port80.se delink

QuakeNet T-Shirts!

Posted by Ferg on Saturday 04 October 2003

After much hard work and many heated discussions, QuakeNet is proud to announce it's own on-line shop. There are a wide range of t-shirts etc. available to buy, and we hope they meet your expectations.

The shop can be found at http://www.cafeshops.com/quakenetirc. You should also be aware that the shop is setup to provide 0% profit to QuakeNet and related entities.

For your information, we chose cafepress.com because it was the only company we could find that gave us direct control over the shop, it also didn't require a large upfront expenditure that as a non-profit organisation, QuakeNet cannot pay. Unfortunately this means that the shop is US based, and can only provide white clothing. This is however, still better than nothing! :)

Please log in to post comments.
Nice :)

[12:16] <@Voronoi> I\'ll give the first person to run around in a busy city with the thong on his head $10 what are you waiting for?

CRaZY said on Saturday 04 October 2003

lol sry but the last year quakenet did just bullshit!

andr0S said on Saturday 04 October 2003

Sorry but most of those items are just tacky(sp?), I liked the one in the previews with just the logo on. None of those are nice.

TheSaviourX said on Saturday 04 October 2003

Why no thongs in the male section? :/ btw there should be a cheesy poof section for all the hardcore nerds. Seriously, good work. Personally I won\'t buy because I\'m not a staff member, feels cinda silly to have etc a qnet shirt when your not part of the organisation. Hope it works out well and I can hardly wait untill I see the first cheesy poof wering a qnet shirt :]

kjuze said on Saturday 04 October 2003

Unfortunately, due to quakenet\'s non-profit making nature and other complicated reasons, the best company for us to use was cafepress. BEcause of this, it\'s US based, and it only supports white clothing. It\'s not the best situation, but it\'s better than nothing.

Ferg said on Saturday 04 October 2003

haha nice one :) ill be ordering a mousemat and shirt sometime soon I think

Zipplet[FS] said on Saturday 04 October 2003

#11, the staff members are able to buy \"STAFF\" and \"OPERATOR\" t-shirts :)

Ferg said on Saturday 04 October 2003

#14 yeah I remember, the previous made by lou was really nice. Be sure to wear them proudly Ferg :] About the US and white part it doesn\'t matter, I think it\'s nice to get anything at all rather then complaining that you can\'t have them in black. Well done everyone involved.

kjuze said on Saturday 04 October 2003

I think this is a bit funny... Who\'s gonna buy a QuakeNet shirt? I mean, who wanna be known as a geek :)? If you walk around a city with a t-shirt like that, everyone is gonna know your a geek :)

QuakeNet T-Shirts! rofl but write on the shirt \" netsplit is comming \" :>

xTroM said on Saturday 04 October 2003

Am I the only one wondering why these bear little resemblance to the original page @ http://www.quakenet.org/tshirts/ ? Not only are the designs completely different, but even the financial aspects are. It was stated that \"the money we raise from t-shirts just helps us buy new servers and hard drives and network card\" - yet now they say they are not getting anything from it? Sounds to me like something major changed along the way and the users weren\'t told about it... Shame...

MikeC said on Sunday 05 October 2003

we want fishbot t-shirts :D

qpox said on Sunday 05 October 2003

@#28 : I think the link you posted was an old idea, and now they got an online shop to do the work. If not, I want to know why they changed, too, tho.

TDK|Terminator said on Sunday 05 October 2003

#30, even if it was an old idea, and they got an online shop to do it, it won\'t answer the question why they said back then the money would be used for servers and now they say diffrent.

dopeh said on Sunday 05 October 2003

if i see someone wearing one of those shirts i think i might acctually die of laughter

Fiddles said on Monday 06 October 2003

Nice guys.. But try to fix the Q database :D .. if you eaven can.

Enarsson said on Monday 06 October 2003

i guess if you start a survey about what people want, Q would get much more points than this shirt project. sry to start that discussion again but thats the truth.

Lufi said on Tuesday 07 October 2003

And you think that the development team spent time designing t-shirts when they could be working on Q? Something about that sounds odd. I can\'t quite put my finger on it.

Deckard said on Wednesday 08 October 2003

Its a pity you guys couldn\'t license the Quake symbol from id - in fact, it would be nice if they just gave you it to use. In fact, start a petition :)

Novotny said on Wednesday 08 October 2003

Well what more can I say someone has said it for us all. \"i guess if you start a survey about what people want, Q would get much more points than this shirt project. sry to start that discussion again but thats the truth.\"

ODOO said on Wednesday 08 October 2003

But a T-Shirt might be nice also as I live on quakenet 24/7

ODOO said on Wednesday 08 October 2003

for #28: when we originally designed the thirts they were going to be 4 colour screen printed tshirts. to do this we needed 1,000 pre-orders - we got 50. Cafepress do a good job for no cost to us.

cro said on Wednesday 08 October 2003

#38 - we\'re not all coders, so we\'re not all working on Q. I\'m sure if I spent time working on Q it would take *LONGER* than organising t-shirts, and all kudos to Ferg for doing so. I assume you think we all do the same thing as opers?

cro said on Wednesday 08 October 2003

#37 Apples != Oranges. Or in plainer terms: \"tshirts were organised by a group of opers who are not - and can not - work on Q\". Do you also complain to gas company when your phone stops working?

cro said on Wednesday 08 October 2003

*g*

Lufi said on Thursday 09 October 2003

we want fishbot t-shirts :D

Pipa said on Friday 10 October 2003

a fishbot t-shirt is being worked on ;)

Ferg said on Friday 10 October 2003

[german] hab mir die comments jetzt nicht durchgelesen, aber sie t-shirts sehen nicht unbedingt so klasse aus ;o naja wie w&#228;re es mit einem einheitlichen, schlichten T-shirt wo einfach nur quakenet.org und der bevorzugte chan drausteht? so auf brusth&#246;he der channel oder so. dann k&#246;nnte man den chan direkt joinen wenn man mal jemanden mit sonem thisrt auf der strasse sieht (nur f&#252;r reallife leute ;o) naja. ka, hab auch schon was getrunken^^ denkt mal dr&#252;ber nach..

HollinG said on Friday 10 October 2003

lol.... das mal wirklich das laecherlichste was es gibt =)

pRi` said on Saturday 11 October 2003

I also got one of those shops :)

FlygaN said on Saturday 11 October 2003

Not bad those t-shirts. Won\'t it be better if you people introduce black t-shirts as well? With the orange logo of Quakenet? Perfect combination, like this website! :)

dbz-gt said on Saturday 11 October 2003

Jo haesslich sind se definitiv ... aber was solls, wir haben nen lokalen Beflock-Anbieter, da kann ich auch T-Shirts bedrucken lassen, kauf ich mir im ALDI halt n 5&#128;-T-Shirt und lass des mit fishbot bedrucken, da komm ich qualitativ und kostenmaessig besser bei weq. <:

mgtatdev said on Saturday 11 October 2003

yeah T-shirts hmmmzzz really good When will the Q request will be back or let us put more users in L plz We are a multigaming clan and changed our chan name so we just have L :\'( Or we want to change Q from our older chans :s

diseased said on Sunday 12 October 2003

#48 :D but please! not the style the other tshirts are, i think you want to sell them or don`t u :) would be nice if the tshirt would be black, then in the upper right the qnet logo and unter it quakenet.org (orange or so :o ?) but NOT too big, small one, and on the back \"<&#176;)))))><\" big :> and then mhh dunno \"fishbot owns\" \"Aye, I do\" :P

Pipa said on Sunday 12 October 2003

As Quakenet explained in the post, the t-shirts can\'t be black, because Cafeshops only offer white t-shirts. I must say that the designs on offer aren\'t very appealing though. You could do a full-colour \'Q\', instead of the crappy cop-out you have now :\\. Also, I\'d be more tempted to buy one if Quakenet benefitted from it. Just my two pence.

laser said on Sunday 12 October 2003

#56 ok; read it some days ago, so i don`t remembered... mhh white sux, maybe you should search another shop who gives you what you want/need AND black thirts :/

Pipa said on Sunday 12 October 2003

hehe, some of the comments remind me of the two years i worked for an UO-Server. \"Yeah, somehow nice, but what about this and that bug? Wouldn\'t fixing them be way better than doing this useless stuff?\" I really appreciate and like the T-Shirts (especially the \"[Sorry 4 AMSG]\" one) and would maybe even buy one, if i would see them somewhere in a shop over here in Europe. Too bad though that they are so noticeable geek-stuff =)

BS|Havoc said on Sunday 12 October 2003

Lol. Nice one Quakenet. Alas, if only Cafe Press allowed Black ones. I suppose they cost more. Oh well. /me *giggles* at the [SRY 4 AMSG] one.

Cheez said on Sunday 12 October 2003

I think the idea of \"Why play with yourself?\" slogan on a girly t-shirt is quite funny. But buying it in the original shop would make me a poor hungry girl so if I feel like I have to wear such geeky stuff I also will buy one at the copy shop here in Europe. Or some nice guy over there over the big blue sea will offer them at ebay maybe ? :) *looks desprate* err errrr Q is great like it is ... I think *confused* err girls do not like bots, chicks need real man working ;) maybe ... or not ? :D

MSGw|Lara said on Monday 13 October 2003

nice idea =)

[-SC-]Darkman said on Monday 13 October 2003

in stead of making T-shirts, you better make that Q queue back online! Its how long offline now?

Acuity said on Tuesday 14 October 2003

Are you ...? didnt they say that the Q request system will take MUCH longer time? They will make it up again but it will take time ENJOY YA TIME ON QUAKENET AND STOP COMPLAINING! (just had to let it out)

WarlocK said on Wednesday 22 October 2003

#45: Yes. They are one and the same company... :p

Cheez said on Friday 24 October 2003

I suppose if i use my vhost go.play.with.your-self.co.uk, it\'s considered advertising you\'re swank new T-shirts? heh how about i get one for free (i only wish) prolly gonna get a G/K-line for it :-)

HB00r said on Monday 27 October 2003

lul :D c00l... gonna buy some of those *i hope*

SolHeiM said on Monday 03 November 2003

I really wonder if anyone\'s gonna buy the \"NEWBIE\" shirt :D And i even wonder if there\'s any girl who\'s gonna were the thong, but well who knows? P_p

nightliner said on Thursday 06 November 2003

well, i wouldn\'t go out on the street with it, rather would beaten down if you would offer some 1000 t-shirts i might consider to buy one ;D

ningo said on Sunday 16 November 2003

#67 i know a girl who\'s wearing a QUAKE thong... maybe i should buy her a qnet thong!?
