Well I know I don't, you big party pooper. Although I'm impressed you can ban people on a per-thread basis, very fancy. I've modded/admined a few forums and if any of them had that function, I never noticed it. For the record, virtually everything I said in there after asking about collaborations is false, I just felt I hadn't roused any rabble here in a while.
In all seriousness, I would say what you include on the shirt should also be determined by what, if anything would be the text on the shirt. Will there be some sort of funny saying, an in-joke, or nothing at all? Figure that out before you worry about the images, to make sure it all matches up.

Yeah, you kinda are. I think a shirt that had all that would be a train wreck. Anyone remember Master Shake complaining about that with his The Fume shirt? Same principle here. Gobli and the Minotaur are good ideas from what I've seen, but I'd suggest staying away from individual users, that way lies madness. Incorporate everyone and the shirt sucks, leave people off and then the butthurt drama arises.
You always have to look at a train wreck!
Seriously, there's no reason that would have to be too messy. There was a picture a while back which was simply caricatures of like 75 Pavilionites and it was one of the most popular things to hit the Imaginari (and IMO was completely awesome). And it'll sell more shirts--there's a reason the Pavilion Biography contest is more popular than any "Anything Goes" contest we've had in the last five years. It's not like every single Pavvie should be on there; just the 20-50 most famous.
Oh, I know it would make it popular, everyone always loves getting their ego stroked. Back on IGN a fellow did an epic sort of ongoing story series featuring board members, and it was huge. Thousands of posts, without exaggeration But half the posts were simply complaints from people who weren't in there, or who thought their character should do this or that. That's how people are. Do that with this shirt, I guarantee multiple people start grousing, no matter how many you put on there. People will show up just to grouse, without even knowing what drew them here. Like Field of Dreams, but with *****ing instead of baseball.

I think I can top that, or could if I could find it; at one point I had a shirt from my high school AP Physics class. It depicted our teacher in the middle of a vicious power slide with guitar in hand. The image wasn't doctored, someone just pulled it off a computer in his room (he was an...interesting individual, and I mean that in a good way, he was extremely intelligent and extremely bat**** crazy, a fun combo in any teacher). I can't remember what it said. But obviously the mere fact that we had a shirt dedicated to a teacher insured none of us would be touched by anything remotely resembling a female until we took it off.
And these Pav shirt designs sound like they're going in the right direction.
