Idea - Re: Apolyton Store Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Why not make it so that anyone who purchases an item from the store gets something special in their side profiles? Given the geeks on this site, I think this will be more than enough incentive to purchase apolyton-wear like a vicious, vulgar, valley girl with daddy's new credit card!!!

Perhaps customers could choose to have their name font in a certain color (and made really BIG or bold - this screams out how important and high up on the food chain an apolytoner is!!#@)

Although either way I sure as hell won't be purchasing, you can still give me the special mark for implementing my idea!!!

Any ideas for the special denotation???

All you would have to do is give someone mod powers for a five minutes and you know that you will have your biggest sale day ever.


Back on topic, Markos, how much do you guys make off of each sale? 10%? 20%?

The problem is that about two thousand posters would be perma-banned in less than three seconds.

So Markos, you like my proposal to pay to remove the ads? I wish we could do it in such a way that we only had to pay for the removal of ads but if the only way you could come up with doing it is to buy something in the store and get the benefit - that would be something else to make Apolyton ware that more appealing.

instead of banana we could have a little kitten running around that side bar if one has burchased something from the Apo shop. in one of the ads they do ask us to save the kittens, right?

Did I just read that the kitten came from Apolyton? That would be like saying "All your base belongs to us" would be a poly slogan.

Don't get me wrong, I like the banner, but the kitten chased by the domokon was done months ago, it is hardly original as it has been used in dozens of blog's photopaint contests. I've seen it on fark and b3ta first, but probably some other blog will take credit...

At least the banana is Apolyton-specific
