I'd say it took about an hour or two to get it up and partially customized(but I'm a programmer so it might take longer for someone who isn't technical). Xianti completed the setup by making new topics, organizing threads, setting up groups/ranks and doing everything else to get it looking the way it does now(this is an ongoing process that he works on practically every day(he's basically the only moederator we have)).

I was also wondering how do you set up those links to amazon, i assume you get small % of the purchase price if we buy it from the link.
Thank you.
Tyson setup most of the Amazon links(we're in their affilate program so we get a small percentage of purchases). We put them in place to help cover costs for running the site(hosting fees, domain name registration etc.). Amazon isn't a big money maker for us but it helps a little bit.
