DJ FR4NK and the Z RAVE - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever


I really can't believe it happened on this one. Its been a while since I've had a design dropped early and I forgot how much it sucks. What really sucks is that I put a lot of work into this, and according to the score, this design was supposedly better....

travioli on Dec 04 '08 at 5:39pm

wow theres a lot of subs dropping early from this comp. including mine.
ginetteginette
   ginetteginette on Dec 04 '08 at 6:12pm
that's weird evan! i didn't think that was going to be a top scorer necessarily but i thought it would easily get around 2.5, no where near quality of something that should drop!

people seem to be seriously tinkering with the dropped early formula lately.

there must be something going on with the early drop system

thanks ginette, it makes me feel better hearing you say that...that's pretty much what i was thinking for the piece as well.

Sorry to take over your pity blog Trav...once again, i really liked your piece and it scored high enough to stay in the game...

Weird, I just checked this one, not utter shit but stolen, it had been on the running for about 4 days and it just dropped with a 1.84

that's crazy, i wouldn't have expected that to get dropped.

Both of those designs shouldn't have dropped, what's going on?

woah Hector i missed that design and entire plagiarism blog! haha, againstbounded!

Maybe Threadless is dropping plagiarised subs that get called out? That would be awesome....

But but but Wa5hwa5h...our ARENT plagerzed...what then the reason? WHAT THEN???
travioli
travioli on Dec 04 '08 at 10:13pm
I don't know, maybe there have been a such huge number of horror designs that threadless doesn't wanna deal with em anymore. Idunno, that's probably not the reason, but i haven't ever seen designs get dropped with these high of scores

My sub was just dropped, & it had a better score (2.01) than several ones of mine which stayed in the running. Its heartening to see im in good company though :)

hahahaha, it's okay my good man. I was hoping you wouldn't think so bad of me after this. We'll hopefully do another one...it kinda HAS to go up from there, right?????

Welshalex, i cannot BELIEVE yours got dropped and scored a 2.01...I'm REALLY not understanding what is going on here.
welshalex
welshalex on Dec 05 '08 at 5:16am
I think all but 2 of my subs have been dropped, so I wasnt surprised....i dont think it even makes me glum anymore!

I presume you guys' sub suffered at the hands of its own excellence, there definitely wasnt a more horrific sub for the comp!
travioli
travioli on Dec 05 '08 at 12:55pm
2.01 drop???? That's unheard of!!!

Hi Charles,

We just had a meeting this morning in regards to the 1.5 rule from many user's feedback, so expect some changes in the near future.

Have a wonderful day!

Doesn't Rachel sound hot?


Perhaps some of these changes have been put into action.

2.0 seems to be the new 1.5

how would you like to be a newbie here?
ginetteginette
   ginetteginette on Dec 07 '08 at 10:20am
if 2.0 is the new 1.5 all my future submissions will drop.

ratkiss on Dec 07 '08 at 10:20am
That sucks, wonder when we get to know whats going on?

squatterjohn on Dec 08 '08 at 8:16am
The 1.5 rule isn't really the 1.5 rule, they used to use 1.5 as an arbitrary cutoff point but now they use a compicated formula based on other variables. Scores overall have been higher on average lately so that might push up the average score of designs that get dropped. I've seen 1.7s or so get dropped before and if scores are higher now, perhaps a 1.7 now means a 1.5 a year ago. I still think it's quite weird seeing something break a 2 and still get dropped. Maybe it got a really low number of I'd Buy Its.

What seems most weird is that things seem to be dropping randomly mid-week, after making it through the 24 hour mark. A design also requires 100 votes before it will be dropped but I assume they are reaching that point quite early, even if voter numbers are low.

Due to inflation 1.5 is now 2.01

It's all Bush's fault, he wrecked the economy.

I also had a sub that was dropped at 1.92. And it was sad because I also put more work on it than my two earlier subs that were not dropped. I didn't really expect it to score high but didn't expect that it would be dropped early. I was just thinking that maybe it could have scored a little higher had it not been dropped.
