Sbforum Vinyl - Page 2 - Snowboarding Forum

The meet is a thing you have set up via the forum. We've been willing to help you by allowing it to be promoted through the site. There is little to no resources for monetary support. Maybe we'll get you a beanie next year. We also do not claim we own this event either. So do what you will.

HuskyFlip, I see very little problems with you creating a vinyl sticker. I seriously doubt our online store sales amount to an anthill of cash. The money made is off of the advertisers on this site. If the stickers become such a hot item, I am sure things can be worked out. At worst you would just have to quit making them. I certainly feel this is something forum members deserve to have. They have made the site what it is, and it is the "hand that feeds". VS knows this.

If you want to do it, do it yourself, that way it gets done

end of conversation!!!!!

I have the mind set that a forum is where people gather to discuss... whatever. If you have found people with whom you can meet, this forum has served its purpose.

Well said.

I don't think MPD was attacking the forum, rather telling me to go out and make my own vinyl

Husky, make it happen. I want one!

I don't either. But he did say the forum won't help "in any way" when it has already given him the platform to organize his meets... just didn't seem to be appreciative of that.

Actually to me, it sounded like he was defending the forums. As in don't expect stuff out of them. Make my own tracks to show the love and support for the forums.

That's how I read it, but I'm optimistic by nature.

Thanks, KC.

If the forum management doesn't see this as a revenue-generating thing for them, I propose to run this credit-union style, where the services and goods provided will just cover the production efforts, material and mailing costs, i.e. not for any significant profit. Any chance of getting the logo in an Illustrator (.ai) version 9 file? I can recreate it, but that would save me the work to scan/trace and clean it up. Vinyl cutters prefer a vector format like .ai over any bitmap format. If not,no biggie. Also, if you have any questions or concerns at any point in this project, PM me and we can take it to email or exchange phone numbers.

To the forum - I'll do my best to get this going and run it as best I can, but I can't please everyone. I'm relatively new here, but have been an active member of fishing and car forums for over ten years and have seen what works and doesn't. Most projects like this die on the vine arguing over insignificant decisions. So I'll take some feedback for a little bit, but at some point will have to just call the shots. Obviously I'm going to try to make the thing desirable to the overwhelming majority. Back to you asap.

2) They only have bumper stickers

My idea of optimism is...

If it's a bumper sticker, at least it should hold up when wet.

Enough banter from me though because I feel you... just didn't seem that way to me initially.

Music Moves · 03-24-2011, 10:14 AM

I've been reading about the meets for a few years now, mpd. I should try to come up for one, but I'm always so wrapped up in my other trips that I don't. Props on the preps!

And Husky, stick it up dude!

No way to be optimistic about a bumper sticker from a place that makes tons of generic products haha. I used to admin in another forum long back when I was a PC gamer and they had the same setup.

I'm just looking for something of better quality like a Vinyl coz they look legit on snowboards
