I'd like to see this badge outline on some club clothing product.
Like t-shirts, sweat shirts and hats. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) Who's taking over for Sean now that he's off to the circus? Attached image(s) |

Thank you Steve, for undertsanding my point.
I'm not saying that the club can't or shouldn't make money for sponsored events. Just that IT SHOULD BE DISCLOSED. Proceeds from the sale of X, Y, Z are going to .... The money raised through the various "Classic" get-togethers do this already. But it has gone to charity and not the club. Not that it is relevant, but it answers your irrelevant point of contention... Those other folks you mentioned making money through the site, never claimed to be non-profit organizations. They openly solicit business, many as a primary source of income. It's called Target Marketing. Club members asked me to provide my artwork in a functional way. The stuff I sell these days goes through CafePress who makes the bulk of the money off my designs. I average maybe $3 an item. I agree, it is a burden for someone who is not in business to do this kind of thing to have to pre-pay for all the stuff, collect money from virtual strangers and deal with shipping.....which is why I use CafePress. They handle everything (keep most of the money) and send me any profits over $50. So don't worry, I'm not going to retire on the backs of this club. I do it as a labor of love. Most of the money I manage to make goes back into club product anyway... What is not expected is a call for a group buy on a product and then find out months later, inadvertantly by yourslef today, that some extra money was tacked on to stockpile for the future. It's the non-disclosure that chaps my hide. Why don't you undertsand that? I'm starting to think it's a Texas thing... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Oh, THAT non-disclosure...

It's the non-disclosure that chaps my hide. what the fuck is wrong with you people? yes, we're probably going to make a few bucks on the badges. yes, we have already talked about how to deal with this. yes, we have started to write up a "manifesto" that we were going to publish here so people know what's going on and where money we have left over will go ... get a grip on life will 'ya? please ... the damm fucking badges haven't even been shipped out to the members yet and you're already bickering about how we don't tell you how we're going to handle the money we *might* make on this at some point in the future ... don't you have anything better to do with your life? damm, this is pissing me off ...
