Yea I now vote for no names, it doesn't make sense to have them because it can frequently change who is active here and whos not.

**Chris** · 10-04-2005, 02:48 PM

yeah, i'd change my vote but harr won't let us change our votes on our own so we have to go beg him to do it. lol

IMO if you want your name on the back, go get your tag screen printed on the back of your own shirt.

I agree. VERY good point.

If you wanna change your vote, tell me what you want to change from and to, and i'll update it.

i was kidding. i changed mine... actually i read then voted. i was just saying in general, it would be nice if we could change out votes without the hassle (thus causing some people not to take the effort to change the vote.

well thats why we can have like 2 styles, 1 with names, 1 without, and besides, we can update the shirt every 6 months, right?

**Red_Rocket** · 10-04-2005, 03:00 PM

IF we had two styles, it would cost too much

plus... i just want a shirt...

with the yellow M

honestly, i think you're pushing too hard for this... if you're so avid about it, get it screen printed youreslf. we've pretty much said that its a bad idea for many reasns and creating an elitist t-shirt defeats the purpose of the community and what we stand for.

here's the big problem with a names on t-shirt. we can't do all 700 members and we can't update it often. so how do yu decide who's name gets to be on it? you most certainly cannot go off post count because we've established that post count means diddly squat around here. you can't do it based on quality of posts because there's no way to objectively measure that. if you create a thread, people will get shafted fr SHORT periods of innactivity and new members will be dettered and see that we value certain members over other.

remember, any time you wear a t-shirt with ANY logos on it of any kind, you have turned yourself into a walking billboard advertising whatever the logo is. so with that in mind, think about how you want to advertise United Bimmer.

**RogueRonin** · 10-04-2005, 04:58 PM
