“But Eric,” you ask, “I’m ridiculously excited for this, but I have no money!”

Haha, i was thinking that exact thing when looking at the prices.

Hmm...

I think plushies are an AWESOME idea. And since it was Brandon's idea (he's at least partially involved) it should be easier to know if there are any copyright infringements too.

For the ads.. *holds up crucifix* I'd much rather have them grouped up than spread out on the page (2 on top and another 4 on the bottom). Something like facebook where they're all on the side might work, although how that effects ease of viewing posts might change because right now on this page there's already a side bar.

For premium membership.. I possibly dislike it more than ads. However, I was browsing multiple Wheel of Time forum and theory sites a few years ago and I can't remember which one but I saw that one has some sort of Quote/Source finder helper for premium members. I forget how much the each person paid but those who like to theorize a lot could find it useful to have a similar thing. I'm sure there are other people who know more about it in here. I don't like premium membership stuff, but something like this could work. I remember that site had LOTS of quoting by posters, and something like that might increase that stuff here, as a lot of people (myself included) mostly vaguely mention citings without explicitly writing it out. That site also had citations as a requirement for an official theory (something similar to our espoused theory thing). I'm not sure if it would work here, or if you guys would want it, it could definitely change the atmosphere of the site, but thought I should mention it.

The automatic book release order thing is really interesting, I am very intrigued.

Also, the 17thshard logo is AWESOME, so it MUST be somehow incorporated into all the merchandise; like on the little tab on the plushes.

AGH! I curse that I live in the wrong state... I live in CA, but I can't make the LA or San Diego ones on the tour due to conflicts. CURSES!!
