'Course, if you can come up with something you *would* like to pay 
$20 for, we're open to the suggestion.

That's a difficult line to walk, though... the Phoenyx is free, even ad-
free, and it's been our intention to keep it that way.  It's a balance 
between providing value-added services, and turning the free 
accounts/lists into the "crippleware" versions, which we never want 
to have happen (or have the perception that it's happened).  But 
there are some things that we can do that we charge extra for:  
hosting virtual domains (lists don't have to be @phoenyx.net), that 
sort of thing, mostly gamemaster/listowner perks that are extras.

Oh, and T-shirts.  I've got a coupla new graphics up for perusal, at 
.  The one on 
the right is the old, OLD Phoenyx logo that Mike said he liked even 
though it was Corel clip art (they both are, actually) and was used 
as an Origins logo back in the late 80's or early 90's.  (Almost.  
This one is changed slightly, since the original had its neck looped 
all the way down next to its right wing.  That got muddy when it 
was reduced down to web logo size, so I modified it.)  The back of 
the shirt will have whatever the Phoenyx tagline is, which hopefully 
we'll decide on before Gencon...
