I realize we did receive some stickers before, but I believe more stickers would be tolerated. Of course, you should deserve them first. Are there any possible sticker competitions?

1I've still got spare stickers. Right now I'd be much keener about that coffee mug, and I'd even review a large part of the close queue for one...– Kerrek SBOct 25, 2013 at 23:09

I think it would be nice if there was a User-friendly "sticker-request" page, where you can pay like $1.00 or so to request them?– CaffeinatedJan 31, 2014 at 18:49

Historical note: in its early days, Stack Overflow provided stickers to anyone willing to send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the office. This is no longer the case; official statement follows.
Stack Overflow does not currently provide stickers upon request. While we do have stickers, they're printed primarily for top-user swag and promotional event purposes.

10Be sure to check your local building codes and verify the structural integrity of the ceiling after patching. Maybe ask on Home Improvement.– Shog9Oct 30, 2013 at 17:02

1I can vouch for this. I sent in a self-addressed stamped envelope and got some, what I assume are stickers. :-)– gen_EricNov 5, 2013 at 17:17

I have extra stamps, and will take you guys up on the offer. REPEATEDLY!!! :> Nov 7, 2013 at 1:32

7If you use one of these physical mail services (I tried mailaletter.com), they will send a SASE for you. It's kind of pricey compared to a couple stamps, but the benefit is that you don't have to get up from your computer!– beporterJan 10, 2014 at 20:38

1@Adel I don't remember exactly. The time stamps on my comments above suggest somewhere around 3-4 weeks? There are humans involved on the other end, so the result could be pretty variable I guess.– beporterOct 19, 2014 at 15:16

Trying mailaletter.com from Europe right now, I'll report back when I hear back!– JoostMar 5, 2015 at 12:34

Reporting back, earlier than I expected; I received the stickers yesterday, 2015-03-24, after sending a SASE via the internet. The future is now.– JoostMar 25, 2015 at 8:25

@Joost how did you do? on the mailaletter.com user guide they say that return enveloppes for addresses outside the United States do not have postage.– pierrozApr 11, 2015 at 10:09
-
@PierrOz Hmm, I see now. I had not even looked that far, initially, and just gave it a shot. I suppose the SE staff might have stuck a stamp on it themselves, then.. No guarantees!– JoostApr 11, 2015 at 12:56
I second this. I want stickers. SO MANY STICKERS.
What would I do with said stickers, you ask? I would place them
- on my laptop,
- on-or-around my cubicle at work, and
- on my coworkers (probably on their backs, while they're not looking).
I think this promotes Stack Overflow and the Stack Exchange network in a positive and professional way.

STICKERS!!!
Where would I place stickers?
- My laptop, top and bottom (it's too thin to put them on the sides)
- Every door I see (because people couldn't help seeing them as they open the door)
- My car (because I go a lot of places)
- Other peoples' cars (because they might go a lot of places)
- The back of my TI-84 (the buttons and screen are on the front)
- My cat
- Random places in Wal-Mart (because lots of people go to wal-marts)
- My ceiling fan (because everyone looks at ceiling fans)
- Random light bulbs (because then you would have to look at the sticker to remove it so you can see)
- Inside red freehand circles (because that's where they originated)
- On waffle makers (because then I would want to make more waffles)

51When I saw "my car," I thought it said "my cat" for a second. Then I realized I was being ridiculous. Then I kept reading.– PopsOct 11, 2013 at 17:40
I also want stickers!
I'm going on a canoe trip tomorrow, and it would be amazing if I could place a Stack Overflow sticker on the canoe to advertise to all the tech-savvy wild animals I'm likely to see.
Although, it seems this could become a bit of a sticking point, after all the previous ones were a little tacky. As long as SO adheres to proper techniques they should be able to avoid getting in a bind.

I only joined this network because of this, published on Jan 20 '12
I thought "Yes, I want stickers", so worked my way to the first page. Now, almost two years later, here I am, all addicted, no stickers o_Ø

8It has been warned by authorities that WordPress is a gateway drug to real programming. It lures you in with stickers and plugins only to deceive you into craving real design patterns and a language that doesn't suck.

Stickers!!!
yes please, they would be immeasurably handy for patching the hole in my roof whilst providing a visual advertisement to visiting friends, relatives, wildebeest and repairmen.
I travel to many conferences (scientific and technical) and teach senior students - it would be a great way of spreading the word throughout my professional activities.
I'd be able to stick them all over my dad to convince him to join!
