RateItAll Contests 3

The contest itself was a great idea, but the end results were a bit disappointing.

I got the email saying that I had written enough reviews to get the t-shirt, and I have to say I was rather disappointed by the available sizes. Apparently the shirts tend to run a little small, and they only go up to men's XL. That's going to be one snug fitting t-shirt. If they were available in XXL, I'd wear it and give RIA a little free advertising around here, but I guess it'll probably end up stuffed in the back of some drawer or maybe I'll give it away.

Here's a little advice to anyone printing up t-shirts for any sort of promotion or event. Make sure you get a wide enough variety of sizes. When I was in college, my fraternity sponsored a jazz festival, and for two of those years we printed off t-shirts. XXL's sold, and we even sold a few XXXL. It doesn't take that big of a person to require an XXL. I of course would probably have a tendency to not order smalls, but that would probably be a mistake as well. People come in a lot of different sizes, and it's worth thinking about any time you're making some sort of promotional clothing.

UPDATE: I got the T-shirt in the mail this week, and while it's a little tighter than I generally wear my shirts, I can wear it, as long as it doesn't shrink at all the first time I wash it.

That last comment was supposed to be an update to the review, is the ability to delete comments coming back anytime soon?

Yeah, we have comment edit and delete ready to go on our dev server. It's going to go live during our next push - it might be tonight, might be Monday.
