ticalc.org Merchandise Now Available!
Posted by Joey on 1 April 2003, 02:00 GMT

In order to cover the cost of moving ticalc.org to the new server, we will be selling merchandise with pictures of the original staff at the brand-new ticalc.org store. After the results of our recent survey, we expect this to be very popular. Although there are only a few items available now, we will add more once we can figure out the pricing. Pre-order now to get priority delivery. DOITGORIGHTNOW!

Update (Michael): Okay, so it's fake. But we know how much everyone wants a Magnus thong!

What the hell is your problem with MV? Is it that he removes your posts? If it is, then you are dumber than I thought. Your posts are frequently off topic and mainly moronic. He has good reason remove your posts. For the love of God, drop it.

look at his bio...MV does seem a little too strick sometimes but I'll give him the benefit of a doubt since I never posted in the times way before him.

Dude, the problem he has with MV is that he's being utterly dictatorial about the boards. Someone had a perfectly on-topic post that was at least four sentences long. At the end, they said "(first post)". MV deleted it because of that. Personally I find that a bit asinine. Not to mention that he has a tendency to delete any posts that say anything bad about him...

Go away, get off this site and never come back. You seem to hate the comment boards now, so why do you continue to post? Does it make sense while free to leave and post somewhere else, you remain, but whine like a little kid who wants candy?

I'm sick of you complaining. No one cares. I don't care. I follow the rules. If you don't like the rules of posting, then don't post. To continually complain when other options are available to you is immature.

Well then are we going to get the General Discussion board soon? We can't really talk as a group anymore, and to get everybody to migrate somewhere else to talk about general topics would be harder than it seems.

I think he is right, thats the rules, it's the same thing as you are copying in a test and your teacher catches you, and takes your tests, you may be angry, but he is only doing his job, and he is working a lot, he could do nothing like previous people, but no he works a lot for the good of this site, and things won't change because you want so.
Altough that I'm apologist of a general discussion board, for example you have a problem with your calc that is off topic, and you can put it in the general topic board, and talk nonsenses and stuff like that :P

It may be just me, but I believe that you might be a little jealous. Not sure yet. IIRC you stating that you applied for the editor position.

I have also deleted a few posts while here. 100 to be exact. Some guy loaded the boards with the same post over and over and over and over again (100X). And it was off topic.

I have to disagree with that. I've only had a few posts removed and only one or two I dissagree with. He is doing what he was hired for, but he can be too lax with some people. If you really have such a problem with MV I have to agree that you really should leave and never come back.

Um....great idea about selling merchandise to fund moving ticalc.org, but I think you guys are overdoing it by selling thongs with people's faces on them...

Yeah, I'd say this is an April Fool's joke. Check the date. Aside from the odd choice of items, the pictures are obviously faked. Still, I can't imagine anyone buying that...

Very interesting... I could see people buying the shirt... and maybe the mug... but the thong? Excuse me, but that seems a bit much. The idea of a store is good one, and I imagine many people would be willing to support this wonderful cause (No, I am not being sarcastic!). Well, gotta run!

Yesh, didn't you notice, it was a "pre-order" page, and it didn't ask for your name, e-mail, anything... And if you clicked the button (I did just to see what happened), it said they would contact you at a later date... How? Unless they planted spyware on my computer (hmm, TICalc.org doing that? *shudder*) or they are all mental, it's gotta be April Fools. And he got the time perfect too, like he did for Pi Day. And its TICalc.ORG, so they can't be for profit, but if it's to cover a new server... And I doubt that too. :p

You have to be logged in to the Store page to pre-order. We will contact you at the e-mail address specified for your account information.

How would you cancel an order? I had to see the lagitamacy (sp) of that. And for those who are woondering, I picked the mug.

Since you haven't paid for it yet, you don't need to cancel. After you reserve your items, then you can decide whether or not you really want to buy them.

If you guys want I can design some gfx with the TICalc.org logo on it. Two of my pieces are here:

You must be signed in to post, right? Did you go to the link before or after you signed in? If it is after, your e-mail address is probally in a database on their srever.

I hope it is not a joke, I can finally get that thong with Magnus's face on it! Oh, Yeah!

I highly doubt that this is a joke, considering that the news item was in blue and not red... remember when there were 1200 pending files and they made a joke out of it saying "the world is coming to an end... ticalc.org has 1200+ pending files!" That news item was red because it was fake. This is not fake according to the fact that it is red.

And if it was supposed to be red, well, then I'm just wrong.

Don't they have the option to make it red or not?

We can make it red, but this is not a joke. Henrik has been working hard on the new server, and it's not cheap.

It isn't red when they POST it, genius. They make it red later on.

There are two types of sarcasum: rude, humorous. Try the latter.

Well the pictures are not of the real products because we are still in the pre-order phase. We are currently waiting for our first run to come back from the printer, and at that time we will begin ordering (hopefully in late April). We'll update the pictures then, but for now that's the best representation.

If you want to produce merchantise, produce a "Silver Edition Top" for my girlfriend, no faces in it, just silver edition, transparent top, uhhh that would sell :P

We are doing pre-orders now so we know how many to order. Therefore we have not printed them, and I needed to make them on Photoshop to show what we're intending to get.
