Jumped from page 1 to 9 but would also be down for a patreon, happy to contribute some sheckles per month. Again I mean -- but apparently the prior patreon was going to Nissan Skyline payments or something.

punk rebel ecks posted:I've always wondered why did Lowtax give up the site? Like what was in it for him if he didn't give it up? Even if the site stopped making money completely I'd imagine he'd rather shut it down than let it continue with someone else on the helm. I'm a naive idiot but I got an impression Lowtax considers the forums as something important to preserve even if he was exploiting them. I don't think it all started out as a huge scam even if it ended that way, I want to doubt nuking them really was on the table for rich -- but, Jeffrey had those negotiations so who knows what was thrown around. I'm guessing it was just some number to walk away and rich may have been relieved to do it. ALL just guesses.

ChubbyChecker posted:perhaps the patreon folks should give their extra money to some charities instead This isn't really the same equivalence, it's more like a subscription to support a service that I enjoy, two different categories of spending. Plus without knowing the numbers I think Jeffrey deserves some recompense whatever cash he outlaid to basically save this place -- someone mentioned resetera and if you know what happened with neogaf this place was on a similar trajectory, preventing that type of implosion was pretty clutch

bewilderment posted:I know it's heresy to many but there's cool people I know that I wanna introduce to the site but the $10 imposition is still a pretty large barrier when this isn't the happening 2002 site this was. Forum standards have also improved overall but I dunno if it has the same 'keep out the riff raff' appeal it once has. We make fun of reddit but the concept of "your post should be intelligible to other humans" has spread there and there's not as big a difference as there once was. Free reg is an invite to bots and nonsense. a pay gate may be anathema by modern standards but holy poo poo does it stop a flood of otherwise un-stoppable bull poo poo. Look at how much this place already gets -- at least if you want to insult or troll or randomly toxify things, you need to pony up a bit.

Lets just put 10 bux into an envelope each month and mail to a Jeffreys po box. No transaction fee besides stamps ! (and I guess the cost of the po box) (and envelopes) (stop reading this lovely post)
