Just wanted to say thanks for all you're doing. Been here 16 years almost and this is the best, likely only, place that replicates the cozy neighborhood feel of an old single line BBS run out of someone's bedroom.

Thanks for what you and the team do and I'll be happy to throw a few bucks, especially if there's a monthly option or patreon (no tier rewards please :) )

$10 a month or whatever is the least I can do...

Thanks and here's to the next 20+!

oh yeah, seeing all these fine posters reminds me that making it possible to buy a custom plat icon would be a splendid feature and means for raising more funds.

But what I would pay REAL dollars for is a 4-20-69 reg date. I had asked an admin about it at some point and was told it was impossible due to some database-related witchcraft regarding where dates start counting up from. Seemed pretty suspicious but I'm no witch what do I know

e. also agree with making the tshirt guy the paywall image

Someone, EPG maybe? absolutely had a 1969 regdate once upon a time.

since the reg date is from a unix time timestamp, i think he set his to 0 which corresponds to 12:00:00 Jan 1st 1970 GMT. since that timestamp is parsed locally on your machine when you load a page on something awful it uses your timezone, which would put it in dec 31st 1969.

Huh, I didn't realize that, that's really neat!

But wouldn't that mean anyone could do the same and basically pick whatever regdate?

I'd want to have a regdate like a couple years into the future, see if anyone noticed lol

And yeah I'm holding out for Titanium or whatever that custom software radium was making so we can get 64 bit regdates!!

I would certainly love to see better image hosting than imgur. We always joke about what classic threads would look like if imgur went under but it truly would be a tragedy. If we do end up with our own image hosting, might also be good to use a script to automatically transfer imgur files over and update the links.

Image hosting might be a tall order though, it's a lot of files especially with the kids these days and their 15 megapixel cameras and their 3 minute gifs

I do think SA needs its own independent image hosting ability. In house ability to control ones own destiny (not to mention preserving the images) is key to survival.

For those posting via awful.app the theme can be set to YOSPOS which a) owns and 2) is green on black in the manner of an 80s 40 column crt

that sucks, is there anyway to get it to use the correct amber color?

Oh, absolutely! First, take a standardized IQ test and score at least 2 standard deviations below the median. Then,
