Re: College Madness

Well, I'm a noob. It looks like it squished my jpeg a bit but oh well. Anyway, this isn't really supposed to be confined to just college, but it best defines my college experience. I would always drink in an effort to meet women and end up just passing out instead. Which is the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results (the caption before I realized I couldn't use text).

LoL...so true...so true...

Re: College Madness

While the shirt does illustrate a form of madness, it is too specific to generate a lot of votes and even then, not a lot of shirt sales. Since woot prints children's shirts as well as those for adults and pretend adults, this may not be what they are looking for.

Jus tnotices that your shirt is a different color than your thumbnail. This has been a reason for rejecting in the past.

I don't know if you're part of the woot staff or just a concerned citizen of the forum. Given that this is my first submission and that I'm not going to "win" or even receive an honorable mention I'm surprised you've returned to my design twice to criticize it. That being said I'll consider what you've said for my next submission.

Not Staff. Staff looks like this. Volunteer Mods have a title with their little box over there (<---) as well.

I'm not sure if you intended it, or if it just comes off that way in the way written posts without benefits of expressions do, but it sounds like your kind of down on mjc613 having left the posts... just FYI, I'm pretty sure s/he was trying to leave you helpful hints for future submissions, in case you actually want to try to be successful. Both of the comments left are typical of what most helpful people pass on to newbies so they can learn the ropes.

Also, the thing about rejections - most people will tell you when they see you've done something that will cause a rejection... because if you're actually trying to get votes and possibly win, it's better for you to resubmit a version that will pass the rejectionator sooner, rather than wait to be rejected, then submit late in the game (you don't usually get as many votes that way).

Anyway, like I said, I may have misinterpreted your post, because it's hard to tell without being able to interpret your tone. But shirt.woot has a well-developed community, and I think those were well-intentioned posts. Though I'm sure you'll inevitably get a lot harsher ones, too, if you stick around ^_^

I'm quite sure the comment was meant as helpful. And lots of us comment on lots of designs, whether in the fog or not. Yeah, there's a lot of carping and a lot of cheerleading, but folks around here can actually be pretty darned helpful, too.

Weird, TT, your post looks just likeeveryone else's right now. Collateral damage from whatever you folks are doing down there in Texas?
