"so and so" wears apolytonwear, why don't you?

connorkimbro · July 27, 2003, 21:52

I see this message under some peoples logins. How does it get to be there?

I was one of the very first to buy a t-shirt (and mousepad too) when the store first opened, my picture was even up at the time, with me wearing my shirt! I want the little advertisment thingy by my name, so i'll feel more special

IIRC it was something Markos was trying out and for some reason it stayed there (mr Mitchel). I think it was because he kinda liked it, try sending a PM to Mark or Dan and see what happens

mrmitchell · July 27, 2003, 22:34

Markos was trying out a new style of advertisement. I attempted to get my title to be an ad, but instead he put this in, and, as they say, the rest is history.

I like it. It's my own little help to Apolyton...I don't know how many people have actually used it though. Still, we enter the twilight reality of marketing here, and brand impression and the rest of that finagle can't be measured using anything logical, so I guess it's worth the bandwidth Apolyton uses to send it out.

If you really want it, you can PM Markos, but I don't know if he'll bother with giving it to you. Besides, it's a real easy way to see my posts in the thread now that avatars are off

If you want to see the story of it, it's in the old Ads FAQ thread. Search doesn't work with words smaller than four letters (an annoying habit) so I can't give you the address.

hi ,

a lot of people in the office have a "my words are backed with nuclear weapons" coffee or thee cup , ......

not to mention about some of the custom jobs , .......

we can help apolyton , ..... when c3c and civ III gold come out we can order and buy it true poly , ....

have a nice day

Dis · July 28, 2003, 00:34

I might get a coffee cup. But it seems silly to pay for postage and handling for one small things. What else do they sell?

I'm not sure if I feel geeky enough to wear an Apolyton t-shirt

hi ,

you could pay a visit to www.apolyton.net/store/ , .......

if it aint in the store it can be made for you , a lot of people want to change this or that , .....

and you can always order a full bananabox , this would save on the shipping charges , .....

have a great day

I can't really see myself going out in public with any Apolyton wear on. Maybe the hat but even that would be pushing it. Of course I might still buy the hat one of these days and then just put it in the closet.

Dis · July 28, 2003, 02:53

I want to see who has the balls to wear that kitten shirt out in public. not me

geeslaka · July 28, 2003, 03:33

I'd wear just about anything (short of nothing) in public just to see what people do.

Frozzy · July 28, 2003, 03:47

I started the trend.

Hehe you didn't see what the ad looked like to begin with. Anyway, Mark will add one for you if you ask I'm sure.

I wear my shirt all the time. The funny thing is, since I'm an IT director, everyone assumes it's a software company.

hi ,

whats wrong with the shirts , ....

they are great quality

not to mention about a cup that has " my words are backed with nuclear weapons " , ......

and the hat is great to bump in fellow apolytoners on the most strange places of this planet , ......

a small label pin might a great new innovation , ......

have a nice day

Panag · July 28, 2003, 10:14

hi ,

a new idea

the attach is an example ;

it would be great to see an ashtray with apolyton in and on it

needless to say that this ashtray would not be used under any circumstances for smoking , .....

have a nice day

PLATO · July 28, 2003, 10:26

I would buy the ashtray. Of course, I wouldn't have a problem with wearing the T-shirt eithier. Maybe, a 5 year special ashtray?

Immortal Wombat · July 28, 2003, 10:42

I wear the hat loads in the summer.

We can only offer an Apolyton-branded product if CafePress (CP) offers the base product for branding. In other words, if CP doesn't have an item up for customization then it cannot be sold in the Apolyton Store.

That said, feel free to submit your suggestion -- and image even too -- to CP for consideration. Check their website to see if there is a specifc procedure for doing so (if at all).

this should be made by poly and for poly only , .....

plenty of examples , DAN , MARK , what you say about the pin idea , .....
