Oh man, next apparel purchase will most certainly be a Hubski hoodie.

I have a hoodie addiction.

I would get it now but I'm busy collecting polos for work.

Edit: Was there a new influx of users? I kinda felt like that was the case, but it's quieter than that Reddit conspiracy debacle.

I think it's just the people that stuck around after that influx starting to be more active and more noticeable as commenters/posters as opposed to just seeing them in #newtohubski threads

Unless we did have a silent influx recently...

elizabetth and eightbitsamurai, I think it's a combination of both. We definitely had a recent surge of people coming by the site but for the most part they were very quiet and tended to lurk. It was not a reddit post that brought them here which is why I think they were less inclined to jump right in and begin posting/commenting. I think insomniasexx is going to post something about it in the not too distant future, though I know she's up to her elbows in work/studies. But there are some interesting observations that came from the recent influx.

By the way, I really enjoyed your recent post about your trip to the abandoned NSA spy station. Thanks for the virtual tour.

No problem, I've been meaning to do a #tripreport for a while about Berlin, but it would really not do it any justice if I condensed it all in one post so I decided to focus on our afternoon in Teufelsberg.

I once had a bag of m&ms that I grabbed from a nearby gasstation in the middle of the night because a man has needs sometimes alright.

Anyways yeah, crossing the street, I realized that I was one bag of chocolate and a trigger happy dude away from a hate-crime.

That website still doesn't really tell us anything about the hoodies. I've complained pointlessly about this before somewhere.

But the real question is how much does hubski get from a hoodie purchase?

We have the markup set at 0....so 0.

:((( that sucks! I figured at least a percentage went to y'all.

I mean, props etc. Someday you will break down and add a classy donate button someplace.

We have the option to add a markup. We just have it set to 0 right now and pass those few bucks onto you. A few bucks in our pockets and isn't going to have a huge effect. Plus, we should be thanking you for wearing our garb, not the other way around!
