Great points, although I don't have to worry about bandwidth so much, considering I'm on a Dedicated Server.

The board crashing part is the reason most of my bigger products are custom coded by me, if something goes wrong I know exactly where and how to fix it.

The additional pages that my own products add are restricted to members only, because Guests really have no use for the Store and Character Manager considering both require posting abilities. The store you need to post to get cash, and the Character Manager stuff is only shown in the Roleplaying Forums (where the post author info is changed to show Character Info instead of the poster).
