given the amount of code and db customization that's been done, no import script would be able to do it

Lowtax doesn't really need Patreon, he has a payment processor already, he can just let us donate via the site. (Obviously you already can in the form of banner ads, thanks fetus tree, I guess.)

To be honest most people would probably kill themselves once they started actually trying to figure out what the gently caress is going on with the existing code.

i don't think the massive drop in revenue over the last ~2 years is because of the forum software

hey lowtax
have you thought about
starting a podcast network since there's a lot of members doing podcasts?
asking all the goons who want to do voice work (roughly 80% of them) to read/act out front page articles and then releasing that as a podcast? idk what the front page's traffic is like but it deserves way more
(napkin flip)
running a mcn that's not garbage for sa let's players/youtubers?
