Consider charging for access to certain premium features.
You're so cute when you're a curmudgeon. :kiss:1. Rob asked about a specific idea. Why do people not discuss that but instead discuss other crap entirely?
You really shouldn't have to spend as much hosting this site.
It only just needs a dedicated server.
You have no idea how much bandwidth and CPU this site requires, do you?
RE: Cafepress
I've checked into this option. This is a good source of very low quantity (as low as 1) custom apparel, etc. However, my understanding is that the quality is not that high. Has anyone actually ordered a t-shirt from cafepress and if so what was your experience? The other issue with cafepress is cost. If I buy several thousand identical shirts I can buy them at a substantial discount, and therefore charge less to make the same margin. Cafepress, I believe, charges a premium because of the low quantity. However, the advantages with cafepress are that we could have virtually unlimited designs, products, etc. to choose from.
RE: Design
My initial thought was to keep it simple, to have one or two shirts only. The Member vs. Supporter was not meant to be serious, but instead would be a toungue in cheek joke depending on who purchased the shirt. Also, I purposely would leave off the .org so that for all anyone knows the shirt wearer could be a member of this LPSG. I have a shipping department that could handle logistics, and again cut costs, but it would be very difficult to have more than a couple of options.
Anyway, please provide feeback if you have every ordered from cafepress, and thoughts on cost vs customization of design.
Anyway, please provide feeback ...
It's all about the benjamins with you, huh?![]()

Because the idea arose out of financial need. So suggestions on how to increase finances -- nah, it's not important because you probably wouldn't understand. Thanks anyway for pointing out my humanity.
And I thought it arose out of a sartorial need.
Obviously not. But I doubt that you could possibly point out anything that I wouldn't understand, and easily. The reverse may not be true. Thanks for a few laughs at your expense.
