I subscribed to Lowtax's Patreon to support the forums, and I'd gladly subscribe to a new one to actually support the forums. Also I think we should do that secret society thing where everyone has to submit a fully nude picture of themselves to keep them in line under threat of it being released. i am a moron posted:If you want ‘forum goer market share’ you’ll need to figure out how to position SA as the anti-Reddit that is also worth spending $10 on. The $10 should be understood to gate the community off from the worst kind of internet posters. You should purge your mod teams of the shittier ones, ban them from posting, and do away with the probation entirely. Sometimes mods act like salty cliquey dorks and aren’t really quality posters.

Oh I’m phone posting so I missed some thoughts, but I’m not saying bans in place of probations. I think they’re used for petty bullshit in a lot of cases and they aren’t all that effective in changing behavior. Community shaming and bans are enough imo

Thanks for the update and the transparency. This forum has given me a ton and I’ll absolutely put money in to a Patreon to support it. Still staggering how much Lowtax managed to gently caress all this up in every conceivable way.

As many other goons have said, I really appreciate the transparency. I was throwing $5 a month at the old SA Patreon before we learned how much of a POS Lowtax was. I’d be happy to resume that donation now that the site is in the hands of a good person. And if SA needs more, I will give more.

Will Skyl3lazer get a special user icon? Seems like a cool way to commemorate it. It also has the added benefit that it sets a precedent, for if it becomes needful to get another executor in the future.

Idea for patreon tiers: $5 a month: you may make 1 post per month in QCS $10/mo: you may make up to 3 posts per month in QCS $15/mo: you may make up to 10 posts per month in QCS $20/mo: QCS is hidden from you, you can neither read nor post it, nor can you see quoted QCS posts

I think it's really important, particularly if we are taking on astral, that we have a consistent revenue base. Jeffrey made a decision to buy the forums, for richer or for poorer, but astral is an employee and I think we have an obligation to ensure that that cash flow exists to ensure he can always be compensated. Open the patreon please.

Let me hop on the  and thank Jeffrey for being up front with the site's finances. Lowtax was always implying that SA was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, and that he was living on tuna sandwiches to keep it afloat. Donate $50 and get this handsome Here's to another 20 years!

Great work so far Jeffrey! Might I suggest combining some subforums and sub-subforums? I feel that some of them have very little traffic, and merging some together might help get more people posting in them.

I would be willing to kick in a $5 monthly for like, a fancy Avatar frame or whatever. Or without, but something to show I'm better than other people would be nice.
