How many of you would be interested in purchasing a totse.com silicone bracelet (similar to the live strong bracelets) in order to support the site?
It's an idea we're tossing around, and I want to see if it's worth the time and effort..
Most likely the bracelets would say "READ KNOW DO" on one side and totse.com on the other..

I would but i told 12 friends to shank me if they ever caught me wearing those bracelets. Why? because many fagget ass hip hopers are wearing them. other than that yeah sure I would buy one.

Yeah, like offer them as more expensive items. Also, can you put like "Supporter" under the name, too?

Unfortunatly, you are right. What you could do is just put TOTSE or &Totse, not the website, because then it would be teh 4774ck 0f 73h n00bs
awesome idea i know i would buy one and just &totse would be cool

Minimum order is 20 bands, which means that usernames would be prohibitively expensive.
Unless you really want to spend well over $50 to have your username on there.

why blaclets thows things are gay why not t-shirts i know there some at caffeexpress.com but thows suck if they made a shirt that was funny id buy it
How much are these bad boys gonna cost
Hell I'd buy them in packs of 20.
I'm all for this idea.

I dont know if id buy one.
Id want one because well i love totse but i hate those kind of wristbands with a passion. I make fun of all the retards at school who bought into the trend.
I dont know, if you make them then post a picture so that i can decide if i want on or not.
[This message has been edited by Narcoplectic (edited 07-29-2005).]
Hell fucking yes I would. But do you really think a lot of people would? I mean, back when totse had the whole merchandise (shirts, boxers, etc.) rarely ANYONE bought them, do you think they will with these. Well, most people didn't buy the other stuff ebcause they just said totse.com on them.
Anyway, I would buy in bulk, and to have my username on it I would of course pay extra, it would kick some major ass.

Yea. We really need to have a unique color scheme, otherwise people just look at it and go "Ohh, your wearing one of those <insert color here> bracelets everyone else is wearing"
Also, perhaps we could buy these as "donations" to totse? Like donate some money and receive a free gift. http://www.totse.com/bbs/biggrin.gif (http://www.totse.com/bbs/biggrin.gif)
I'd buy one, we should have something under our usernames on the site to prove who brought one though, i don't think i'd bother havin my username on the band though i wouldn't want to explain to every moron who saw it what it ment.

We need totse.com caps or top hats.
Seriously, I'd buy a box full.
Would you make a store section on totse? Or would they be available through cafepress?
Also, I agree about those kids and their wrist bands. And I thought I was alone. http://www.totse.com/bbs/biggrin.gif (http://www.totse.com/bbs/biggrin.gif)

id but one or 2, it would be awesome if they were all psychadelic colors or black with bright green writing or something. but id get some even if they wernt an id just color them myself
edit: i hate all thoes ppl too, i want one thats against being healthy

It's the best idea you've had since your last idea. http://www.totse.com/bbs/smile.gif (http://www.totse.com/bbs/smile.gif)

I agree on the color scheme. Maybe make them a two toned color. Possibly the same two colors as the totse background?
XiPPiLLi
2005-07-29, 17:30
As far as colors go, I think any of these would suffice:
Turquoise
Sky blue
Blue-Green
White
Or any combination of those.
Or maybe also that white-blue color that surrounds new posts (Or is it grey? I cant tell with the surrounding color.)
Something that matches the color scheme of totse.
Also, I'd prefer to have &TOTSE as opposed to TOTSE.COM, so people can ask questions and learn about it, instead of coming here with whatever expectations and finding only the Bad Ideas section. You know, so they can know what &T is all about, and not just what covers it.
As well as the bracelets, I think that the cafepress should be updated with new swag, and its link put back up. I bet mousepads would sell more than the mugs and T-shirts, and that &TOTSE (Or maybe just &T), as opposed to totse.com, would increase some sales.

2005-07-29, 17:55
i'd definetly buy one or even a couple, but as said many times above, they'd ahve to be pretty strange colors to distinguish them among the faggot's normal braclets
I may think about, consider this, but if I did get the username on it could it say "Speaker" because as you know I am the speaker.
Has anyone seen this? http://tinyurl.com/9u6ps Cafepress totse? I think someone is already merchandising off the TOTSE name.

2005-07-29, 18:31

As far as raising funds for totse i think it's a great idea seeing as those little rubber bracelets are all the rage amoung the kids these days.
Personally though, i wouldn't buy one. When Lance Armstrong first started having those made they were great. Its proceeds went to cancer research and helped raise awareness. Then they became "cool" and the message they were sending out became lost. Now it almost seem slike they're being worn just becuase everyone else is wearing them.
That's just my opinion.
Also, just out of curiousity, how much money does it take to maintain this site? Or is that classified?

I Like That. You know what be more badass? If you could get shirts made out of the totse background and put the logo on the top right pocket.
I think an armband would be better than a bracelet.

I think it'd be worth it to pay extra to get what you want on there. I would. But I also agree with what a lot of you are saying, the wristbands are now "cool" which makes them suck. So I'd prefer a shirt, matt thats a good idea with the totse background.
Evil Furby Laugh
2005-08-01, 03:23
If you wouldn't mind letting everyone who reads your t-shirt know about totse.com then you could have the whole shirt covered with the TOTSE background and have a screenshot of the TOTSE homepage on the back. It might be cool.

I would buy one.
And concerning shirts, I would buy one if it were black,and simple.
I don't like alot of colors. A plain,black shirt with "&TOTSE" in white bold letters across the chest,with no other writing, would be great.
I'd love to be out in public and meet someone who knows what it is without having to ask.
Then,I'd gladly pay 20 bucks.
Id get one, but I'd prefer a key chain...

quote:Q: I want to buy [item X] as described on the page [url].
A: We're not selling anything. We do have banner ads that various advertisers use to sell their stuff, and we get a few pennies whenever someone buys something. If what you want to buy is shown in a banner ad, click the ad and you'll be connected to the advertiser's site.
EDIT: worst case scenario: change the FAQ
If you're talking about something for sale that's described within an article that's posted on one of our pages... chances are someone snuck an article in with an advertisement embedded in the article. It is highly likely that the author no longer sells whatever is being advertised. We'll remove old, outdated advertisments from an article's text as soon as someone points one out to us. If you really want to buy [item X], contact the author of the article first and see if they're still selling it.
Totse admins are not selling these for profit, as is the spirit of your above post. They are doing it to support the website.

But the &totse bracelets are a great idea. The color scheme should be like the background design of totse. And there should be different ones. One should say "the temple of the screaming electron." Another one should say "the IN crowd &totse." Just make them vary so people could buy one to. their liking or a couple different ones. If not the background design, than black or the colors ArgonPlasma suggested. Maybe the color of the Ego, Erotica, Fringe, etc. tabs.
