Not Mistaken: Donated $$s because DU is pulling from CafePress
Edited on Fri Nov-20-09 12:00 AM by sjdnb
I wrote in another thread that I'd donate if they did, but haven't seen any follow up on the thread by DU folks.
However, I did click the store link and it is dead and has been dead for some time. http://www.cafeshops.com/du_store
So, my next click will be to donate.

UPDATE: I did, but while the cafeshops link didn't work, it appears the CafePress DU shop is alive and well
http://shop.cafepress.com/democratic-underground
Very disappointed.


UPDATE: DU is exiting Cafe Press as I write this. Thank you DU Admins.

2. Are you saying the link works for you?
Cuz I still can't get to the DU CafePress shop. And, just donated ... so, I hope that is not what you're saying.

7. I've gotten this for hours ...
Server not found

Firefox can't find the server at www.cafeshops.com.

* Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Namoroka is permitted to access the Web.

But, only for the cafeshop link ... obviously, I gave DU too much credit too early as their products are still at CafePress at http://www.cafepress.com/sk/du_store

Well, guess I'll have to cancel my donation.

11. DU's Cafe Press store is open for business.
I have a Cafe Press account which I will cancel and I will unsubscribe to their E-mailings. And you can be sure that they will know the reason in no uncertain terms. I wish DU would do the same.

12. Not sure why the cafeshops link at the bottom of the DU page
Edited on Thu Nov-19-09 11:46 PM by sjdnb
labeled "Store" still does not work for me, but I see that the DU CafePress store is alive and active. Very, very, disappointed as this is not new news. And, thinking about canceling my donation, opening a Zazzle account and subsribing to DailyKos and others who are more on top of this.

24. Maybe in the future, you could save a little heartache and factor in
how long it takes to do something like move a store. I'm glad it worked out.

I did not think DU would support this kind of thing. Please let me know if I can post something to this fact. People need to know DU is responding responsibly.

36. Not any more.

Your link shows 2 quotes, but neither of them are 109:8. They are 109:21-22, and 109:105. And neither of them are offensive in the least.

38. For the time being, anyway.
When I visited this morning there was one bumper sticker.
When I visited later, the bumper sticker was gone and replaced with two T-shirts
When I visited still later, only the two innocuous quotes were there.
When I visited even later, one of the T-shirts was back, along with a bumper sticker (same vendor as the two T-shirts; different vendor from the original bumper sticker).
Now they are gone again.

Stay tuned.

41. With any luck it will be gone again shortly.
Bumper Sticker ~ 8 AM
Gone ~ 9 AM
Two T-shirts ~ 10 AM
Gone ~ 11 AM
T-Shirt & bumper sticker ~ 12 PM
Gone ~ 2 PM
Another shirt ~ 3 PM

If they actually published their policy someplace it was easy to find (and had an alert button on products) they might stop popping back up over and over again.
