SMYN Forum

Alright, so back in the pre-MLG days, SMYN had something I think could've been taken further: a shop. Now, back then it was KIND of a big deal, but not really. There were shirts with the SMYN logo, shirts that said All Clocks, shirts that said Nana Is A Whore, an All Clocks wall clock, a logo coffee mug, a dictionary coffee mug, the works.

Not sure if it's still around, but I do know that nobody ever talks about it anymore. Well, back in those days I had no source of income, but now that I do I've noticed that my closet severely lacks SMYN swag. Let's fix this! I think it's time to start the Show Me Your News shop anew!

Sure, we'd have the classic stuff like "All Clocks" and "KatanaGunClaws," but SMYN has grown to have even more that could be used for some awesome shirts and other swag. So I come to you, fellow SMYNjas! Let's get our favorite moments, quotes, and ideas out there and let's make ourselves a shop!

Personally, I'd like to see a shirt with the logo on the front and a list of the notable SMYNjas on the back, but that might be too specific. I'd also like to see a shirt of Buzz and his Zubat army.

Now that I'm equipped with a job, the idea of me purchasing SMYN merch is a lot more likely.

Just sayin'.

The old shop is here, btw: http://www.cafepress.com/showmeyournews



Anyway, Buzz and his Zubat army wouldn't work so well, considering Zubats and copyright and all that. Maybe generic cartoon bats? I dunno.

Er wait. The Nana is a Whore shirt... Uh... how is that not illegal....? It's cool that it's there(I want one), but seriously, what is the legalities behind stuff like this?

Well, Buzz being stalked by a Zubat army would be hilarious. Also, I don't think there's been mention of "Jump over the Switch" and I'm pretty sure that's one of our bigger memes.

The old shop works well and all, but it's run by BHLMRO, who I'm not sure is even a fan anymore.

If we do start a new shop, it would definitely need to be a SMYNja that will keep it updated. Or we should figure some way of having the shop relate to a future donations plan.

Where's Spork-Ninja-Draken when we need him?

I know, the loss of Sporky would be a bit of a blow, but we could still do this. We still have some pretty good artists.

Also, Youko: Yeah, the donations thing was actually what got me thinking about this again. (Also, I'm now in the same boat as Wugs and can actually BUY the stuff now.)

But if somebody could sort of teach me how to work a CafePress shop (if that's indeed what we'd continue using), I think I could probably handle it. I'm no artist, but I'd have no problem keeping the shop up to date.

*bump* The episode somehow made me remember this and believe even MORE that it should be done. I'd even be willing to run it if need be.

Sorry to double post, but.. you know, nobody's posted yet. I'm thinking of starting a CafePress shop right now, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I know how to start the store, but how do I have the money go to Youko or Buzz or whoever would control the funds it would bring in (I'd say if any, but.. come on)?

Before I do it, I just wanna know if somebody wants to answer these questions, and I will personally run the shop if that's what it takes to get some more SMYN merch out there again.

What would we do for product that the older, still functioning store doesn't already sell? That's my main issue. We haven't stumbled across anything like All Clocks in a long time.

...Or an artist, for that matter.
