Just went premi for another year. And thanks to Dave.org for everything he does.
Great post Jeffie!!!
You're welcome Michael. The .org is mine as much as it's part of everyone's, and I just decided to step up to the plate. As seen in the other post, Dave mentioned we needed some hardware, so I decided to make a post and try to help out all of us.

I doubt it will be that much profit per, I just don't want to price them too high. Stickers just aren't meant to be a high ticket item. $3 will probably be the total price per sticker, at least for the presale (a little incentive for those that really want stickers to get their order in asap). Not to worry though, that combined with the people that donated here, plus I'm sure there may be a couple more that will donate over the next few weeks, I think we can reasonably be rocking a new server within the next few months.

I haven't been an active/premium member of this site in a few years. However, I do still visit this site for info regarding my cars (still own two cavs) whenever there is a problem. This site has done a lot for me so the least I can do is make a donation to keep this operation running smoothly.

As for products... first off stickers are in the works, but they won't be a high dollar item. I don't count on making much money on them, they are meant to be a cheap item. As for anything else (shirts I've been hearing?) until I have some designers willing to help me out, there are no plans as of now.
Any designers come forward yet? I'm toying with the idea of helping you out, which I'd LOVE to do! I've designed 3 automotive shirts in the past, so I'm sure I could handle it. However, my poor little Mac with all the Adobe software on it has been sidelined. I even tried to find alternate ways to get ahold of a copy of Photoshop & Illustrator for the past few days, but nothing panned out.
I might be willing to fire up the Mac over the weekend, swap monitor hookups & see what I can do. Simple black for print on a white shirt? Do you have vector of the JBO logo available to work with?
Aaaaand I did do a shirt design last night, just need to know where to send it if Dave's interested. I also managed a copy of Photoshop & Illustrator for my pc, which I'll probably install today later on, so more designs wouldn't be an issue at all.
I'm going to go premium this week and I'd definitely get a shirt and stickers.
I just went premium. And i'd definitely buy a shirt. Stargirl
M me about some of the photoshopping you can do, i got a couple things i need done, and i seen you do great work.

I Agree, Kudos to dave even though i have no idea who he is other than the person responsible for keeping this whole operation going. Even though the majority of people on here can't stand me, the sites still been full of useful information to me and for that i thank dave and anyone else nice enough to help me out along the way as far as questions problems with my J etc.

single handedly? i think about 8 or 9 people nominated ya... personally i voted for the other guy though
those 8 or 9 people should've followed your lead gme.
the other guy sealed the deal for himself when he went premium for a month and came to AG and tried to tell everyone that J03Y Baggs was his gay lover.
