was a regular on (I was a mod) and one of the guys posted about how he bought a shirt from here. It was Jublin's "Of The Dead." I remember really liking it so i came here to check it out. Then i looked at some of the other designs. I liked them, but I didn't have a card so i never bothered with the site. Then a while later, i felt the urge to check the site out again and fell in love. 1.33333333 years later, here I am.

deboraborialis on Nov 11 '07 at 2:07pm

My friend at work said all the cool kids were doing it, so I Succumbed to peer pressure. I bought FITA and then was hooked.

iPear on Nov 11 '07 at 2:08pm

Actually, to be honest, I bought some shirts from random websites, and I randomly found Threadless through that, and I was wowed by the fact that members actually submitted all the designs, and I'm like "wow, I should submit" and here I am, more than a year later, and I've submitted 120492039 designs on my alt. account.
