Stop being a smart ass.

Ok people, seeing as S O F I S T I K has decided for everyone that they are over priced I will no longer make them.

They were the sites final hope for a souce of extra income, but I guess S O F I S T I K got rid of that plan, so instead of selling T shirts, we will now have pop ups on EVERYPAGE to subsidize the income the shirts could have brought in.

So when your computer goes crazy because of the amount of pop ups, remember to send S O F I S T I K a nice thank you PM.

theres always someone trying to stop those with ambition. I sometimes wonder if its because they themselves lack it.

I don't know what was harder, letting go of the financial plan, or putting the spaces between every letter of my name, three times.

Joke aside, let's be serious here. I know you're a businessman, and you know you're a businessman. Before posting this thread, you already counted how much profit you will make off every hoody and T sold. In my calculations, you should be making a 50% profit off of every T or hoody sold. Now, I am all about the longevity of this site, but putting this big of a price tag on the clothes is outrageous. Now, I said the truth, and you got offended and called me a smartass. Sicc labeled me a hater because I spoke the truth. RealestOutlawz called me a hater because I spoke the truth.

As for the popups, there's always firefox and adware protection, tupacboardians. As for the thank you PM's, I do have a 1,000 message limit, so don't hesitate.

50%? Not likely, simple because I cant afford to press up HUGE numbers to begin with, and thus that pushes the price up. I honestly dont know how much they will make because I havent looked into it, Big E gave me the idea on Skype 5 minutes before posting this thread. I guessed the price based on the price of other custom shirts around the place.

As for pop ups, fire fox doesnt block all of the ones in Fair Xchange now, let alone being able to block the flash ones that pop into the screen. And if everyone blocks them and they stop generating income, there will just be banners between each thread and you'll need to click a link to continue to where you want to go. If money needs to be made in such a rude way to keep the site up, then it will be.

Oh and as for my being a business man, this is true, but not when it comes to this site. Im trying to be a charity man, because Im making 0% profit and these shirts would not raise that at all, Im just trying to break even at the moment and that is a struggle! If I was the type of businessman you give me credit for, Id be doing both shirts and banners and pop ups everywhere to earn a profit and thus conduct real business.

So, what are your numbers?

Do as you please. If I can wait for the red light to turn green every day at the intersection, I can wait to click a link and get redirected.

I disagree with that. The reason you probably don't do so is because you're aware of how you will be perceived. This way, you can still be seen as doing charity, while making tupacboardians guilty for using the board for free while you have to pay; while still making dough. Run-on sentence, yes. But, whatever.
 
^^ I can garantee you I havent made dough off of StreetHop.com since we stopped shipping CDs. Google brings in $100 a month, MP3s about $10-$20 the rest is coming out of 2004 money, which the mods and admins know will run out in Jan, and thus we are trying to come up with ideas to generate more income.

Like you said, Im a business man, and I wont take money out of my own real life pocket for the site, if the site cant generate enough money to pay for itself it will be closed.

Anyone thats seen the numbers or understands the situation knows what time it is, dont try to make it seem like anything else than it is.
 
wat if u charged 5buckz a member everymonth. and do it on a month process.

do a poll in the major forums. and see how many members would seriously be willing to return. ban ne1 who fucks around in the thread.
 
Yes i can guarantee rukas makes no cash off of streethop because im the guy that ships his cd's and with my finacial issues at this moment in time neither of us have made any cash off the streethop shop. so sof..shhhhhut it..

they wouldnt pay a damn dollar?

remember a lot of people that visit this site do not have the ability to pay a single dollar due to the fact they are either to young for paypal or to young period or just cheap little bastards and or cheap old bastards.

So, technically, all this time, all you have been doing is basically donating your time for this site, right?

this is a legit website. half these kidz love pac to a point where they go out and buy rare shit just cuz they have pacs name on it. im sure they dont pay for it. and even if they do..theyll give they parents 10bucks so they can get a credit card usage for 10 bucks.

im sure as hell that if u put a dollar a month thing. they would get their parentts to pay 12 buckz for a year. shit if they pay for the whole year at once..u can even make it 10bucks.
 
Not to offend you or anything, but you're making all these comments and have not even signed up for VIP, for the sake of the board. I don't know if you have donated. If you can't because you don't have a credit card, how can you make a post like that? Also, you have to realize that this board is not as important to some as it is to others. Post counts are the easist deception, when it comes to that. Therefore, if push came to shove, don't be surprised if consistant posters on this board would not even donate a dollar. Good thing ruk realizes that.

parents..psh...they think everything is a scam on the internet. Thats exactly what 99% of the parents in the world would tell there children if we asked for a dollar a month. probably think rukas was using the money to buy porn or crack.......
