    The main thing will be going slow enough to keep demand up. Also, a lot of these merchandise projects have large amounts of capital being invested. Well over $1000 went into the shirts project. We simply have to make back our money from one project before we can start a new one. Keep in mind that we are trying to raise funds for the needs of the site, turning around and putting every cent into a new project does not help these needs in the short term.

    All I ordered was some lousy business cards. Mine thinks I was nuts doing that! Fortunately for Sean, his wife seems pretty forgiving about the FHC stuff. Good thing too 'cause they are gonna be swimming in FHC t-shirts soon!

    Going for 2 let me know the who's when why how parts when figured out. IMO I think it's ok if any of the guys involved in mugs, shirts etc... make a little $$$ it's ok. Everyone's time is a valuable thing. Just my opinion.

    Thanks Jet! We do this as a passion for you guys and gals! We have zero desire to make money off of you but we do want to make the site pay for itself. Our goal is and has been to make a family friendly, clean environment to help everybody we can. We also want to make a place people can feel free to talk about what they want aside from politics without being put down or belittled for what they believe. Politics lead to arguments and division so that's out period! We stay clear of sponsorship for now because that allows companies to say we will only sponsor you if you have such and such content and remove such and such content.. Bottom line this place is for all of you guys and will remain so. If that ever changes many of us will leave.. It's meant to be a home away from home my friend!

    I did not mean roll in the dough millionaires kinda money. It's awesome what you guys do and this is the only forum I've ever joined. It's a comfortable family friendly place. I appreciate what all the mods do and what everyone on here brings to the table every time they log in. Maybe you guys could make say $1 off sales and put it all in a kitty to buy new items to offer to members etc... any way you guys are great for what you have going on here.

    Huh? A forum/website based on principle rather than profit, truth & friendship rather than a political or other agenda, helping others rather than oneself. Nice idea fellas, funny how it seems to be drawing good people to itself, & making me a better guy along the way. Not bad for a bunch of wood burners with chainsaws. KUDOS & MORE TO THE MODS! Thanks guys. A C

    EDIT: White flames on the mug BTW.

    Yes, unfortunately the reality of having to buy 24 dozen beer glasses at $3.00 each to get the free decal lettering, then repackaging them and shipping them off two at a time might prove to be a bit uneconomical.

    :(

    You moderators might use any extra funds left from FHC merch sales to take your honey's out to dinner... a way for FHC members to say thanks. Could be a win/win... ;)... all of you deserve it! I'd happily donate to that, on top of any FHC items I juz gotta have... :ups:

    I voted for one... I may take more. Coffee may be the only food group more critical than beer.

    Nope we are selfless mules at the grind for our group of fellow burners! :DSeriously though we really want it all to go to you guys! Your what makes this place tick like it does... Seriously over 800 members now and you guys moderate yourselves better than any of us could. You all do a great job of keeping it friendly. In my book that's payment enough..... It makes it all worth it to me to be a part of such a great site brother! We really say thanks to all of you great folks! :drunk:
