i have to have a car because otherwise i cant drive around the country solving mysteries while being doggedly pursued by federal marshals for a crime i did not commit (9/11)
talking in terms of money is all well and good, but what i want to know is how many thoughts and prayers are needed.

We break out SA into amazon lambda functions and then have each account pay for its strict server time used for accessing and querying data using tagging functions, then they just pay their amazon bill directly

I estimate based on nothing at all that converting these gay dead forums into that architecture would take like no work at all

That'd actually be super sick but I bet the billing would be hard as heck unless there was something built into the platform.

I'm looking for the man who shot my paw.

lowtax could charge $0.25 a year to use these forums and increase revenue by %100000 and everyone would say "ok sure" but i think radium quit a long time ago so that probably won't happen

unfortunately people just shared accounts when this was happening

ideally taxman would charge like 10 bucks a month to even look at the let's play subforum, 10 more to post in it

pay to mod could be a goldmine

bronze package 5 probations 175 kyankabux
gold package 10 probations + 1 ban for 250 kyankabux
platinum package 20 probations + 2 bans 350 kyankabux (best value)

then you sell kyankabux packs that are multiple of 400 so you always end up with leftovers that you can't use unless you purchase more

we'll tell investors we're going to put posting on the blockchain, then after the cheque clears tell them we did it, and then just sit on the money forever.
