as for merchandising, that's been looked at before and although its a good idea a few places got scared by the name 'jabbasworld' and refused because of copyright worries.. I guess we could change the site name then that won't be a problem, but I think that its something that probably has to go on the back burner for the moment
upgrade options, well there's only 2 choices really:
#1 - move to a similar spec server as we have now but with 100mb full duplex network connection.. this would solve the network issues we keep having and allow downloads at an unlimited speed to everyone
#2 - move to higher spec server with 100mbit network connection, curing the connection issues and leaving more room for future improvements and growth of the site, and curing the server load problems.
personally I'd really like it to be #2, for 2 main reasons.. first I dont want to have to move everything to a new server more times than necessary, and 2nd and most importantly, as you've probably noticed once we get a few people online the page generation times go up quite a bit, and ATM its possible for one person requesting a 'heavy' page many times in a short period of time to knock the server over so no one can get any pages  .. a faster cpu / more ram and better hard drives would really help in this area
as it is I already optimised a lot of code to help and it has, although unless I strip out a lot of the site features (not going to happen) we will still sometimes have a server load problem and that isn't going away until we get a faster server
