Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:I've been looking into this and it's hard. I certainly don't like the idea of paying patreon a cut though, clearly, the credit card companies take their cut as well. Subscription code would have to function differently from existing code, because I don't want to store any payment information on our side, and we'd need a way to set and expire your subscription status without you personally making web requests to do it. It's something I want but, imo, it will be a long time before the gains actually outweigh the development and maintenance cost. Unlike the forums I am not attached to our current store software and am going to be evaluating alternatives. If you want to integrate fancy features into a recurring payment, fine, but for me, it's just a way to keep the lights on. I don't need anything more in return than this place's continued existence and ideally funding improvements that benefit everyone. I already have a Patreon, so that's the least friction for me personally. Please do not start hosting peoples' email.

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.
