Merchandise, T-shirts are shit

Why not have a plush toy of the sift bot and draw more attention to this character, I’m fairly confident more people would buy a plush toy of sift bot than would ever buy useless poorly made Tshirts.

A sift bot would also be a unique character and original way to promote the site.


Who wouldn’t have space on their desk for a sift bot?

Yeah westy, they could go buy a buncha flour sifters and put a VS sticker on them....Eeeevryone would want one..they'd sell like hotjacks or flapcakes....*cough

The bottom line on the T-shirt's appeal is simple-Firstly, The clever quips that appeal to the admins or the users who create them have no mass appeal. Secondly, The designs themselves look home-made remedial like autistic kids who just discovered Corel draw. The pseudo-intellectual, stream-of-consciousness ramblings have just enough appeal to guarantee that 10 nerds a year who know nothing about this site, MIGHT wear one if they decide to go outdoors, and then only if it is given to them free. I wouldn't wear any of them without a gnawing sense of embarrassment and chagrin.

Success in any business endeavor has the perfect combination of artistic expression in product or implementation, mass-appeal, and timing. T-shirts are always timely, until we all dress Chinese-styley...otherwise the designs lack the other two elements in a big way.

I know I can't be the only person here who shares this simple armchair critique.

Sorry dudes, yer shirts blow chunks. Try some stock art or treat Photopshop like God's own handwriting for the next year.....take clever pills.

Again brycewi19, one of the many available items may include T-Shirt designs once the website(s) are up and running...I would love to be able to help these cats, and keep looking for a t-shirt whenever my non-chartered ass casts it's eyes in the direction of 2 o'clock....still waiting.
