According to the company's site, tank tops are out of stock, but they will be available again next spring.

What about posters? I mentioned that and you didn't even acknowledge that I did...

MzTheInsomniac · 11-17-2002, 02:53 PM

posters would be kinda hard to get made for a website, what would be on it

Sorry about that. I did notice your post, but I forgot to mention it in my last reply. It would be possible to sell posters, but I'm not sure what to put on them since I'm assuming we're not allowed to use images taken directly from the cartoons, movies, or comics. If you have any suggestions, let me know.

Here's another post I was meaning to reply to but forgot in my last post. Yes, we can and most likely will set up a Paypal donation button in addition to selling merchandise.

MzTheInsomniac · 11-18-2002, 04:12 PM

you could adjust the image of the technodrome, shredder andkrang so you can be allowed to use thm from posters shirtys etc.

*Nickokapo* · 11-18-2002, 05:53 PM

Adjust the images?How?

the_minimizer · 11-18-2002, 09:56 PM

Have you tried talking with the show's creators about obtaining permission to put the technodrome on t-shirts and what not?

**Krang** · 11-19-2002, 01:22 AM

Not yet, but I doubt they would give me permission to sell products with their art on them. I would try, but I'm not even sure who owns the rights to the original cartoon now, since I don't think Murakami-Wolf-Swenson exists anymore.

**azure turtle** · 11-19-2002, 01:36 AM

I've heard that Artisan picked up the rights to the old show... But wouldn't it be more expensive to use copyrighted material?

**Krang** · 11-19-2002, 01:38 AM

Yep, I would probably have to pay some kind of fee if I did get permission to use images from the cartoon...

MzTheInsomniac · 11-19-2002, 01:36 PM

have someone draw the technodrome shredder and krang a bit differently from how they were in the toon so you can use them[/quote]

**Krang** · 11-20-2002, 01:11 AM

That's what I was thinking, but so far we haven't had any volunteers to draw them...

BTW, I set up a PayPal donation page, so anyone who wants to support the site and forums before the store is up can donate here.

**Karpo_007** · 11-20-2002, 04:51 AM

I will donate 5¤ as soon as I will get a paypal account, probably in 2 weeks.

~~PWDESAI~~ · 11-20-2002, 02:49 PM

krang u should really host the site on ur comp, everyone is doing it! Plus you are in control of what happens...
i'm switching wheeljack over to my dad's old comp so if anyone wants free hosting, email me.

You should just sell the shirts to the people on the site through snaili mail that way you could put w/e u want on it, wouldn't have to worry about ur site getting shut down or something...

SeaThreePeeO · 11-20-2002, 02:55 PM

Oh flippy poo, I have missed a lot haven't I?

Well I for one would be interested in buying a tee shirt. Even though I would have to pay a little extra in shipping and handling to get it over to the UK.

Count me in Krang!

MzTheInsomniac · 11-20-2002, 06:32 PM

yes u have, and welcome back, i'm recently new so yea, krang keep us updated on the merch

Good idea, but I can't for these reasons:

Most ISPs, including mine (ATTBI), don't allow people to run any kind of server off their computer while using their internet service. If they find out that someone is running a server, they will probably suspend or disable their internet connection.
The Technodrome gets about 7500 page views a day (and about 50,000 hits), so that would definitely slow down my internet connection and computer.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

If I sell them using an online company, I make a little profit on each sale which goes toward hosting fees. If I make the shirts myself, I would lose alot of money with each shirt (since I would have to pay for the shirts, the transfers, the software, the packaging, the shipping, etc.). Plus, I can sell things like hats and stickers if I use an online service for that. But thanks again for the suggestion.

**Karpo_007** · 11-28-2002, 11:55 AM

As promised, I donated 5$ for the technodrome. It isn't much, but If anyone who likes this place like I do would do the same, Im sure it would be a big help to Krang.

the_minimizer · 11-28-2002, 07:47 PM

Yeah, if you want to run your own webserver, you're probably gonna need Ultra ATA Raid or SCSI Raid, some serious processing power, a lot of RAM, a good OS (Linux, BSD), high-speed internet connection (DSL, Cable, T-1), a UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply), all of which costs $$$ (except BSD or Linux which you can download for free).

You're probably better off having your site hosted remotely with the traffic you get. Server maintennance can be costly, too.
