haha Graham! :(

I was thinking, the sign with:

The Mini Forum on the sign, each word on separate lines and without an arrow upwards of course.
I'm with The Mini Forum with the arrow, same format as :( , only of course The Mini Forum will have to be quite small, perhaps have T, M and F will be larger.

Anywho...yeah, will deal with my exams and then will deal with sorting these things out :wacko:

Looks great so far. Couple of ideas/suggestions. What about making interchangeable signs (each saying The Mini Forum at the bottom though). And how about mounting them on a spring and suction cup, so you could stick them to your dash, and they would bounce about?

yer, major problem, depends mainly on the production numbers and quality. Moulds can cost up to £20,000 i think. But thats for large scale reusable moulds. I think... Anyone else no??

The suction cup and spring have both been suggested already, if you'd read the thread :( I was thinking of the suction cup with a spring attached for extra wobbling :( as I don't think the magnet would work too well :(

The changeable signs shouldn't be a problem, just make up a few of the entire sign but with different writing, or an option could be to get the sign in a whiteboard type material and people can write what they want on them :( although...yeah, maybe not the best idea!!


why do u keep bringin it up... nevermind.


you brought it up again :wacko: I didn't think much of your idea, said as much in a nice way and you kicked off. Anyway, nuff said :(

Like I've said before and Graham has mentioned several times, I will get round to sorting these out as soon as I'm free and have the time, which will be in under a week hopefully! :(

Looks great! :wacko: Any chance you'd be able to fit TheMiniForum on there in between the T M F as "TMF" is currently licenced under The Music Factory.


Dom, I was thinking of putting "The Mini Forum" on to the signs or getting up a few different signs made so that people could choose which ones they would like, or even interchange their signs to suit their moods.


Ok cool. :(

Or, have the signs white, so that you can stick those vinyl, replacable stickers on there? The same material as a tax disc holder, that sticks but not UBER sticky. Then, we could do a TMF sticker sheet for people, or people could get their own stickers made up?????

Just thought I'd update this! :P

There was a possible model making man :dontgetit: but he's busy and can't make them now :shifty: soooo I've decided that I'll try my hand at making them!

Those of you that came to the bluewater meet on friday will know how cool graham's prototype is :- I'm going to do basically what he did and see how it goes.

Once I've made a few, I'll see what they look like, calculate costs and post up on here how much they'd be as well as pics as I'm thinking of doing two sizes ;)

I've looked in to getting some flat air fresheners made up...but most companies only do them by the 100 :wub:
