I think that would be a great way to support this website.

yeah, pretty gay idea.

but I can't agree with weijia.

so yeah, eh, neat idea, where can I get them?

Yeah, I was thinking about t-shirts too. There're several companies that do custom t-shirts and other stuff (eg http://www.cafeshops.com/), but I wasn't sure if anyone would buy them.

So, I just need your votes ;) If I get at least 10 I'll go ahead and order some t-shirts... :angel:

you don't think it may attract unwanted(/dumb) visitors?

Weijia, for one...

I'd probably buy one.

slayme_returns
2003-06-14, 10:54
I could've sworn that I posted I'd buy one as long as it said Shut the fuck up, weijia on it somewhere.

Def
2003-06-14, 11:34
yeah, that goes for me too, that's a classic, can't forget about weijia!

MetalPoldi

I'd get one that says 'Shut the fuck up, weijia,' or commemorates the Black Metal Wars, but only if that one acted like there were actual casualties and everything like a real war. I'm not sure where I'd wear it, though. I mean, I'd wear the first one if I saw weijia regularly, so I wouldnt have to waste my breath saying the same five words over and over again, but I dont see him regularly, and hope to never do so. But yes, making fun of weijia in a way that anyone can see it's a good idea, and a t-shirt sounds like an effective enough way to do it. So, yes, I'm pro-anti-weijia.

If it said metaltabs or something, and have the most memorable quotes or something on the back or front, might be kinda neat.

Then again....who knows.

powersofterror
2003-06-14, 15:20
if it was a black shirt, and the back has all the cool posters,
and the front says shut the fuck up weijia...maybe.

MetalPoldi
2003-06-14, 17:55
No.



I'd prefer a green shirt like the colour of the site.
On the front it should had the logo with this old-letters.
On the back "Shut the fuck up, weijia." in red letters.

guitar_demon
2003-06-14, 20:06
thats cool and in the corner where a shirt pocket would be it could say our names (i.e. doc, def, slayme ect..) and for the mods in big yellow letter it says mod with a picture of big bird holding a sign with different quites like the classic "shut the fuck up" or what about that great hit by slayme "fuck black metal" or that awsome 2003 hit "fuckass":p :p ...... nah but it cold be cool depending on how they came out but it shoudl just say Metaltabs and not Metaltabs.com

atifman
2003-06-14, 21:09
dark green shirt, orange logo, that'd be nice


i'm a bit opposed to weird quotes, 'cause i don't want strangers asking me the meaning behind them when they see it.


i'd still buy the shirt tho.

Dyldo
2003-06-15, 00:50
can we have speical shirts for the mods t hat say "I licked slayme's ballls and survived".

No, the shirt should not have anyone's username on the damned thing. It SHOULD say METAL TABS.COM. What the fuck is the point for nomad having a bunch of jackasses walking around not properly promoting his site? No .com on the end of it = not proper advertising. That's what these shirts are essentially for aren't they?

Now, if I could have mine specially made so it says "FUCK BLACK METAL" on the back, that'd be fucking super.

Kramer
2003-06-16, 07:51
Maybe on the front it could have the logo and say "your source for metal tabs" and on the back it could have like 100 really small logos of bands that we have tabs for.

MetalPoldi
2003-06-16, 07:58
That'd be a huge piece of work and i think you won't become aware of one of those covers.
Just plain "metaltabs.com" woul be enough.

slayme_returns
2003-06-16, 08:02
Yes, exactly. Having band logos would potentially cause licensing problems as well, and besides, having "metaltabs.com" is enough for Joe Blow to understand that there's probably metal tabs there. It's not like he's gonna be studying the back of your shirt to find a band.


It'd look nice, Kramer, but isn't practical.

MechanicalRaper
2003-06-16, 11:24
"Fuck Black Metal" is about the only thing you really could put on there as a logo. Most people would never understand the inside jokes, like "Shut the Fuck Up, Weijia"... and the "licked Slayme's balls"...

A simple logo would be fine.

slayme_returns
2003-06-16, 11:57
I meant Fuck Black Metal on my shirt. It'd be wrong to have that on all them as the majority here dig the music, not to mention there's tabs of a bazillion black metal bands here.

memnoch
2003-06-16, 16:03
Haha..."FUCK BLACK METAL......yet we do carry tabs of it!"

The Doctor
2003-06-17, 02:47
i'd most defenetly buy one, black with the metaltabs.com logo in green ofcourse.

atifman
2003-06-17, 13:16
how about on the back, a big picture of far_beyond_sane's avatar.......

okay, that doesn't sound like a good idea......
i'll just have to iron-on transfer that image myself. :)

id buy one


i like black metal:angry:

Fuck, I'd buy a t-shirt. Its gotta have a cool looking guitar on it somewhere.

CarnivorousWind

I'd buy one :D

Darkenelf
2003-07-12, 05:54
Just a black t-shirt with on the front side in smaller letters: www.metaltabs.com (green)

On the back of the shirt in big green letters as well the same: www.metaltabs.com

maybe you can put a green pentagram on it or a viking cross, or whatever!

metal=life
2003-07-12, 13:36
Yeah, it needs a metal logo of some sort. Maybe different shirts for different genres of metal?

The Doctor
2003-07-12, 16:56
in dont reaslly xare whats on it, justdo it!!!!

Jose Arriaga
2003-07-14, 08:24
it should be green and say metal tabs on front and on the back it should have a something like metal heador another motto:uzi: :( :homer:

I like the "FUCK BLACK METAL" idea. I'd so buy one then.

slayme_returns
2003-07-14, 10:20
It'd be even cooler if you shut the fuck up.


Black metal logos looks like a pile of ass, with ass stuffed inside the pile of ass. Worst logos ever.

Def
2003-07-14, 13:37
yeah, plus you won't be able to read it.

that's so bm

lol

2003-07-14, 15:38
put a big hand on the back, like this

Hey, that's just my opinion.

RUSSIANROULETTE
2003-08-19, 23:01
I'd definately buy one.

The bm logo idea is bad because you wouldn't be able to read it but a dm logo would be perfect:rolleyes:

But seriously, a Metaltabs.com shirt would be fucking great. Maybe one day we would see bands that we like wearing the shirts and it turns out they're members and we didn't know about it.

Oh, and I'll be more than glad to help out with any "logo" designing.

Hail:beer:

on the other hand 'fuck black metal' has a nice ring to it.

metal=life
2003-08-21, 13:46
We could have this entire thread on the back of the shirt. Good memories...not really.


Just a black shirt with green "www.metaltabs.com" written on the front. Cheap and easy and still looks cool.

Def
2003-08-21, 15:47
yeah or something like 'metaltabs.com - the place for cunts and titties'

RUSSIANROULETTE
2003-08-21, 21:02
The back should have a pic from one of the "Nicest Tits" threads:p

FearFrost
2003-08-22, 11:32
I would buy a T-Shirt

artofnothing6
2003-08-22, 11:58
if it said

Front:

METALTABS.COM

Back:

\m/

i'd buy it in a second. Why buy a shirt that says metaltabs.com, but yet think the "\m/" is gay? make it with a \m/, it'd be so funny.

Def
2003-08-22, 11:59
mm, its just too cliché.

plus you'll get all the local nu-metal kids giving you the thumbs up and screaming 'KITTIE ROCK!!!'

I dunno, a cool text on the back would be better, or some sick picture, like sane and his kangeroo

RUSSIANROULETTE
2003-08-22, 12:33
I agree with Def

If the back would have a "web" thing it should be this motherfucker right here:vampire:

or this one:stoned:

DELETE79
2003-08-22, 13:03
I WOULD ADD A "NO SPAMMING ALLOWED" ON THE BACK

societys finest
2003-08-23, 13:28
that would be fucking gay

on the back it should say FUCK PUNK

G_urr_A
2003-08-23, 13:54
I'd buy a black shirt with green "www.metaltabs.com" or (better imo) a green shirt with orange "www.metaltabs.com". I'd rather not have it saying "fuck black metal". Darko's old avatar (the guy (in the avatar, not Darko himself) fucking a teddy bear) would be cool on the back!

mrweijia
2003-08-23, 15:25
i'd rather just have the back black

RUSSIANROULETTE
2003-08-23, 21:48
We could use a logo like this and get sued by Metallicunt:rolleyes:

The Doctor
2003-08-24, 06:21
hehe, it looks more like a blackmetal logo. but you did a good job!
:beer:

Def

black metal logos look waaay worse, this logo is okay, you can ACTUALLY READ what it spells.

I would add 'shut the fuck up weijia' on the back.

metaltabs is one giant pile of spam so...

The Doctor
2003-08-24, 07:14
well, the shirts of metaltabs.com shouldnt be about the forum, but about the tab register.

nomad should make a www.metaltabs.com/forum shirt.

guitar_demon
2003-08-24, 09:15
we should put one of sans relly long writings that way someone cunt will start to read it but you keep moving and he has to follow you to finish it haha:D

Kramer
2003-08-24, 12:57
Hahahaha I like that idea...if I noticed someone was trying to read the back of my shirt I would keep moving around just to annoy them

we should put this on the back

"DECLARATION OF WAR TO HUMANITY.

Def
2003-09-01, 10:09
we're not all as fat as you doctor, and I think it'll only fit xxxxxl shirts.

so ehm, no that won't work. for most of us.

I'm still for a cool logo (with metaltabs.com) and a cool fucking piece of quote on the backside of the shirt, preferably 'Shut the FUCK up weijia.' or maybe 'CradleofMike sucks goat chode'

MeTalManiac555
2003-09-01, 18:53
I will buy one if they get made. I don't think that he would put fuck black metal on there either, so why did you even post that up? Damn why the hell did I put that about black metal, I thought someone said to put fuck black metal and now it's changed, I guess one of you mods did it.

PST 88
2003-09-01, 19:51

2003-09-15, 04:07
Hmmm, the dates on the postings in this thread are all over the shop but the earliest one I found in my half-hearted search was July 2001. Not sure if that's correct, but if it is, that's 4 pages in just over 2 years & still no t-shirts.

Good ol' fashioned democracy in action. I like it!

My vote says black w green writing & / or vice versa would be just fine. A 'fuck you' message on the back would also be acceptable if absolutely necessary.

slayme_returns
2003-09-15, 11:04
Actually the first post was in July of this year, you probably saw nomad's register date and mistook that for a post date.

nomad's got shit to do, and other things on his plate so t-shirts aren't exactly priority and he's said that before.

Def
2003-09-15, 12:12
plus how the hell would people have to pay.

someone must cash in the money, print the shirts and send them abroad.

well, printing tshirts is pretty easy if you have a inktjet printer you can buy those transfers, they turn out pretty well.

Stuff is Great
2003-09-17, 03:24
Point taken. The two essential ingredients for the success of this little project would have to be a) a complete lack of concern for losing money when no one buys said shirts as they said they would, & b) care. Neither of which a great many members of metaltabs would be understood to possess in any special abundance.

Yay for apathy & shit ideas (I'm doing an arts degree).

we might be able to use this:

http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/sell/

i think it's free to use the service, plus the shirts don't end up being too expensive

if it works how i think it does, nomad doesn't have to do jack in his busy life, except for signing up the account, and uploading the images.
and he makes money off of this too (i don't think he'll lose money either)

here's an example shirt from an unsigned band Course of Evolution:

http://www.cafeshops.com/coe.6310868

16$ plus 5 bucks shipping, minimum. (i'm not sure how much our shirts would cost though)

2 Atif: Cafepress is a great company but unfortunately they don't have black t-shirts, only white and ash-gray.

2 All: I'm checking out different options at the moment. I'll do my best to start selling metaltabs.com t-shirts before the end of this year.

powersofterror
2003-09-21, 19:21
If you do a white one, I'd only wear it to workout in, like a sleeveless or "wife-beater." Can't wear white all the time though...;) :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
