Asmo,

I assume you don't know which gender uses thongs usually, but I gather the other can indeed do it too. However they may get frowned upon...

Kuciwalker · November 15, 2003, 10:27

That would be painful...

PLATO · November 15, 2003, 13:59

I'd buy an Apolyton Christmas ornament for my tree.

A Civ/Poly poster would be cool.

MarkG · November 15, 2003, 14:16

we've got a poster from the c3dg

PLATO · November 15, 2003, 14:21

I saw that one, but I was thinking of one that had "APOLYTON" on it. Plus the $19.99 price tag is a little higher than I was expecting for a poster. Still, if it is good quality and had the site name on it...I would probably buy it for BKWM's room.

MarkG · November 15, 2003, 14:41

price: it's due to what we're charged by cafepress
quality: i dont remember the dpi of the image used(should be higher than 72), but it's size is 5250 x 3450 pixels
apolyton: i dont recall puting "apolyton" on the final image and i cant seem to find it on my computer to check it out

MarkG · November 15, 2003, 14:43

thinking about it, i think a "my words are backed with nuclear power" poster would look cool

MarkG · November 15, 2003, 14:58

ornaments

and a new hat (also in black)

Perhaps I should have used more smileys in my post

Ben Kenobi · November 15, 2003, 19:25

'Poly Thongs!

Markos, what images are on the calendar? I seem to remember making a suggestion to put some of the mods on the pictures.

Edit:

You did include that picture of Ming holding his banning rod.

If Panag's suggestion is implemented, I'm surely not going to stop blocking pop-ups on ACS for the nearby future. If ever. Ideas like that make ACS look like an adult entertainment website. Now you surely don't want ACS to be comparable with XXX pop-up jungles. The Gator and other scum was already enough. Now they'd better look into making reluctant members find interest in more openly supporting the site, rather than finding more plausible reasons not to accept being bugged.

Panag,

one pop-up at login; maybe, but heck there's others too. That calendar isn't anyway useful for me and many others, as the first day of the week is Sunday (American model, meh). Furthermore I have four unused vouchers from the banner making contests, so I can still redeem those and get to buy for the CafePress stock price. Actually I could as well make much cheaper a T-shirt locally with my own printer (I do have T-shirt iron on transfers) or get it done in a local store. Graphics can be easily obtained from Poly - just grab one of the logo images.

My point is that you won't get far by adding more pop-ups. Normal MSIE users will get scared away or get tired of having to close pop-ups. Also it undermines the interest of users like me who don't like aggressive ads, but would like to continue supporting ACS.

If the dates and the days of the week match, why does it matter what day of the week the calendars start?

Markos:

Well, that could be a good idea for a thread, how should RAH, Lord of the Ferrets, and MtG, Master Sargeant be represented on a calendar?

Alexander's Horse · November 16, 2003, 22:51

I once bought a poly baseball cap - the world's most expensive cap after freight.

Because it's just annoying to have Sunday first, as one is used to having Monday first here. Not to mention that public holidays, flagging days and namedays are missing, which I myself give a high value. So for now the free calendar I have will do the work just fine - has all the dates, weeks, months, namedays, flagging days and public holidays.

I don't want to Americanise my time keeping.

you've got an interesting perception of permission and ownership

but i dare you to make a decent looking t-shirt with the logo found on the web....
