Maybe I'm lazy, or overlooking it...but I can't find this thread...and I know there was one somewhere. (blame my tired eyes...lol)
Anyways, I have an idea which might help bring a little money to the forum.
Have you ever heard of cafepress.com?
Well, you upload pics of something and make the products, and voila! They make them 'on demand' which means you don't even have to bother making them, or placing orders. You just worry about making the money, and getting people to buy your stuff.
You could make like...a banner (if you don't already have one) or logo for the site, and use that on some of their products.
I know I'd for sure buy a sticker to put on my guitar case!!
You could even make a book on 'How to Make Custom Figures' to sell, if you really wanted.
I have a couple stores over there, and used the site to make my poetry book (which turned out great). I'm sure there would be people willing to buy some stuff. It'd be a surefire way to make a quick buck AND promote the site through products.
It doesn't cost you a thing, like I said. You just say how much profit you want to make from each product. They have a base cost (you can even buy stuff from your own store at base cost) and even discounts for bulk items!! Great to hand out at conventions, or to give away for freebies. That sort of thing!
I know...it's a silly idea...but I've made some money on their site, and I can't help but think this would be a great idea to get things out there!

I'd love to make a customizing book! I would ask for permission where it is needed and organize all the 'For Dummies" threads into books. I would also include helpful tips like the lip trick and stuff with in progress shots and how to make certain customs. I could check with Msbig and include the guide on making Lethe's Bramble Willow. I think it would be an awesome book.

I do, too! I thought everybody was ignoring my idea, too...lol.
I'd love to get a sticker for my guitar case, so I can promote the forum through my gigs!
I'm willing to do all the work on the site, since I know the ropes. If we can format the customizing book into Word format, I can get started on transferring the pages into the proper format for the book editing!
