Idea - Re: Apolyton Store

Zylka · August 2, 2002, 22:32

Why not make it so that anyone who purchases an item from the store gets something special in their side profiles? Given the geeks on this site, I think this will be more than enough incentive to purchase apolyton-wear like a vicious, vulgar, valley girl with daddy's new credit card!!!

Perhaps customers could choose to have their name font in a certain color (and made really BIG or bold - this screams out how important and high up on the food chain an apolytoner is!!#@)

Although either way I sure as hell won't be purchasing, you can still give me the special mark for implementing my idea!!!

Any ideas for the special denotation???

It should let us put obscenely large images in our signatures, and make it mandatory to show signatures!

Skanky Burns · August 2, 2002, 23:35

Wow! Your ideas are so fantastic!

Maybe it could allow you to put whatever you wanted in the "flag field"...

Panag · August 3, 2002, 13:01

hi ,

, but then some people shall buy what ever they can buy , just to show off to the others , .....

this would lead to banana's , ........

have a nice day

Zylka · August 3, 2002, 16:46

SWEET!!! If you buy apolyton gear, you get a banana added to your location field!@!#!@$#Q

Holy effing Markos, get on this if you want to move your merchandise!!!!

MarkG · August 3, 2002, 19:53

how about access to no-ads forum styles for a month or so(if i figure out how to do it

)??

Zylka · August 3, 2002, 22:21

Emm no people want something concrete they can show off to other posters

A banana icon in the side profile would do just that

Zylka · August 4, 2002, 02:49

Markos we're sitting on a goldmine here!!!

Now what the £$@%# is wrong with cement?

Oh, you concrete people make me furious!

MarkG · August 4, 2002, 06:57

banana icons are easier to be done

Solver · August 4, 2002, 07:02

Access to mod functions for a week? For this, Markos, I can guarantee you'll have at least 30 orders after you allow it

All you would have to do is give someone mod powers for a five minutes and you know that you will have your biggest sale day ever.

Back on topic, Markos, how much do you guys make off of each sale? 10%? 20%?

MarkG · August 4, 2002, 09:20

around those numbers depending on the type...

The problem is that about two thousand posters would be perma-banned in less than three seconds.

"How dare you answer my question with a joke?!" *ZAP*

Anodyne · August 4, 2002, 12:07

Hmm...the products should be just funnier.

I want a "Wiglaf" -coffee mug!

Solver · August 4, 2002, 12:07

Yeah, probably the current mods would get banned first

.

Anodyne · August 4, 2002, 12:19

Hm... Is it even possible for a mod to get banned?

If Ming, for example, (hey, this is just an example! It could be anyone...

) comes home drunk and decides to have a little "fun"?

Zylka · August 4, 2002, 19:19

So Markos, you like my proposal to pay to remove the ads? I wish we could do it in such a way that we only had to pay for the removal of ads but if the only way you could come up with doing it is to buy something in the store and get the benefit - that would be something else to make Apolyton ware that more appealing.

No but I would love to take credit for it.

Solver · August 5, 2002, 05:39

Markos, but just why are you spying on people to see who are the customers, eh? Maybe this is one of the things that prevents me from buying

I mean that I give you cash, you pay my bills with credit card.

Andemagne · August 5, 2002, 19:47

instead of banana we could have a little kitten running around that side bar if one has burchased something from the Apo shop. in one of the ads they do ask us to save the kittens, right?

MarkG · August 5, 2002, 21:47

true, i think the kitten is a better sign/logo for apolyton than the banana

Did I just read that the kitten came from Apolyton? That would be like saying "All your base belongs to us" would be a poly slogan.

Don't get me wrong, I like the banner, but the kitten chased by the domokon was done months ago, it is hardly original as it has been used in dozens of blog's photopaint contests. I've seen it on fark and b3ta first, but probably some other blog will take credit...

At least the banana is Apolyton-specific
