Attention All CM'ers!!!

Some of you may already know, but for those who don't I'd like to bring you all up to speed on what is going on with your favorite message board. As of last week, Al stepped down as owner and the site is now being co-owned and paid for by Rob(areusad831), Kimmy(sandsleeper/artist formerly known as Citrick Azid), and myself. We would like to see the CM become the best place possible, and are looking to expand from simply a message board to a full fledged OLP website, that means band bio, pictures, and lots of goodies!

We have already gone to work producing downloadable videos, backgrounds, buddy icons, and the like, but we need your help! We want to see you guys take charge and produce player skins, artwork, graphics, backgrounds, and all sorts of cool stuff like that!

The transition is underway and all feedback from CM'ers is welcome, and encouraged! If you have friends who are also into OLP and don't belong to the CM, do us all a favor and bug them to death, or at least til they join. Also, it would also be greatly appreciated if you made use of the buddy icons and banners supplied to you in order to promote this humble institution.

If you have any questions or would like to contribute goodies, feel free to PM, IM, or email any of us. Thank you so much for being a CM'er and hold on...you're in for a awesome ride!

P.S.: Al was in no way harmed in the creation of the new CM, and do not fear, he will remain an pivotal piece of the CM family.

Yeah, that would be awesome! I'd definatly buy some. I'd really like a CM t-shirt (be sure to get XXL!). How many CM members are there? Maybe you could print all our screen names really small on the back. My high school just put out a t-shirt with all the names of the students from the graduating class (roughly 1000 names), so I guess it could be done.

If a portion would go to WarChild, I'd buy several things!!! In addition to t-shirts, I think that stickers, pins, patches and such would sell well!

i owuld buy it...just somethign to have,yu know. plus, we OLP fans tend to only have TWO hands...with all this "cc" "oma" "cm" and now rich and shelly...our hands are kinding of....occupied. it would be nice to just have a patch or osmething so there owuldnt be a million things written on everybody's hands. and the thing abput war child is an awesome idea.

CM must stay on hands :evil:

so we are working on the store and ALL PROFITS are going to go to warchild. We will have some shirts, sweatshirts, stickers nothing excessive like thongs (go buy emtee.org's thongs).

It will most likley be about a 15% profit on each item to Warchild so if anyone has any design ideas submit them to us. Try and keep Oscar involved :nod:
