Yes. I guess it could either be a single all-in-one deal, or it could even be broken up ala carte, where people could pay for just the particular abilities they want.Those are some good ideas. Are there others? How much would people be willing to pay? Some of the items mentioned, such as changing the color of a username, would require development work, so there would need to be a critical mass of subscribers willing to pay before I would want to put in the time. Also, I don't know PHP very well, so more and better changes would be possible if we stayed on CS.

Right. The proceeds from the sale would go to MFG. The specifics of the deal could be flexible in terms of MFG to donor split, minimum price, etc, and would need to be published in advance for everyone to see.

Sorta. The contests could be graphics-related, or fan fiction, article writing, or any number of other things. The prizes could include one or more things such as cash, posting the winning item on the main MFG site, a special award graphic under their avatar, a special rank, free gold membership status for some period of time, etc.

OK, what would it take?

For the Amazon store, it would be things like books, DVDs, CDs, games, etc.
However, we could also have an MFG logo store, with hoodies, T-shirts, etc. Goku and I started a thread in the graphics section to get people to design stuff that would go on some logo wear, but we didn't have too much luck getting people interested enough to contribute.
