politics wouldnt be so rough if people were a bit more open to other views - but that will never happen, and the childish arguing will continue!

"Wah, wah. I dont understand why I dont get any loves on my amazing t-shirt designs. All Emptees members like is gore and zombies and skulls. Every other tee is a skull. Skulls and zombies are stupid and overdone. I mean, Im not trying to bash you, Im just trying to understand. So please dont take it the wrong way "
Those types.

I want a logo & 2 killer T-shirts designs and i have $50
jimmyheartcore said about 1 month ago
Dude, you basically singled me out. I could have said much worse.
That would be like me quoting something you said and then saying,
"I hate it when people submit the same shirt 'design' over and over again with a different twist on it and think its something new and creative."

LESS DRAMA MORE ART
I also really fucking hate music threads, it seems like its HS all over again (usually it was me bashing other people but still!). There is now a raprock thread.... /facepalm
I dont mind shit like recommends you music, but shit like the hardcore thread where all it was "OH MY GOD, THATS NOT HARDCORE ENOUGH! I ONLY LISTEN TO BLACK DICKS...THEIR '93 STUFF...THATS HARDCORE!"

comments like that you have no idea of there age or level everyone has to start somewhere and there is always someone better so knocking people on their ability isnt nice
Tender Branson said about 1 month ago
I agree that this is your fault.
jimmyheartcore said about 1 month ago
I can neither confirm nor deny that this is your fault.
You should quit now, then.
DrewGliever said about 1 month ago
I totally agree - Im just joking about the people that tender lovsin was talking about.. the ones that come in here, bash everything, and then upload 10 middle school level tees at once.

People asking for Jimmy or Cole to reply to their emails. Its annoying on a normal day, but even more so on the weekend.
jpolo said about 1 month ago
There are a lot of great designers on this site. I am tired of some people treating the threads like a game and being childish posting things off topic and being sarcastic all the time. If you dont have something of benefit to say on the thread dont type anything so the site can keep its merit and not become a place that people speak of in a negative light. Basically, have fun but be professional (More Often)!

jelly said about 1 month ago
Sorry but I have to say this.
Its not like the threads have vague titles. If youre not into it, dont click on it. This is a community containing many self employed people so obviously were are going to be passionate about politics. Especially given the state of our economy and the magnitude of the upcoming election.
But to get back on topic-Vague Thread Titles
dustinnance said about 1 month ago
Hey what do you mean man? I dont understand this sentence.
"Crazy" Mike said about 1 month ago
Your selling price is too low . . . which is bad for him cuz then he looks overpriced and bad for you cuz youre selling yourself short
dustinnance said about 1 month ago
Oh, Im just starting out and I would think of it as a joke to sale my designs for anything more than $50. You get what im saying at all?
I could see how it would effect you if my designs are cheaper, but I dont really think my stuff is all that good yet.
ez-kun said about 1 month ago
just wait until you get better than. imagine that a customer would want to buy something from me with 200 lets say when you and others ask 4 times less. no matter the quality and stuff, they wont buy from me because they will say "i must be able to find someone who does this just as good for at least two times less".
and let me tell you, your design is not worth 50$ just because you think so. its all a matter of rewuest and fashion. you could do a 30 minutes thingy and sell it for 300 if the client really wants it.
hope you catch my/.our drift
AND, on topic..long offtopics like this one:)
hideyourarms said about 1 month ago
Vague thread titles annoy me, I know most people keep it specific (bravo!), but I dont want to spend time clicking on threads that just say "I need help" or "whats the deal with this?" when I end up not interested in the topic.

Bandwagon hoppers and arse kissers. Far too many on this site.

might be getting a little tired of seeing zombie designs - but that seems to be the fad here or maybe kyle is just posting to much lol :D
forloveofOCTOBER said about 1 month ago
i used to get my boxers in a bunch when people were ass holes to me on this site. but then i got used to and realized its the interenet. haha. i still do my thing and i still make money regardless of how many empteers love my work. its jsut a cool place to go where people do what i do (better than i do, more often than not).
but one thing that does bug me is ass-kissers
shantyshawn said about 1 month ago
Exactly. Its no different than people posting threads touting their new lines/products. I imagine its why Emptees has a hype/shameless self promotion category. Being an artist is all about networking and marketing yourself. No marketing, no visibility, no jobs, no pay, stay at McDonalds, girlfriend/boyfriend leaves you for good looking paid designer, long hours spent crying and drinking, children point and laugh at the penniless artist who has way too many cats.

illdthedj said about 1 month ago
people needlessly being an asshole because they can feel good about themselves while hiding behind the internet. just shit talking in general. i know its the internet, but if people here are trying to be professional designers and/or printers then maybe they should try to act somewhat professionally. for instance, i might not be printing anything myself as of yet, but one dood working for a printer i was thinking of printing with has really turned me off to printing with them, simply because of some off handed asshole remarks theyve made on here. like i said, sure, its the internet, people are going to be assholes, deal with it...but just for advices sake, if you are on here to become a better tshirt designer, or just want to upgrade your skills as a professional designer, i would think its good practice to act somewhat professionally on emptees...or at least, not negatively.
gabroll said about 1 month ago
Man, I need some exposure. Do you think a few unsigned pop-punk bands would ever be willing to let me do a bunch of free work for them in exchange for them wearing my shirts all day long?...
Seriously, unsigned pop-punk band exposure is exactly the kind of thing that made Ralph Lauren.
JoshInvincible said about 1 month ago
People bitching about other brands prices. If you dont wanna pay that for a shirt, then dont fucking buy it.

Emptees wouldnt be Emptees if all the humour and sarcasm magically disappeared.
LitoQ said about 1 month ago
agreed...fully.
Its all in fun really, never with any malintent. I say jump in and start swimmin!
illdthedj said about 1 month ago
totally agree...but its when the sarcasm and humor turn into being negative, shit talking, and making fun of others that the environment here starts to darken.
so i agree with you on the humour aspect, but i sort of also agree with jpolo about still keeping it somewhat professional, mostly in a sense of keeping things positive. i mean, you can be funny and sarcastic without putting down others.
Antik said about 1 month ago
I am tried of every post not having this much drama
Matthew88 said about 1 month ago
Absolutely. The people who put down others dont get away with it though. Their brand or identity is badly reflected on and people know that they arent very nice.
I think Emptees is still very good compared to pretty much all the other websites in this style.
cajun metal said about 1 month ago
Ive always wondered what the ratio of Emptees members vs. thread posters is because it seems like theres a good chunk that post regularly. So far the clique haters seem to be relatively new. Ive only been here 8 months but I know when I first got here it seemed clique heavy to me too but thats what a community is. Just dive in....
But back on topic: I hate NSFW posts because Im rarely on the computer at home when I can reap the benefits

jimmyheartcore said about 1 month ago
I think this is pretty true. For the most part, people who stick around seem to be more apt to fit in. When newbies come on here, they dont really get how everything works, and how everyone acts/talks and they get all hissy and offended.

FRENDEN said about 1 month ago
The only thing that irks me is the ridiculously small width for images in comments. In an art community, 500px forced width is anemic. Pagination would be nice. That way a single, relevant thread per topic would be feasible. A better/smarter search too. All function issues.
If there are topics I care not to discuss with yall (talking politics, animal rights, atheism, music - the list goes on), I can choose to not read the threads.

Not only do I agree with 500px being too small, but I disagree with frenden as he described this as "anemic" when I am myself anemic and am supposed to take iron supplements daily and this is where my pale complection comes from. I am SUPER SENSITIVE ABOUT THIS FRENDEN YOU ASS

When threads/comments start to look and feel like a typical online message board (example: threads like this).
One of the reasons why I love this place so much because theres actually personalities to it, and not all that typical online message board back and forth stupidity.
