You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

Is SA in need of fixing? Sites come and sites go, 4chan got sold, Reddit is a big flaming mess and it is difficult to see an alternative around the corner.
90% in revenue cut, where is that number coming from? Where was the revenue coming from in the first place? I am not up to date on the current SA business model, but seems that it was not sustainable in the end.

Two suggestions I have seen that should work to increase revenue:
- Monthly / yearly subscription model
- Donations drive (yearly?)

Things to cut cost:
- stop paying developers (obviously done already)
- Lowtax gets another source of income
- Turn of the servers

Keep in mind that stopping the site when the business model is no longer valid, is always a option.

As much as I love SA, it's probably not going to be around much longer. It's and old an insular community where nothing exciting ever happens anymore.
