So if you have been watching, in about 6 months it will be TShirtSlayer's 10th birthday.
That really is something incredible!!! I could go on about how much we've grown... but really, TSS is still the same place to hang out that feels like dropping into your local metal pub/bar and talking about metal and merchandise/tshirts to some good friends - exactly how it should be.
So.. ideas? how shall we celebrate? party somewhere in central Europe? US? AUS?
Something fun we can do online together? whats your thoughts?
Depends on the country, Australia is a bit harder than Austria for me, for example.
But I get your point. Perhaps we could have people organise small gatherings in their own country and connect that somehow. (Post pics to the forum..)
Joe we would have to have a midwest meet up. A lot of Tssers are in LA I think you and I are the only very active members in this part of the country. I've met one other guy here in Minne.
What about a "10 years of tshirtslayer" book? With some of the rarest patches, of the most uncommon shirts, of the greatest battle-jackets? Could be a great celebration for users, which could attract interest outside the site. Just thinking aloud.
That's for sure, I was thinking about it right now. On the other hand, with a good project management within the motivated users... I'm fairly confident there would be a layout-artist, Native English-speaking proof-readers, iconographers, printers, publishers etc on the site which could be interested. I'm a historian/cultural consultant/feature-writer myself, I could contribute of course. But yeah, there are probably simpler ideas.
Yea, it ís a lot of work.
Perhaps a small set of interviews would be nice, to publish somewhere.
And I did notice Peter Beste has an account here. Perhaps he would be interested in receiving some TSS user-stories or something like that, to go with his work. (Or not, I don't want to force hundreds of letters on him, haha.)
I'd love to catch up with some fellow members, Traveling to another country isn't possible for me currently I don't have a passport plus working my ass off I haven't got much time off up my sleeve.
Shirt would be excellent! I wasn't here at the time of the 5th years anniversary. Would totally buy it! A party would be problematic I think. For some more as for others. I don't even have a car, + money is always low too.
TSS meetups with fellow tssers in the area to enjoy a beer, drinks, pop, piece of meat, glass of water, whatever you enjoy while we listen to bands and we like.
Yeah, I wrote that on the editted comment 4 hours ago which can be seen if you scroll down. You can see the difference between the working man and the people who tug ol winkie haha. I thought it's taken from a protective shoe brand logo.
10 years anniversary tshirt is manditory ! ! (or even 2 designs like the 5 years pair). i know a lot of people here are barking about having an anniversary patch , which i think is also a good idea if resources stretch that far , but a Tshirt should be the first priority.
A wall of shame of all the banned fucktards is what I would want to see. How many misbehaved and needed to be banned in these 10 years, also, who was the first bann?
dont get me started with them mother fuckers!!! when that dumb fucking slayer eagle pack came out.. NB US, UK and DE all had different postage costs... on big shit its not so bad.. on small shit its fucked in the head!
Having said that EMP shipped me a bunch of shit and then refunded 10 Euro. not sure if it was cause shipping was cheaper that quoted or becuase they had a sale a few days after. Either way I was fucking wrapped
I know right!! I got the Dimmu Borgir - Abrahadabra mail-order edition, First one was broke, Second one has couple chips, I just gave up...I've only bought when their the only viable option when other places have WORSE reviews than them.
hails!! yeah theres a few of us new englanders kicking around here lol think I've seen one or two other people from new hampshire as well, maybe a couple others from around the boston area too...not too shabby I'd say!
perhaps a design-a-new-tshirtslayer-logo contest, which'll get printed on the new shirt? winner gets the fame (can write it on his CV or something), shirts $50 each excl. s&h
T-shirtslayer meeting point, tent at the brutal assault (or some else) Czech festival. Vinyl edition with unreleased tracks from the most wanted bands...with pre order, so perhaps not will be financial crash. First time maybe 7 inch.
idea! not sure anyone brought this up yet. how about a tshirtslayer app for ios &/or android? how much would that cost & how much effort? I don't have a freaking clue really (non-tech-person). just imagined myself sitting in the jam-packed rushour tram, checking my emails, reading a few headlines, checking out some shirts..
app could be sold at 2-5 usd on the google & apple stores...but honestly, no idea what I'm talking about at all in terms of working hours. I'm just the short kid in the back with the spectacles and the paul mccartney haircut that always gets chosen last.
(though I did know about the mobile browser thing [my haircut's not thaat paul mccartney], I do view TSS in safari/chrome sometimes, just thought it'd be cool to have an icon directly on-screen & not have to log in all the time etc.)
Heck yeah I love this guy!! Where'd you get this from?
Sick
Dang wi$h I could rn. Deteriorot rule$$$
LEGANDARY! only have a TS sadly
Sick

WOAH! Big flames! No where near enough VK on this site
This is old.
Sick
Need a copy
Is it official?
Looks great in purple, never seen this style in anything but red
Great shirt for one of their best songs \m/
I think this users makes and sells them

Nater90 on
Oh wow that's awesome, Thanks Doc and others for all the hard work so this amazing place exists!!
As for how to celebrate it...Not sure. Will put my thinking cap on.
Bayernpirat
a new shirt is necessary
andermatten on
certainly a new shirt...i've only got my old name on the back of my old TSS shirt and i'm not a battlejacket or patch kinda person
Hárbarðr on
Yes! i never bought the old 5 years one, this would be the chance to change that!
Stronthor on
I guess a patch would be kinda cool.
Dossmo on
Seconded. Anniversary Patch.
ThE_ED on
That was my first thought as well.
Plus a party!
NISSE666
Party + patch sounds like a great idea!
ThE_ED on

NISSE666
Aslong as its in Europe i would, but i need at last 3 months heads up!
bad_american1992 on
They grow up so fast. I'm sure one of our talented patch designers could help design an anniversary patch. This would be a fun graphic to alter into something TSS related... https://tshirtslayer.com/files-tshirt/styles/shirtview/public/user-4194/...
Most users are in USA, Germany and England.... if there is going to be a party it should be in one of those countries!
Dossmo on
Maybe a small patch is better than backpatch size. Only room for one backpatch, but plenty of room for small patches on the generic users vest...
ThE_ED on
We could have a competition, of course, "design the patch".
joecubbie
Party would rule, but it seems I'm the only one in Chicago who uses TSS to this degree. Wow 10 years! Impressive.
kereealazer on

joecubbie
Yeah you're right on that. Chicago has a huge metal scene (the midwest in general as a matter of fact), but like I said, I'm the only one who uses TSS

Wow 10 years.....awesome shit! A celebration shirt of patch would be really nice guys!
Thrashattck94 on
Congrats doc! My idea is a patch and shirt one, too! I second that!
Nater90 on
Patch would be sick!!!
I'd love to catch up with some fellow members, Traveling to another country isn't possible for me currently I don't have a passport plus working my ass off I haven't got much time off up my sleeve.

And wear your battle jackets!!!
joecubbie
I can agree on that!
nexus6 on
hey guys, ive knocked up a new logo that could be used for the heading of the site:
http://i.imgur.com/yz9oEX9.png
just putting it out there, all good if we keep the one thats there now
Stormbringer81 on
Not my kind of style! I miss the old school touch on this!
Into Glory Ride on
Definitely...
MasterDeath on
I would dig something like this:

Stormbringer81 on
Cool idea.....but i would prefer just one stolen logo!
MasterDeath on
Now it looks a bit like a shoe brand
Nater90 on
Tshoeslayer!!!!
#CrowdFunding #VintageSneakersAreShit
Looks like At The Gates logo haha.
MasterDeath on
At first look it reminded me of this haha:

First thing I thought of was this
ThE_ED on
And I think they based it on Youtube.
ThE_ED on
Some band-names would fit right in on the other site as well...
Dossmo on
Looks a little bit like the header for a Star Trek Fansite (no offense, I'm a Fan myself).
D.
nexus6 on
yeah, it is a bit on the sci-fi side. all good \m/
nexus6 on
i like it, nice and clean \m/

Same here.

New tshirt for sure.
maidenmad77 on
I agree with patch idea
cambotero on
missed the 5 year tshirt, cant miss this one. plus a patch would be really cool. like a bike gang.
NISSE666
btw: Awesome new logo!
emperialmassacre
Party in NYC.
oldmate
I think a patch and a tee. Its a must :)
Also if its cheaper to send 1 big package to AU I can do any AU distro from here
Nater90 on
Good idea mate!!!
Shipping is shit here at the best of times...
kimo on
C'mon shipping isn't that bad. I think paying $25 to ship a $5 patch is pretty reasonable. Yeah I'm talking about you Nuclear Blast ya fuckas.
oldmate

Party in new hampshire!! Let foul legions of scummy metal fuckers from around the world descend on this frozen desolate mountainous wasteland!!!

start an art comp for artists on this site and then maybe we can vote and have a winner and that gets made into a tee ?
andermatten on
2nd.
perhaps a design-a-new-tshirtslayer-logo contest, which'll get printed on the new shirt? winner gets the fame (can write it on his CV or something), shirts $50 each excl. s&h
andermatten on
35? 30? true, more affordable is also more widely spread, more sales & exposure

ill meet up next year.. I am heading back. :)

Yes, I wanted go this meeting, but there was the well know affair on the first day...
I think maybe works in 2017.

Queen Catsie on
Maybe a video section where we could leave short greetings, etc?
judascrust on
I always thought a video section would be interesting, people could make videos going thru their collections or doing album reviews, stuff like that
