I dunno if people are aware but the forums normally are totally free to view, and from time to time specific subforums go up behind the paywall. Obviously paywalling all the time doesn't induce registrations because people don't know what they're missing. I do still like the idea that you can get a Viewing account for free that lets you read and bookmark threads but nothing else, and then you can pay for the ability to post or have it gifted to you by a sponsor. Unironically I registered for old GBS stuff like Photoshop Friday and MS Paint stuff that doesn't happen any more after GBS was nuked for being too 'redditlike'.

A few years ago I got a RAP shirt and it's still one of my most comfortable favorites. There are also some very talented goons (see the SASS threads) who can make injoke items. But what I'm really craving right now is ugly magnetic chip clips and/or other branded tradeshow swag. You can even order custom GOOD POSTING omamori and ema. https://omamori1.com/%E8%82%8C%E5%BE%A1%E5%AE%88%E3%82%8A%E3%81%AE%E3%81%94%E6%B3%A8%E6%96%87/ https://www.pr-youhin.co.jp/SHOP/161228/list.html https://www.pr-youhin.co.jp/SHOP/161235/list.html peanut fucked around with this message at 08:57 on Jan 29, 2021 |

I use the paid member photo upload function a lot, usually while phone posting. I'd pay more to be able to upload larger images or multiple images in one post. Hotlinking and/or rehosting is effort.

Something I have seen in other forums in 2001 is automatically replacing some words for other word in html. Like the forum could replace every instance of rear end for butt in bold with pink letters. This way SA can be a proper christian forum.

It's pretty crazy that after all these years Lowtax would still be getting 4-7k a month (after all the fees) from this place and Patreon money on top of it while the place basically runs itself thanks to unpaid volunteers. I wonder what his income was 10-15 years ago.

Appreciate the openness! A Patreon would be a good idea to establish a baseline semi-stable income, as long as subs got some token benefits.

Honestly I'd love to see more lovely merch, I love my "THE INTERNET MAKES YOU STUPID" license plate frame and all of the shirts Lowtax made were low effort garbage I wouldn't even wear ironically. And whoever said the photo upload feature, I'm lazy as gently caress and would pay $10-20 to expand the upload size limit. Hell, I'd sub at $5/month just so I don't have to expend the extra energy uploading an image, I am that lazy

With imgur circling the drain (you now have to watch an ad to upload), I think there's a pretty clear call for some kind of replacement. Unlike imgur, imageshack, waffleimages, etc, SA actually has a functioning business model, so it might actually stick around this time.
