Has .net ever considered merchandise?

Like T-shirts or hats or anything? I dont know how popular it would be, but I would be willing to buy a hat or shirt with the sweet .net logo in the top left.

We had them at one time and it took Aros forever to sell them. I still have my hat and shirt. Seemed like a good idea at the time. But people backed out and he got stuck with them.

It would be up to Rockhawk now.

I have to second KitsapGuy's point. We had shirts and hats that Aros paid to have produced based on people's feedback but when it came time to pay up, very few did. Seems back then folks would just comment on a thread saying how much they were all in but it was just for show.

It just isn't worth it because you cannot count on people keeping their word.

Money up front works for me, say we take a poll to feel it out, then Mark can maybe set up paypal account for us to prepay for the shirts/hats.

Been saying for a while the logo at the top of the page would make a cool t shirt :th2thumbs:

I got me a dot net shirt!

The guys are right though. It was a pain in the ass for Todd to get his money back on them.

That's why we should use that as a lesson learned and put up the money first. If nothing else it could be treated as a donation. I would REALLY love to have a .net T and or hat. There must be a way, we're .net :D

A prepay would be cool. There are plenty of sites that let you create shirts and order just a few. If Rock or whoever had a design created already and gave us the link, I think we can order them personally too.

There are a few merch outlets that are capable of printing and shipping on demand, which would eliminate the need for carrying inventory, thus entirely eliminating the risk of offering merch for sale. Granted, the profit margins will be slimmer, but that would be a fair trade for the complete absence of risk.

I would be willing to pre-pay. Also if there's any new old stock still around I'm interested as well.

Me too.

We have an entirely different landscape going on here than in years past.

I think we'll consider it once we move to the new logo/layout. Stay tuned.

So you're saying there's a chance :th2thumbs:
