Ever go on vacation, and by the time your vacation ends, you can't wait to get home? See your own bed, know your way around furniture in the dark, dive in your own waters.... If you don't get it, I can't explain it. Calvin, this wrules. Oh yeah, one other thing.....

I WANT AN NWDC STICKER WITH THE DIVE FLAG/ORCA ON IT!!!!! And maybe a t-shirt...?

I was thinking a nice slate blue t-shirt with the logo banner across it....

WOW.

Funny you should mention it too. OK, that seals the deal!

A bumper sticker would be really perfect too!

Calvin, love the color combos. It's relaxing, the blues and the greens.

Here's the deal with stickers. I have some, they're the NWDC logo on black. But, they weren't terribly waterproof. One DM put one on his truck and it melted during the first rainstorm. :vom: I think BJ put one on his tank and put masking tape over it and it worked.

However, if someone wants to find a reasonably priced place to get *waterproof* stickers made, I'll provide the artwork and payment for them. I agree, it would be nice to be able to have that pretty NWDC logo on our tanks, bumpers and dive logs.

Site looks awesome! I know some people who have had large amounts of custom vinyl stickers made. I will get into contact and find out which places they used. If anything, vinyl is likely the material to use for waterproofness.

Super! Thanks very much Calvin for the programming and Nailer for the ruler to the knuckles!

I'd call you guys "Brains" :smt024 and "Brawn" :naka: but I know you're both much more multidimensioned. (I'm sure that's a word somewhere...)

I'm late to the party, but this is amazing!! :prayer: :prayer: :prayer:

Calvin Rocks! :supz: Thanks Calvin!

Ditto on the T-Shirts and Bumper Stickers. Time for a new round!

Calvin, If you don't have time to do it I'm betting we could find a volunteer that you could work with. Spatman set up some Voodoo gas stickers on a commonly known web site that of course escapes me at the moment, but it seems pretty easy to do. The stickers were good quality, waterproof, etc., at least to my memory.

thanks for the kind words everyone, I'm glad you all didn't go running for the hills during the weeks where the site was, well, without the window dressing.

mancub, please let us know about the vinyl stickers. Val sent me some good info on Cafepress prices to compare to what you come up with. I think we'll need 500-1000 stickers. We can do a t-shirt run for the summer season too. Volunteers to help are definitely welcome!

I've started a new thread for the stickers and shirts.

The site doesn't provide RSS functionality out of the box (kinda lame), but I'll look into mods for it, though you may be the only user of this feature ;)
