Is it my imagination or are some things missing . . . a co-worker of mine wants to get a Norwregian Way mug - and I can't find in in the store . . . Maybe I've finally lost it!

It didn't seem like there was as much stuff.

I was debating whether buying my hubby Sig boxers was a good idea. :)

Are you looking for this?...

Northwestern Gear

As far as a know the official store is still up. From what I understand the forum shop is another entity.

PRESS RELEASE

NEW SHOP PROVIDES SUPPORT AND SERVICE FOR FVNORTHWESTERN SITES

SEATTLE, WA, August 12, 2007: We are proud to announce that the official merchandise store for the forums is now open. The store was opened in hopes of generating revenue to put money back into the sites for future enhancements.

Currently the site is running on a dedicated server actually serves 3 F/V Northwestern sites to include the Gallery, Forums and Main Homepage. As you know we had to limit the use of the gallery due to bandwidth restrictions and server performance.

We are hoping that the sales from this store will allow us to upgrade the site even further by upgrading to a new server and allowing for more bandwidth.

This was in the Site News - I wonder if both sites will stay active?

I THINK the proceeds from the forum shop will go to help defer the costs of keeping the forum running?

That's correct. The forum shop proceeds should help us get more bandwidth.

So where do the proceeds from the other site go to?

Is there anyway to give the forums money without buying stuff?
