Also you share that picture as an avatar with an actual lovely Trump supporter and now it's going to confuse the poo poo out of me between the three of you. :mad:

Of course, to be fair, we shouldn't be laughing really, given what Lowtax has posted about SA. (The ad-supported Internet is finally slowly dying.)

Shouldn't SA be someone safe from that, though, since it reels in money from avatar/title changes and re-registrations?

As much as people love to rip on SA, I do think that it's found one of the few ways to monetize a website that I'd bet on. I've certainly spent more on stupid bullshit like avatars here than I have on any similar site. I've never purchased one for anyone else, but they've been purchased for me, and I've leveled up my cats periodically. (I have a pattern to the cats I select; I have worked my way from the shy and timid margay to the great and glorious jaguar.)

Hell, you have to pay $5 just for the privilege of having it not say that you're a dumb baby idiot next to your name when you post.

Don't worry, Hiro is saving the site, via making a board that costs 20 USD to post in.

Also you figure if he deleted /pol/ and all the porn boards he'd easily be able to sustain the site, due to a bunch of losers leaving because "MUH FREE SPEECH" and from the money he saves from not having 5mb pictures of girls with incredibly large balls and dicks uploaded to /d/ at a constant rate.

Yeah Katrina was 10 years ago? I threw in 40 bucks a couple months back but if we had another fundraiser I'd probably throw a $100 in. A hundred bucks every few years to support the dead gay forums is a bargain in my book.

Also create a posistion to drop tons of balloons on Bill Clinton whenever he enters a room.
