JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

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.

I'd be fine kicking $5-10 a month towards a patreon.

While keeping regular $10 payments to register and to unban yourself, I wonder if it might make sense to have regular periods of limited, free registrations. That drums up interest while keeping the influx of potential assholes low enough to boot out if need be.

Free account registration is what makes reddit/twitter/other forums a cesspit. Maybe there could be an account sponsorship option where someone can sign up a friend but if they get banned/probed you get banned for letting an rear end in a top hat in for free.

Frankly if the forums had kept pace with inflation then a new reg should cost $14.39. Really Jeff is doing you a favor keeping the site funded mostly through cosmetic DLC.

Can we pay to change other users reg date?

It’s time to shed the front page. Make the forum index the front page. It’s been dead for months and nobody outside of sa has cared or noticed. The domain will never trend anywhere with high thanks to grandfathered algorithms from the “poison womb” days of edgelorde trash content.

Let it die. Don’t waste money on it. Make it available as a zip file for anyone that must see hulk hogan defeat the twin towers once more and yuck it up at fart smelling deviants, but like lowtax it’s time for his beloved front page to be shelved and slowly forgotten.
