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.

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.S O F I S T I K said: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.

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.
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.

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.

SicC said: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.

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.
