I was looking for The Ville Store and I noticed it wasn't there. What happened to it? I guess it probably didn't get very many customers... Maybe we can get one up like the original store where you sold custom 'Ville merchandise. That would be cool!

On a serious note I asked about it months ago and Jfet said he would get it done that weekend but like the original question that weekend was months ago too I too would like some Ville items.

It appears someone is trying to hide something. Maybe we should call it storegate

I’m with tomato on this one. Someone asked a serious question, they should get a straight answer.

okay...here is the real answer..

Jfet and i talked about putting a store in about 7 months ago and even had an event all planned out where the winner would get some ville schwag. Then things just came up in terms of needing fixing or games that needed to put in the ville, or problems that needed to be solved and the ville store got put lower and lower on the list of things we wanted to do. Also i was strongly advised by my accountant to hold off on making anything retail at the ville until we figured out how the ville would effect me in terms of taxes.

Will there ever be a ville store? Yes...will it be anytime soon...um..maybe. The ville store unfortunaly is not high on the list of things to do still. Perhaps at the start of the new year i will look into offering a few items at the ville. Though in the past it was not a very big money maker for the ville as i think the highest item was the ville thong.

I talked to Jfet about it before theVille bash in Las Vegas this summer. It would have been nice to have the items prior to the bash but that didn't work out. Why is it a question of profit? Do you make the items yourself? Whether you make any profit on the items is not really the reason to have them. The reason should be to incourage the supports to share theVille around and hopefully bring other prospective Villens to theVille.

we have to get the items from a store that makes things according to order and if we are spending more money than we are making that money comes from somewhere bleeding, it doesn't magically grow on tree's...therefore it is comming from my pocket or jfets this isn't a bad thing but we would rather not spend our money on things such as that and rather spend our money on making sure this place runs if we had to. Also you have to take in account the Ville Store was never mentioned until November...the ville store in an official capcity.....has not been available to the public since the begining of this year...my point is the ville store is not...or was not popular up until less than 48 hours ago...i.e. no one has been clammering for it to come back.

Its not all about profit...jfet and i don't make a profit on this place we do it for fun...we don't take a salary neither do the admins or anyone in an official capcity...we do it cause we love it and love the people..and love the ideal...i said i would look into putting the store and i will live by that..right now its just not high on the list.
