    We don't make on money on it

I'll just say this, again -- the only reason I have never bought anything from that store is that it DOESN'T go toward server costs. If I'm gonna pay 20$ for an iphone cover, someone I know better be getting part of the money.

I do however love the hell out of my hubski shirt courtesy thenewgreen, which I wear weekly.

I have to agree, thenewgreen. I don't think anyone would have a problem if swag money went to the site's costs. I think the mindset most people have is that they buy things like that because they want to financially support the site. Or at the very least, are totally okay with supporting it being a byproduct of them spreading the word of the site through swag.

again, you're welcome :)

We will have a way to support server costs this year. I promise.

Beyond that, it's valuable to get the word out and a shirt can be a conversation starter.

It happens.
