How is the iTunes affiliate program going?

Brad · 2006-04-13, 16:40

Good question. That's been gone for a long time from the front page since we killed off the CMS.

As for the CafePress store, look up! I fixed the old broken HTML templates, updating them to look like the current style. We might add some stuff there for fun.

Bryson · 2006-04-13, 17:42

What have Cafepress got against black t-shirts, anyway? Just wondered.

Actually, they just added an option for black tshirts.

alcimedes · 2006-04-13, 23:30

The bigger issues is whatever you decide to design for white t-shirts likely has to be redone to print on black. And it takes more ink.

Oompa Loompa · 2006-04-22, 10:27

Hi, guys, sorry, still recovering from a cold... do I understand correctly that the Cafepress AN store is fully operational again? Or is it still a 'work in progress?'

Second question: if I would order something from the store, would it fully benefit AppleNova?

BTW: I wouldn't mind to see a cool 'Viva La Revolución!'-clock or a 'Dancing Lock'-shirt as a shopping option.

EDIT: I don't have a creditcard yet. Are there other ways to transfer money for (non-US) members?

alcimedes · 2006-04-22, 10:33

The way Cafe Press works is they sell us a T-shirt for say $14, we put our design on it etc. and then we sell it for $16, and AN gets a $2 profit.

The nice part about Cafe Press is that we don't buy that $14 t-shirt until someone orders our $16 t-shirt, so there's very little upfront cost of operating a store.

As for shirt ideas and the like, that might not be a bad idea for a thread. See if we can get some people *cough* paul *cough* to come up with some other cool designs/ideas.

Mac+ · 2006-04-22, 10:42

Not that this has much to do about much ... but I *love* the copy that Jack wrote for the Aldo Nova silhouette collection. I still get a kick just reading it.

(Mad props to 'scates too ... he's the man - consider yourself reminded Paul.)

Great! But to be honest I would rather pay 25 dollars for 1 cool AN-shirt (knowing that at least 10 dollars go to AN...) then buying 2 shirts for 16 (only 4 dollars would go to AN)... the margins seem a bit low? Or were you just giving an example, Alcimedes?

Yes a *cough* new thread where *cough* paul and others would come up with some shiny new stuff would be fantastic!
I like the Leprauchan a lot though!

Oompa Loompa · 2006-04-22, 14:36

I just thought of some ideas for AN t-shirts... it could be a lot of fun to add some fun stuff. Some very quick sketches:

turtle · 2006-04-22, 17:43

I have to say, I would rather at least be able to donate to a PayPal account to support the site than feel like I had to buy something. If you have an account open and set a Admin/Developer rule set for use of it, I would give to support the community here.

Cool shirt would be cool too, though so few people would know what the shirt meant that I would use it for a beater when doing dirty work.

drewprops · 2006-04-22, 23:02

Remember the great T-shirt designs we talked about over at AN before the Revolution? There were some great ones....

I know I would too.

It's on the todo list.

I am convinced that that thread was the very reason for the split...

atomicbartbeans · 2006-04-23, 13:59

Okay... if somebody actually put the IBL shirt on the AppleNova store, I would most definitely buy one.

Anybody feel like making a "hello, the" shirt? Private jokes rawk.

Artap99 · 2006-04-23, 15:57

If you could figure out a way of putting actual posts on a t shirt, I'd most likely buy several.

This is a quick and dirty version, but I think it would go something like this:

Banana · 2006-04-23, 16:00

Erm... nobody will ever read it.

Anything on a t-shirt should be short enough to read with a single glance. Two, maybe.

I like ABB's idea about "hello, the". A good icebreaker. Though there's possiblity of weird looks now and then.

Artap99 · 2006-04-23, 16:04

I think it would be awesome to see someone wearing that. And it wouldn't be for other people, it'd be for me

alcimedes · 2006-04-23, 16:16

Someone have a link to the original "Hello the" thread? I was looking for it and the search funciton seems to hate the words hello and the. Stupid search engine.

turbulentfurball · 2006-04-23, 16:28

Here ya go. It's the only thread I have bookmarked. Always cheers me up!

You shouldn't have shamed Brad. You know better than that.

alcimedes · 2006-04-23, 17:16

Hello, the items are now available at the AN store. Even a cool termial style green on black t-shirt.

Banana · 2006-04-23, 17:42

You know, they'll think it was a spoof of the popular "Hello, World!" program, but hey, cool t-shirt anyway!

I love it! I'm SO buying a Hello, the mug when I have a little cash to burn.

atomicbartbeans · 2006-04-23, 17:50

You know, for a while I was considering the "hello, the" hoodie, but that thong would make an awesome gift for a special someone.
