I would give gifts

just the idea of pay makes me upset though

it is not egalitarrian, there are many people wo surf poly who don't have the money to pay (I don't have the monyy to pay much, but I could give some)

Markos, why don't you set up an account with Paypal to accept "donations" to Aployton? I've seen this on many sites and it's not mandatory....but if you what to show your support for the site by giving a cash gift - Why not?

Oh, and reference to the homo-civgroup - I would love to become one of it's first members!

Wittlich - don't even try. We have suggested that very thing to Markos on multiple occasions, but he doesn't like the idea of some people paying more than others for the same thing, and some not paying at all.

But as owner, its still his choice.

Well, if those mugs are free, maybe you should set up a stand at home to sell em, could be big money in it.

What I meant to say in my earlier post is that Markos can design all the shirts he wants at no cost. Cafepress sets a base price for their merchandise, and then Markos decides how much more he wants to sell them for. That difference is what he makes in profit. Overall, it costs him nothing unless he wants to buy merchandise of his own, which he can get at base cost.

I think all the bother with cafepress is a real waste of time. I heard they have practically sold hardly anything. They would be WAY better off going subscription. Or at least getting gaming company subsidies. (open ones...not like the Activision bribes...aaagh...no don't do it Mark...I can't go a whole day without one shot.)

I bought a cap, sweatshirt and large mug. The cap is crap but I was going to get my father in law a mug and sweatshirt and might still someday if Ming gives it a ****ing break.

You want Ming to break your mug?

Instead of making me buy 50 bucks of trashy products that I DON'T want (sorry...a Poly shirt is the last thing I need) that will only generate 5 bucks to Mark, JUST LET ME GIVE HIM THE 5 bucks directly.

Bullshit. I remember your old date joined. It was about March 1999. You only got the 1969 date after Mark rebuilt your lost profile.
