The problem with merchandising is that, although people love the site, they don't want friends (or strangers) to know they are here. The very nature of the site makes it difficult to spread the word via members.
Personally, I'd pay ten, maybe even twenty pounds for a poster of the sheep and I'd stick it on my wall and be quite pleased about it. But I wouldn't tell anyone what it was, and so it wouldn't induce people to sign up.
This sounds horribly commercial but if the site had some ranking system where people could push themselves up the rankings by introducing their friends (anonymously), it'd probably have an impact. Most people want to be top of a list and some will go to huge lengths to achieve it.
I wouldn't like it personally, but I do understand that sites (which cost money) don't exist for no reason. With the exception of the site owner(s), every person who has ever posted on IIN has done so on someone else's buck. Didn't cost any of us a penny, but it's cost someone something to allow us to post here.
Very little is for free, and why should it be?
