    Well, publicize it and sell stuff people want. That usually works for most businesses. ;)

    Seriously, I think I had heard tell of a WF shop but I didn't remember much about it.

    If you sold a basic black t-shirt with the WF logo for $20 or less, I almost certainly would buy it.

    Throw in autographed pictures and you'd sell out of everything.

    Why do people like black shirts so much?

    Problem is, the basic price of a shirt is something silly like £15; all the prices you see there are only upped by a maximum of £2. Also, the exchange rate for the last few years has been SO high.

    That, and I just didn't have the time to carry it on; plus, it was only started a few months before elwood took over, and I didn't want to try and make money off it anymore - it was different when it was borgs giving me permission.

    That new mug amuses me greatly for some reason.

    Might be because it looks like the :soma: just fell off a skyscraper or a cliff or the Titanic :rofl:

    Cafepress is a lot cheaper than the site you seem to be using (at least in the US).

    I have the Wordforge mousepad. Of course I've got the crappy white one. The blue one is much cooler, but that came out later. :(

    I seem to remember hearing that their clothes' quality is pretty cheap too. :shrug: That might've been someone else though . . .

    No, wait, that was Cafepress.

    We really should talk about a new store with Elwood.

    Zel's hat looks like ass after almost 4 years. :jayzus:

    Maybe something like 'Elwood agrees!' on the back? With your own nickname? I'd want a 'Zenow comments!' :D

    Other thought:
    WF logo on the front, 'of the ass?' on the back.

    There's an asshat joke in there somewhere, but I'm too lazy to find it.

    Anyone have any experience with Cafepress before I jump in with both feet?

    Our demo shirt came yesterday. It was the el cheapo 8.99 one, but the material seems good enough for that. We should have made the letters larger, there is very, very minor fade around the edges of them (it's not noticeable unless you look closely at it). It looks good to me, but you may be looking for higher quality.

    Just as an aside, if anyone does find a cheaper place than CafePress for small orders, I'm interested.

    For reference, midnightz in that thread said
    I dunno what that "new screen printer" was, or whether he ever did complete the move.


    That same thread mentioned zazzle.com which may or may not be cheaper but does seem to exist.
