For shame, Tom. You couldn't have chosen a non-blurry pic? I know you had one on that camera!

By the way, are sticker purchases being credited too?

Those have always been credited and will carry over from what you currently display on your userpage.

That's the only one I'd actually consider getting. There's not any larger images of the design on it, is there? You can't really make it out in the store.

You will in the new one... :)

Do you mean the item name on the receipt. I see quite a few "name"s on that list.

I mean the name your parents gave you.

As you may know, we've been working hard on our official NG store for quite some time...

I'm happy to say that after a few false starts we are well on our way to launching this beast. We've had the look and feel envisioned since September, but the administration end of things was the largest hurdle for us and Rob is knocking it out of the ballpark.

One of the features of our new store will be its integration with your user accounts. Once it launches, everyone will have the option to display their purchases on their user page. It's completely optional, but Jeff whipped up some pretty stylish badges for every item in the store for those of you who enjoy bragging (*cough* stat whores *cough*) about how much NG gear you've racked up. The reason I'm mentioning this now is because we want to give the display option to those who have already purchased something from our current PayPal store.

If you're interested in having your previous PayPal purchases credited to your NG account and the items displayed on your user page, you have the option of digging up your PayPal email receipt and emailing the following information -- and ONLY the following information -- to store@newgrounds.com:

1. The NAME on your receipt.
2. The TRANSACTION ID on your receipt.
3. Your USERNAME, so we know which account to credit.
(If you leave out any necessary information, we'll simply ignore the email and you won't get credit, so for your own good PLEASE make sure you get it right.)

Similarly, if you'd like any T-shirts that you've won in a monthly contest or art contest in the past year to be credited as well, simply email the same address with your USERNAME and the MONTH/YEAR you earned the prize.

And what kind of store post would this be without additions to our current store? Some of our artists and fans will be happy to hear that we now have a limited supply of 3XL shirts for many of our designs and in some cases even larger -- all the way up to 6XL. Also, the Metal Gear Awesome shirt is back in stock for all sizes, so if you've been waiting for that then now's your chance.

And now, some additional community news...

Jazza is looking for beta testers for his new game! He also has a new album that you can buy on iTunes.

The seventh annual Clock Day is August 15th! We are once again offering prizes for the best Clock Flash, as to be decided by senior members of the Clock Crew:

1st: $500 + t-shirt and stickers
2nd: $250 + t-shirt and stickers
3rd: $250 + t-shirt and stickers
4th: $250 + t-shirt and stickers
5th: $250 + t-shirt and stickers
6th-10th: t-shirt and stickers

We are also having a second Madness Day this fall, most likely on September 22nd like last year. There will be prizes, which we'll announce later!

Yeah. Mainly because Safari deems it necessary to make every input field all shiny and glowy...

Well, it tries to streamline all the input elements in a single way to maintain a somewhat consistent browsing experience from site to site, and also because it matches the Mac more.

We're not all bitter. :(

I say let there be as many threads as people want about NG stuff. Don't worry, the weak convos will sink to the bottom.

We are starting small, sir. Don't worry, we have big plans for these "Tankies", but see how long it took us already? Next year it will be bigger and sooner.

The theme is everywhere, but only the front page headers are clickable to take you to the Awards page.

And yes, Jeff did all the art for this one. Mindchamber should keep doing more though too, don't you agree? I loved the Pico Day one.

Dude they came out like a day ago didn't they? Relax. It's certainly no reason to toss out the idea of listening to suggestions for ALL TIME. Give it about a month so you have a better picture of what's going on.

You're probably right. I just hate backing ideas and having them blow up in my face, business-wise.

So, amongst the girls of NG who posted in this thread only TropicalParadise was true to her promise. I'm not questioning anyone's fan-dom or saying everyone needs to buy something, but those who *said* they would are all fucking liars. :P

WHAT DO WE WANT? 3XL SHIRT SIZES! WHEN DO WE WANT'EM? NOW!

As I've mentioned before, just PM me with your size and I'll give you the designs we have for you. We do have 3XL-5XL in select designs.

Do you usually put oldschool NG stickers with the shirts now? I didn't get one when I ordered my first Shirt, but I got one with the Pico shirt I just received from TropicalParadise and Zerok :P

That was JUST FOR YOU, since they asked me to treat you right. Figured it'd add to the surprise.

Most of them are Hanes Beefy Tees. The exception is the Tankmen Smoking shirt, which is American Apparel and that runs a little small.

debit cards with a visa symbol, sure. p.s. debit cards aren't as safe as credit cards.

At 4/25/08 10:30 PM, madlawyer wrote: I got two questions:

-Is the Tankmen figure poseable?
-Can you save on shipping by buying in bulk?

1. The arms move up and down, and the head swivels, but not totally "poseable".
2. Yes, we only charge by weight what it actually costs us to ship, and it goes up only incrementally.

The new store will have sizes up to 5XL.

If you need one now, just PM me and i'll help you out.

At 4/24/08 09:38 PM, Timmy wrote: $5 for a key chain?

Surely you jest.

Sir,

We have had several ideas for how to respond to your comment.

Jeff suggested "Suck thy dick."

Tom suggested "You're right, it should be $10".

I'll ignore both of those and get right to the heart of the issue. What do YOU think is fair for a keychain? Have you ever bought a keychain at a retail store before? I have, and not once did I see one of this quality for less than $7. Believe me, I checked. We know how finicky our users are.

But I'm glad you posted that comment, Jose and I were betting just how long it would be before someone complained that we were selling something for more than 50 cents. And lo, it was only 36 minutes after the announcement. At least we got it out of the way now, so thanks for that.
