Ping….ping….ping….
Hi Everybody!
We’re still alive, and we’re still putting together the store. We’ve been spending most of our time on our core business of building cool web products, and I (Jonathan) can take full responsibility for not posting here in the interim. I’ve checked in on the comments, but there’s not much I can say to so many people asking “what’s up” besides “yeah, we’re working on it.”
At least some people are funny about it. Here are some samples:
“Reminds me of a medical show with the patient on life support, the heart monitor beeping. Patient Valleyschwag is definitely in a non responsive coma and i am wondering whether they are going to flat line. Quick Valleyschwag, some sign of life Stat!”
[Oh, I see you have the machine that goes PING. That’s my favorite.]
“I don’t need to wait for the store to know that it will not be what I want.”
[Great, that makes things easier for everyone.]
“I received a package from Valleyschwag today containing only a tee shirt for an Indiana-based pest extermination business!”
[I think this guy got a bonus shirt, and I’m pretty sure ‘bug’ referred to software bugs in this case. Rare shirt, too.]
“awww well I was rather gutted when i got the email saying its no longer a subscription service. What can i say? i’m just lazy and forgetful.”
[I guess you could order something, then forget you ordered it, and when it shows up a week later it will be a complete surprise!]
And, of course, most commenters are super cool, excited, and encouraging. Kat is our hero, Chad remains loyal, Adamski is snarky but ever-present, Rikostan is always supportive…

Well, when you get the shop up and running you can have a plaque produced paraphrasing Mark Twain: “The reports of our death are greatly exaggerated”.
:-)
Good luck!

Jonathan, I’m waiting anxiously, and I’ll take the bug extermination shirt off that guy’s hands! Focusing on your core business makes a lot of sense because if that goes bust, well, probably so will the shwag! So hang in there and let us know when there’s some available!

Just curious how any credits we may have with you will be handled. I’ve paid for one month more than I received so will I automatically be sent the next version and then have to purchase through the store after that arrives?

@joe
If you haven’t been fully refunded you should be in the next week. If things still aren’t right drop an email to support@valleyschwag.com

Just a suggestion. Don’t let the number of posts get to 8 pages before giving an update next time. I know that comments from staff are helpful to people but only those who read the thread religiously. Personally, I’ll wait until I see it, then I’ll see if I like it, then I’ll buy some stuff anyway and see if I change my mind.
Remember that Christmas is only two months away and you could be filling a selling to fill a lot of presents if you get you r finger out. Hope you are having fun.
