All hail the Apolyton store. For a mere $100, you can get a mug. Not only that, but you will be actively helping with 1.5% of that going to Apolyton!

Did you leave out a decimal marker in that $100? Current cost = ~$13.99 (settler II large mug)cIV list: cheats

So you'll end up paying ~$30, of which maybe $2 well end up with MarkG and DanQ.
But...
Mark, Dan, you seem to be reluctant to accept donations or "sponsored" memberships, but I read on the Cafe Press website that you can set your own retail price (over the products' base price)... Couldn't you sell, say, Apolyton (bumper) stickers, for $15 or more (maybe several different prizes) or something. The shipping of stickers and the base price of stickers is negligible.
You will still be able to do your **** through Cafe Press, you'll still be selling products. But anyone who wants to really donate money can do so, knowing that most of the money will end up with you, and they'll get a little Apolyton sticker on the side.Last edited by Mercator; July 21, 2003, 13:04.Comment

That's the ACS store. You are apparently trying to move on sidetrack this whole issue and point a less experienced Apolytoner to the wrong place. Get a dictonary and see that store doesn't equal with sponsored membership. Do I have to write a full explanation or can you get it that you are talking trash here? Argh! Shut up or at least stay to facts.
And Skanky and Mercator are right that the store incomes are very minimal and neither can the prices be increased that much as people will abstain buying stuff then. Also selling some special priced bumber stickers would be just pure idiocy. Who would want to pay extra for the delivery, when you buy a service (paid membership)? No, it has to be done properly and in a working manner."Kids, don't listen to uncle Solver unless you want your parents to spank you." - SolverComment

Yes, it is silly, but somehow "they" don't want proper donations or paid memberships.Originally posted by Asuka

A sticker costs $2.49, its shipping $0.60. If they start selling stickers for ~$12.50, you pay ~$13 for a donation of $10 to Apolyton. Something I think much more people would be willing to do (rather than buy random stuff from the store).
But then again, I just don't know why Dan and Mark don't want regular donations in the first place, so I'm just trying to bring up some alternatives. And more than just saying "click on banners more often", or "buy more from the store".
Well, the only reason against donations or payed memberships I can think of is that they do not want members to demand different treatment. E.g. "Hey! I pay $10 every month, you can't ban me!". I don't think they want that, and neither would I.
If ever they do start accepting money, that should be purely voluntary and unconditional, unrelated to the "service", as you mention.Comment
