(...) Well, I think it would be neat to have a separate page for fan inspired creations that are available to be bought.

I agree that a custom set database isn't a very good idea. For one, it would only be beneficial to the few people who buy the custom sets. While I can't claim to know how many people buy them, I suspect it is a very small percentage of LEGO users. (...) (24 years ago, 30-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database)

I'm certainly not Todd, but I disagree with this almost as much as I disagreed with LUGNET hosting a clone set DB.
