@ACraigL - Reverse psychology has to win! So good.
(Just edged it one closer to the fog).

Yay! It worked!

@KDemo Thanks!

@KDemo Reverse Psychology was DQ’d. I should have done an internet search first. Too good an idea to not have existed already, haha. Oh well.

@ACraigL - Awww too bad.

It’s good enough to repeat, in my opinion.

@mehbee

@ACraigL Done!

Just checking in… do most folks know this gym? They have a pretty wide national footprint, but maybe not so much in the mid-west?

@ACraigL
They are in Texas. Big cities anyway.

@f00l Cool, thanks.

@ACraigL Done, and I’m definitely in for one!

@mehbee Awesome! Hope it prints.

@jasneko I instantly know your work. Love your placement and happiness, as usual. +1

Good luck!

@ACraigL Awww thanks for saying so, appreciate it! Thank you!!

@jasneko I’ve never bought a wootshirt before but this would honestly be tempting. Awesome!

@Kawa Thanks kawa!! Unfortunately this one didn’t print, but maybe it will in the future?
Check out my other shirts in case any that printed could also tempt you;)

@ACraigL Done!

@ACraigL I love Thanksgiving Bird. Don’t have the guts to wear it though.

@sammydog01 I dunno. I’d find it appropriate to wear on Black Friday while out shopping.

Then again, I used to wear Foamy the Squirrel shirts a lot too.

@kevlar51, @mehbee Thanks!!
@sammydog01 I understand, but I can totally see myself wearing it with a sportscoat on top to dinner. You know, to class it up a smidge.

Just a heads up that I was offered a contract for “Tyrptophan” so that one will launch in a side-sale tomorrow and therefore pulled from the derby.

Thanksgiving Bird however, is still pissed off.

@sammydog01 @ACraigL same here. I wouldn’t wear it, but pretty darn funny!

@ACraigL First place!
https://shirt.woot.com/offers/thanksgiving-bird

@ACraigL Yay! I ordered one!

@therealjrn @narfcake Thanks!
Lots of hate in the sale thread… but I guess that’s to be expected. Appreciate your comments in there though.

Wondering if I should even post a simple thank you.

@ACraigL
/giphy crowd outrage

@ACraigL Congrats on that print today. I love it. I tend to not buy ‘seasonal’ shirts but I’m seriously tempted.

@ACraigL This may be the rest of my day today in the discussion thread there.

@narfcake sorry man. But this thing is selling!

@ACraigL How many so far? I expect a lot of people appreciate the sentiment.

@ACraigL No fault of your own … yet. Unlike the NES, I actually haven’t had to do any cleanup …

… yet.

@sammydog01
987
And 10 hours left!

@ACraigL I haven’t been keeping track, but that’s probably the best seller for this year. And maybe even last year’s.

@narfcake Awesome. Just about 1100 as of this post. I’m no good at projections, but 1400 seems within reach, and it’s already my top-selling design. So exciting!

@narfcake @sammydog01
New personal milestone – a #1 shirt. For those that are interested,
Debut: 1730
Ongoing: 120 (as of this post)
Total: 1850

The placement won’t hold due to the seasonality of the design, but I’ll take it while it lasts. What a day! And Fable’s cartoon was just icing on the cake. Hilarious.

@ACraigL Due to the reckoning math, it’ll probably linger on for a couple weeks after thanksgiving.

@ACraigL congrats!

@ACraigL Wow big congrats!!

@ACraigL Woohoo!

@kevlar51 gotcha!

@kevlar51 Me too.

@kevlar51 I really like this one, BTW. Great job on the expression and concept.

@ACraigL thanks!

@kevlar51 Did the text and shadows on your copy come out “muddy gray” also?

http://shirt.woot.com/offers/learning-to-fly

@narfcake yeah I need to avoid halftones there.

@kevlar51 Ah, okay. I’ll leave it out of my “need to complain to woot” pile, then.

Updated URL because it had to be on a bag or something. Blech.

@ACraigL Done!

@ACraigL Well the derby is called shipping bags

@narfcake thanks!!

@kevlar51 @narfcake Came here to say the same. Well deserved, great design.

@narfcake Congrats @kevlar51!!

@jasneko voted!

@jasneko voted

@jasneko done!

@jasneko The DTG print was fine, but the Canvas’ muted color kinda removes some of the ‘pop’. I’m almost pondering of reordering this in the future on Anvil.

@narfcake Oh darn, sorry to hear that. I got mine on anvil, and I kind of felt like the printed it too low on the shirt, which seems to be a common error with my latest prints… d’oh.

@jasneko No fault of yours; AFAIK, the templates haven’t changed since the pre-Anvil days. I should ask Ocho or Ben if updated templates are in the works or not.

As for print position (and other issues), that’s seemingly par for the course with shirt.woot in the past 5 years. Yes, “CS takes care of it” on the most part via replacements and/or refunds, but it’s still annoying that it has to be done in the first place. Or second place. Maybe third place. Occasionally fourth place too. But hey, I have one good copy out of five shirts, right!?

On a different note, the warmer yellow of Canvas’ “lemon” gives Anana! an even cheerier vibe. I’ll post some comparison pics later in the week.

@narfcake I’ve mentioned it to them multiple times (often the design is too big and too low)… I have a number of my designs with the design so low it’s too odd to wear out:/
What do you mean by “CS takes care of it”? Should I contact CS and ask for replacements then? Though some are older now… but some are more recent.

Nice to hear that about the canvas! I got mine on anvil, after you post pics maybe I’ll buy another heh! I do love the cheeriness, so even more cheer is all the better

@jasneko

(Damn. I took too long to write up the rest.)

@jasneko The print on women’s shirts was exacerbated in recent years. The “neckstretch” Anvil were almost men’s sized, so they upped the print size, but didn’t downsize it after Anvil changed their cut and reintroduced the more petite AA shirts. It doesn’t help that those operating the DTG printers aren’t grabbing the right print file all the time either, as I’ve received half-sized prints on men’s shirts before.

And yes, that’s what I meant by CS taking care of it. Making a note along the lines of “can you ask the shirt team if these are print issues?” may help it get past the level 1 CS. They aren’t always the most adept when it comes to shirt.woot specifics.

As for Anana!, left is Anvil, right is Canvas. Since it came out, I’ve worn them over a dozen times already … because not everyday is catshirt day.

@narfcake So should I write CS instead of the shirt editors then? … you’ve gotten replacements each time? I’ve gotten replacements a few times (facilitated by Ocho) but I know she/they have a lot on their plate…

Blargh blargh to the print stuff, it’s kind of frustrating that most times it’s the same problem.

@jasneko Yes. CS has replaced them every time so far. I think @acraigl has had CS replace some of his artist’s copies too.

Several were incorrect prints altogether, but a few were crooked or the wrong size print. Two replacements were for partially sent orders; a week later, I received the replacements and the remainder of the original order.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I still have like a dozen more from the past year to complain about, though. I don’t do laundry right away (for some known reason), and alas, the print didn’t survive the wash.

@narfcake Ok Thanks for this. Also, as you say you have a dozen more to complain about - I haven’t complained about many either (usually because I am slow to open packages and take a close look… and notice the low/large printing), so it’s been months since - is CS okay about that? Complaining quite later from the delivery?

@jasneko I hope they are! One that didn’t quite survive was a “spare” DTG copy of Zen Neko; I finally decided to enter it into wear rotation so I wasn’t only wearing my screened copy every time.

@ACraigL First daily, that’s great - congrats!!

@jasneko Thanks! I really didn’t ever submit dailies for the first year and half but I’ve since gotten a few ‘D’ contracts. One was in the shirt-off last week and relaunched today:

https://shirt.woot.com/offers/nap-time-2

@jasneko I love the little mouse.

@sammydog01 Thank you! The mouse was part of my original design… thought it worked here also!
I also just resubbed it with a different thumbnail so please vote again:)

Crap. 8-bit Evolution was DQd. Sad panda.

@ACraigL I don’t normally like catshirts but I like this one. Do you know which image was the problem?

@sammydog01 Thanks. No idea. It said images, so I assume more than one. I’ll need to put sunglasses on them or something.

@ACraigL not being jerky but wouldn’t have gotten hit for not original art work anyway?

@Ignorant Maybe. The likenesses are there without much parody, so I get it.

Almost forgot. @mehbee

@ACraigL LOVE the cat one!!

@ACraigL Done…still waiting for the dog to get as much attention as the cats get…lol

@mehbee I doubt that’d happen anytime soon. If you look through any of the BOC reveal threads on the main woot forum, it seems that cats ownership is much more prevalent than dogs among Wooters.

Congrats on your first place win with a catshirt, @ACraigL!

http://shirt.woot.com/offers/inevitability

@narfcake @acraigl congrats!

@narfcake Thanks narf. Was very pleased this morning. What’s even more surprising to me is that allowed it to be on Navy. Every time I’ve submitted a design on it, they swap it out with Black.

@ACraigL BTW, this is your second catshirtswoot that printed. I have full proof with copy #001!

@jasneko

@jasneko

@narfcake Yay that’s nice!! The sales for this one have been pretty low… wish I could get it to some portal fan platform!! Or maybe portal fans are few now?

@jasneko Fewer, but most substantial is how much smaller the shirt.woot audience is. 500 is the new 3,000.

@mehbee

@ACraigL Awww. Cute. So unlike you.

@sammydog01 How dare you! I’m adorable.

@kevlar51 Nice!

@jasneko I like the colors.

@sammydog01 Thanks for saying because I spent sooo long on the colors/scheme… it went from black outlines, blue, teal, green to yellow outlines/other colors, to no outlines to a few other combos and finally this!

@ACraigL gotcha

@kevlar51 Cute!

@jasneko @kevlar51 Thanks guys!

@mehbee

@ACraigL Done

@ACraigL Cute!

@ACraigL Seems on the smaller side … did they used the wrong print file (again)?

Seem’s like @jasneko’s Winter Bloom was prepped incorrectly too; I didn’t recall any borders/outlines.

Also for another design, they sent a women’s shirt instead of a men’s shirt. The order and order label are right, but they still picked the wrong shirt. QC? Still not there, it seems.

@narfcake
Lizard seems ok… matches the preview pretty well:
https://shirt.woot.com/offers/aka-lizard

And I’m happy with the placement/size on my men’s medium:

As for @jasneko’s, it looks like the color choice behind the flowers is too close the new blank color. Seems like a border but is supposed to be a darker circle behind each one. Might we worthwhile getting the spot blank color updated in the template since the supplier has changed?

@mehbee
@narfcake because there’s a cat in there.

@ACraigL Done!

@ACraigL Done. That last one is really hard to read- at least on a phone.

@ACraigL Meow!

@sammydog01 You’re not wrong. I just like it as a design piece. I like how you can only see each phrase at a time – but not both at the same time. If that makes sense. At least that’s what I see.

@ACraigL got em

@kevlar51 Thanks!

@jasneko Got it. And congrats on the blue flowers!

@jasneko You’ve had my vote since it launched. Good luck!

@jasneko Here’s hoping!

@jasneko I’m sure you’ll get an HM. Really, so cute!

@jasneko So so cute.

@ACraigL Thanks! I’ve actually been being more selective of HMs lately, turned down a bunch lately. Factors being: such a huge # of HMs, lack of promotion and very low sales… and then the longer I took to make a design, the more reluctant I’ve been feeling - just saw I was asked for it this one… but I dunno… lots of effort into this one!

@sammydog01 Thank you! Wish enough voters felt that way.

@jasneko I get that. If you find a place to sell your designs let me know – teepublic ain’t doin squat for me.

@jasneko @ACraigL Over 30+ HMs each the last couple rounds. Beyond Woot itself, there’s not much of any promotion at all. And the back catalog has gotten entirely too big, not to mention with the default of top sellers, the most popular designs are going to get the most views.

And it doesn’t help that their QC (and CS) still needs improving.

@jasneko Still in the fog, and very cute.

@OldCatLady Back in the fog, actually. It was outside of it the past few days.

Given the lack of traffic/participation there nowadays, the odds of making it up to 3rd place with one hour left to vote are about as good as the odds of @snapster selling a crazy-catshirt-collector starter kit tomorrow.

@acraigl will do. That’s good to know about teepublic actually, because someone else suggested it to me, but I haven’t joined so far.
@narfcake Yeah, I just don’t understand the HUGE HM sales plus lack of attention/promotion. It’s kind of the opposite of how woot started (very selective and limited). I appreciate the catalog, but… yeah all the things you said.

@OldCatLady Didn’t finish there unfortunately, but thanks, appreciate it!

@jasneko What is a “HM”?

@therealjrn HM = honorable mention. For those contracts, it’s $0 upfront, $2 per sale, and Woot holds printing rights perpetually.

The issue isn’t the payout, but because they’ve been handing out HMs like crazy (30+ each derby recently), the sales are extremely thin. The catalog sales cannot be relied upon, as I have designs that haven’t sold anything for well over a year.

For one, I was the only sale. So the artist basically “sold” their design to Woot for $2.

@therealjrn Yup, what @narfcake said. With the many ongoing side sales (and high number of shirts in each sale), it seems like tons of these designs go mostly unnoticed… d’oh Seems a strange system!

@sammydog01
According to @narfcake, it was the best debut all year. It’s crazy to me that I made the list so soon after the design launched, but I’m crazy happy about it. It was #1 for a little while, until simic schooled me.

Thanks for the mention!

@ACraigL For a little while, it was the best selling kids shirts too.

Today’s design may end up as the lowest selling daily ever, though. Only 9 sold so far.

@narfcake Kid’s? That’s just wrong.

@sammydog01 And small kids:

Size 4! – I want to party with those parents.

@sammydog01 I’m not lying! @ACraigL posted this in the forum:

I mean, who’s to discriminate that they might be for kids that have lost some fingers to frostbite or something?

ETA: Nice ongoing number! Feel free to repost @Fablefire’s art yourself, though.

@narfcake I don’t know how woot can justify paying $1000 for shirts that sell so poorly. Wondering how long that can go on. Or maybe they’ve already figured out something between side-sales and better performing shirts (like mine, or simic’s).

@ACraigL I have no idea. Maybe there’s something else going on behind the scenes with the artist, what with his Nope turning out to be non-exclusive? I don’t know.

Shirt.woot is like the only remaining site to have any upfront commission. All the other major sites are per sale and non-exclusive.

Maybe legal manages to extract $$ from other sites/design thieves too? That’d be nice.

@narfcake How many so far for today’s shirt? Hard to tell from the map.

@ACraigL As of this post, 26.

(Don’t look at the map; look at the percentage of sales per hour. That makes it easier to calculate.)

@ACraigL Up to 36 now.

Come to think of it, I don’t recall what the last lowest seller is now.

@narfcake “Up” to 36. Wow. Yeah, not sure how you find out the lowest-selling featured design vs. plus sale. Hmm.

@ACraigL IIRC, catshirtswoot sold 43 on April 1. Granted, that’s an internal design, so it didn’t “cost” anything, and it has very limited appeal outside of catshirtswoot fans, but it’s still low.

@Ignorant I dont get it.

@taternuggets me either man. I’m just told what to draw.

@Ignorant Voted

@ACraigL thanks man, got yours too.

@Ignorant Since I voted for this an explanation would be welcome.

@sammydog01 Thanks for the vote!

You’d need to ask old man @taternuggets.
Something to do with the lyrics to Walking in a Winter Wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he’s a circus clown

@sammydog01 When originally released the song was pretending the snowman was Parson Brown and he was marrying the couple that were walking in the winter wonderland… it was decided that this was too scandalous for children… people shouldn’t be getting married all willy nilly like this… so the song changed the snowman to a circus clown. Later versions contain both verses.

@ACraigL Oh, I do like vennforlife

@ACraigL gotcha

@therealjrn Thanks!

@mehbee

@ACraigL Got them.

@sammydog01 Thanks sammy!

@ACraigL Done, first derby in a long while where there were a whole bunch of shirts I’d wear.

@mehbee Awesome! Aside from mine (snicker), which ones? Is it the Trumps?

@ACraigL I love the Tenionaire, the Girl Power ones(well most of them), the one with the silhouette of a girl with a pony tail and it has the #metoo…those are the ones I remember

Tenionaire printed today!
Merry Christmas everyone.

https://shirt.woot.com/offers/tenionaire

@ACraigL Where would we be without Hollyweird? heh heh I completely agree, (especially lately) but it’s just a wee bit over the line, Mr Whiiskers voted for it.

@therealjrn I’m confident it will get DQ’d but I thought it was funny, and on theme.

@ACraigL Unfortunately, you’re probably right. I tried to think of a way to work in robes, or showers, or potted plants, or something but came up dry. lol

@taternuggets is the one on the left wearing a jesters hat?

@Ignorant If you want it to be, yes.

@taternuggets I don’t get it either @ignorant but I like it.

@taternuggets perfect, then you got my vote.

@taternuggets Gotcha Tater. Dali would be proud.

@taternuggets I seriously hope that they are giving you an editor’s choice… crazy you didn’t make the side sale.

@ACraigL eh… can’t win em all… it was kind of a weird design and ended up falling out of favor with the voters… usually how it happens whenever I use those chickens but I like them so I keep doing it… thanks though.

@taternuggets Ha. I don’t know anything about weird designs.

@taternuggets I love those chickens.

@sammydog01 thanks!

@taternuggets oh I get this one now, is it too late for me to vote?

@Ignorant no

@taternuggets shit!

@taternuggets I like the chickens. Nice print out and it perfectly suits with the color. I just had difficulty knowing what’s behind the concept of it but as I was scrolling, looking for my bet design on this thread, I was struck with your design. Good job though. Keep it up!

@jasneko Cute!

@jasneko Adorbs. Daughter wants one.

@ACraigL awww that makes my morning!! Doubt it’ll print at the rate it’s going though, oh well.

@jasneko Still early, never know. I’m hoping I get a bizzarro nomination for my cannibalistic cupid.

@ACraigL Like the idea, but a little hard to actually read

@compunaut Thanks for the feedback. I didn’t want it obvious, more like finding out it says something, then putting it all together in an ah-hah moment. I liked the interactions of the lettering, becoming more design than headline, if that makes sense.

But it’s more than possible I took that too far. Time will tell. I do appreciate you saying something. More than anything I just like trying new things every time.

@jasneko Gotcha +1

Bump because this is currently just outside the fog by a couple votes. And catshirtswoot could use some more catshirts.

@narfcake Thanks narf! I was sad seeing it drop out of the fog - right now I see it’s back in there - here’s hoping!

@jasneko I missed this one so have another vote.

@sammydog01 Yay!

@jasneko Currently, 7 of the 9 in the fog are catshirts.

@narfcake Mine dropped out again! D’ohhh. Though weirdly my hamster one seemed to have revved from the middle of the pack into the fog when I looked today?!? Confusing…

@jasneko Cute!

@kevlar51 Just bought this

@jasneko thanks so much!

@kevlar51

@narfcake thanks! I’m not sure what they changed, but the DTG printing on this one was the best I’ve seen from them.

@kevlar51 I know there’s been improvements from time to time, both at the pre-processing and equipment level. Woot/Amazon uses Kornit Avalanche DTG printers.

Maybe they compared their DTG with one from their competition? Screened on the left, DTG on the right from a “just in case we run out of a stock when there should still be some left” order last year.

@giraffalot

Never played D&D, though you’d probably be hard-pressed to find mehmbers who are old enough to remember it yet never heard of it.

@ACraigL Yeah, you probably wouldn’t want that kind of system.

@jasneko and @fishbiscuit, OTOH …

@narfcake This is (again) a no-cat derby. But truth.

@ACraigL The low voter turnout would also exacerbate the matters worse.

@narfcake I see walmazan did the ‘covfefe’ shirt. Shouldn’t that be a separate derby?

@OldCatLady IMO, There’s so many of these out there already, it probably should be DQ’d. But I’ll leave that to the powers that be. I’m in agreement that it’s not really on theme, other than having a sun on it.

@sammydog01 If you forget you’re smart, let me know. Happy to remind you.

@ACraigL pay @OldCatLady no mind. She’s old, and possibly likes cats.

@kevlar51 She’s old, she swore off horror movies after ‘Cujo’, and she’s limited to one cup of coffee a day, which limits braining. Cats are still assholes.

@OldCatLady I’d like to subscribe to your newsletter.

@kevlar51 Expect photos of men in kilts.

@sammydog01 Nice!

@sammydog01 That is a very specific type. Where’s the other end of that rope?

@ACraigL Maybe “women in potato sacks”?

@kevlar51 gotcha back

@kevlar51 Voted

@ACraigL Thanks and congrats on being the featured design! I know exactly what you mean, I felt the same way the few times mine was!

@kevlar51, too! Sorry man!

@ACraigL Replace the robot with a cat for an even better effect.

@narfcake Considered it, but thought the open-ended derby would result in an onslaught of felines.

Related – TeeTurtle had a huge booth at the Boston Comic Con. It was pretty impressive.

@ACraigL got em all!

@ACraigL Surprisingly, not too many cats submitted so far.

From what I’ve heard, they get very busy. Like insanely busy. Like oops-we-thought-we-brought-enough-stock-for-the-weekend-except-we-sold-out-in-a-day kind of busy … which I suppose is a good “problem” for a business to have?

(Hopefully that was just a past problem. I suppose graduating John Hopkins with a BA in neuroscience doesn’t prepare someone to run a business selling t-shirts with bunnies, cats, pandas, or turtles.)

@mehbee

@ACraigL Liked. Thanks for putting a title on the third one so I would figure it out.

@sammydog01 Thanks sammy! I know it won’t last, but I’m amused that one is in the fog for now. I didn’t put a lot of artistic energy into it (obviously) but somehow I thought that added to the joke. I guess folks find it funny enough at the moment.

Really hoping Hugs & Extinction pulls through – that was where most of my time went.

@ACraigL Hugs and Extinction was my favorite. Cute and scary.

@ACraigL voted on all three

@jasneko saw that! Woo hoo!

@jasneko Voted both. Good luck!

@jasneko gotcha on both–nice work

@jasneko Voted- I really like the apple one.

@narfcake @sammydog01 Thanks! Really surprised this took the top spot.

@narfcake congrats @acraigl ! nice win

Oops I meant to post this here but accidentally did it in its own post. Congrats @acraigl!! :

Thanks, @jasneko I’ll take 'em both.

@jasneko Voted!

@jasneko I think you have a real shot with this one. Good luck!

@ACraigL Thanks… I’m amazed it’s still in the fog… been so long since one has stuck. Hoping hoping hoping!

@jasneko voted

@narfcake @jasneko Came to say the same thing. SO MANY OPTIONS. Congrats!!!

@jasneko Just saw your bio – didn’t know you were in the Philly area?

@ACraigL I blame @kidsandliz you that you didn’t know that.

Did you also know that the neko (猫) in @jasneko is Japanese for cat?

@narfcake Thanks!!! Was really happy about the editor’s choice pick - and even better with the options! Will be my first woot V-neck!
@ACraigL Yup! And also as narf said, neko =

@ACraigL And right after I write that… it drops out of the fog

@jasneko Well you’re back in now. Don’t feel too badly, mine tumbled out and lost all momentum. It’s so weird (for both of us) when you get so many votes up front and then nothing the last 2 day. And it’s not my “friends” either… I don’t have 49. Between here and woot, it’s probably closer to 12. On a good day.

That said, I prefer to be #10 than lower in the fog. At least then my disappointment is held in check.

C’mon honorable mention

@narfcake Wait wait holdup… I just went to order myself a V-neck, and don’t see those options there anymore. Are the alternate options only available on the first day?? Did I really miss the V-neck? ARrrgh!

@jasneko Yep. Launch day only.

@ACraigL Arrrrr!!! Is that always the way it is? I guess because in the side sales they sometimes have sweatshirts, etc then those are available all week right? Man I can’t believe I missed those other options

@jasneko I have an extra sweatshirt; apparently they can’t count.

How has your recent track record been? Neither @acraigl or I have had much luck recently.

@ACraigL Got them.

@mehbee

@ACraigL gotcha

@sammydog01 @kevlar51 Thanks guys!

@ACraigL voted yesterday, though I’m one of very few that can’t stand candy corn. blah…

@daveinwarsh Thanks! But you like Austin Powers, right?

@ACraigL Everyone does!!

@ACraigL done!

@ACraigL The distressing is unnecessary, what with Woot doing it automatically through misprinting anyway.

@narfcake Haha, yeah. The misprint thread is getting WAY too active.

@mehbee

@ACraigL got em both

@ACraigL Done

@ACraigL Me too.

@ACraigL @narfcake I’m pretty dismayed at the constant misprints/mistakes… it’s dejecting. I have a pile of my own designs that are too low or other issues. My last HM prints had a whole slew of problems with the textures and one had to be vastly changed… d’ohhh. Still working on getting that updated.

@ACraigL Threads. The QC thread from 5+ years is active again too.

@jasneko It absolutely is. As ACL posted in the thread there, it’s mind boggling how they’ve been printing for over 10 years and still has all these issues. There’s only so many regular customers left that haven’t been so peeved that they stop buying all together.

@narfcake It’s the only comment wajeremy didn’t respond to, either.

@ACraigL Seeing how several of my posts lack direct acknowledgement, I’m wondering why it’s not shirt.woot staff posting the responses in the thread instead.

@jasneko Nice!

@jasneko Gotcha!

@kevlar51 Back at 'cha.

@kevlar51 Done

@kevlar51 Maple chocolate? Ewww. Voted anyway.

@kevlar51 Congrats!

@jasneko Got 'em both. Good luck!

@jasneko gotem

@jasneko Done

@jasneko The flowers are really pretty.

@sammydog01 Thanks all! Stayed in the fog all derby but just got the email about including it in the Editor’s Choice sale… so guess it isn’t near the top, d’oh Still hoping for some sudden flux of votes!!

@jasneko Tied in 4th place.

@narfcake yup

@ACraigL

@mehbee
@narfcake (the most cats I ever had on one shirt, but counter-balanced by a giant dog head)

@ACraigL Doge head. I can read, you know!

@OldCatLady Ha! Totally meant ti type that. Stupid autocorrect.

@ACraigL
/image odd toe co wreck

Downvoted

@medz

@ACraigL OK I voted for it. Happy?

@sammydog01 Yep!

@jasneko voted

@sammydog01 @jasneko +1

@jasneko got the second one… didn’t realize the first was yours, so going back now

@jasneko done!

@ACraigL hehe yeah I can imagine, I rarely do text shirts, and this one is a totally different style (I used a brush pen on paper - trying to learn new ways of lettering!)

@jasneko No print issues this time!

(The flash and resizing the pic washed out the brush effect, but it’s definitely there.)

Indeed, all 13 shirts in the order came out fine. I think this one order makes it the longest of “no-complaints” I’ve had all year!

@narfcake Aww looks great! Love that kitty up there too. Yay brush effect!! (Thanks for posting as I actually missed ordering this!)

@jasneko The cat was holding the shirt down.

I’ve since purchased the tabby (arrived today) and then in a later order a (random?) 3-pack too. In hindsight, I probably should have just gone with the remaining 5 instead.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

https://www.teeturtle.com/products/starter-bundle-3-reversible-cat-plushies

I wonder if Diana’s foxes will become plushified in the future …

@jasneko Voted cat already, going back for turntable.

@jasneko I like the record player!

@sammydog01 Thank you! I’ve had many variations on this design, it’s definitely one I would like to wear

@jasneko I’m still the only buyer for Circle of Nyan so far.

32 HMs in the side sale + 7 HMs so far in today’s shirt woot-off. It’s getting nearer and nearer to the point in which a derby submission = a print.

@narfcake Which doesn’t make me feel any better that I haven’t had anything print since my Bird.

@narfcake Man. They wanted my other design too but I passed… was unsure on giving this one but I’ve passed on so many lately so I figured I’d try this one. I just don’t get it… I’ve asked repeatedly if they have more plans for promotions/exposure but no answer. Maybe because there is none?

@narfcake The HMs in the shirt-off don’t make much sense to me. If they didn’t have enough shirts to do the shirt-off, why did they bother doing it at all?

@ACraigL Your guess is as good as mine. Alternatively, an hour per shirt would have meant fewer designs needed.

@jasneko It really doesn’t seem like it. I will say that at least they’re running Google adwords, but I don’t think there’s any remarketing efforts (ads that follow through to other sites) like what other sites have done.

Status quo that still mostly relies on Woot’s customer base might be keeping the shirt.woot going, but alas, any growth is going to be slow.

@jasneko Meow.

@narfcake Nice! Looks like the distressing came through… was worried about that.

@ACraigL Got them.

@mehbee

@ACraigL Done.
