mskitty38583

1. bumper sticker that says," im nuts about bananas".
2. bumpersticker that says," not all fruits and nuts grow on nana trees".
3. ballcap that says," i love my nanas".
4. t-shirt that says," if all the nanas grew across the sea...just think of what a great swimmer id be".
5. t-shirt that says," give me nanas or give me death".
6. t-shirt that says," monkeys dont get to have all the fun". ( picture of a nana tree with fruit).

Way to be creative!

Also, I suggest that there should be items like clothing, mugs, and accessories.

It would also be cool if you could buy something that made threads you make stay on the front page longer.

Mason,

Click on the Merchandise link at the top of the page and you'll find that very thing (mugs, clothing, etc.), though I don't think you can use $BB. My apologies if that was your point.

Mason

Yes, my point was with banana bucks. its ok, i should have been more specific.

How about a knit cap for winter, shaped and colored bright yellow like a banana? Might have the Bananas.org logo? (Speaking of that, Jarred, why not have a contest to come up with an official Logo for Bananas.org - other than the words?) Hmmmmmm......

First, real things cost real money to make.

Where are you guys getting the idea that BananaBucks can be used for these materialistic items?
If that were the case, someone would be getting severely ripped off, because I am sure half this board has enough BananaBucks that they would go and buy this material item, leaving the person manufacturing or supplying the item in quite a sufficient defecit.

I, personally, would not like to put this supplier (which would be Jarred) in this sort of situation. Please do not consider this a sort of attack, just my opinion.

Plus, he just finished making the BananaBucks Shop with loads of free virtual things you can put your BananaBucks to good use in, that won't cost him a dime.

Mason

Very true. I didn't think of that.

I concur: Jarred does more than enough already without footing the bill for anything else.

Pablo Vega

What could work is donations: nana pups, other plants, etc. The Banana bucks could only be valid for some of these items but must pay cash for only the shipping.

Only a suggestion.

Taylor,

I don't think anyone was trying to "attack" anyone or anything. My comment about Banana Bucks was only meant to be clear that the items on the Cafepress site were for cash only. I agree with you wholeheartedly that Jarred does more than enough for us at this site and that no one should be left holding the bag so to speak. However, Jarred has mentioned in the recent past that at some point $BB may be used to "purchase" (or exchange) for live plants. So it sounds like at some point the $BB may have some "cash" value. I could be wrong about that, though.
Have a great day everyone!

Taylor

No, you're right Brent.

Do we know what he meant by that (trade for real items)? I was thinking that he meant that for person to person trades or sales, not including him, maybe I thunk wrong.

I like Pablo's idea a lot.

Kylie2x

Taylor that's what I thunk as well..LOL That and "Braggin Rights".. BTW Congrats on your over the 1000 post...

Weeeelllll... it more or less tells you what I do with my spare time!

Thanks for the thread everyone. I agree, it would be fun to have more things to use the BB$ for. We have the cafepress shop (it made I think 1 sale, ever..lol) and we have the virtual plaza where we can do fun things like enhance your profile or your threads on the site. I did say that I would like to allow them to be used for plants. Members can sell bananas for BB$, and I will as well (on behalf of the Society as a whole). Also, when I do offer banana plants for BB$, I want people to have enough banana bucks earned so that it does not seem so far out of reach if they want the plant. I'm just thinking out loud here, really...
The whole banana bucks system and the shop are pretty new concepts here, its sort of an experiment in progress, and these things take time to flesh out and design properly, work out the bugs and kinks, etc.
You will, though, very soon see new things get added, such as awareness ribbons for many popular causes of concern to society. I dearly appreciate the thread and I love to see when members suggest things for the Society and for the website, it gives me sign that there's life out there, and that things are on the right track.
So keep the ideas coming but lets not bite off much more than we can chew, I personally try to avoid that and if things seem like they are not moving fast enough, thats partly why. We experienced explosive growth this year and theres a lot of things happening to keep everything balanced. Like I said, I'm thinking out loud here, and I'm speaking to you guys as if we were all in a room together having a chat.
So keep the ideas coming, and know that I will always try and prioritize everything. I take notes of what needs to be handled and I try to address the most pressing things first.

Hey Jarred - wish I could support you more as the work you do for us all is phenomenal - much appreciated (if not totally understood by the more challenged like myself - lol).
