Exactly this. There are people who simply have a shit ton of extra money and have been clear of their intentions to use it in support of this site. I saw one person mention his willingness to drop $250,000 on the front side and another $40,000 per month with the ability to do more if necessary. The problem with “forcing us to pay for bandwidth or advertise” is who is actually behind the question. Someone in the advertising business would have zero problem coming here with praise to hide an ulterior motive of selling ads. I’m not suggesting this is the case, but the sure way to avoid that situation is to remain free from advertisers all together.
Mods already said no donations, no ads, no outside money.
Be grateful it is that way.
Maybe later they will open an official store with 100% profits going to the site maintenance. Selling things like official shirts, bumper stickers, mugs...
Please don't put retarded ads. Make you're own ad system mods. And the add should be an image with a link. Peer to peer ads without the tracking are needed.
Yes, this is good. I NEVER. would have gave money to Reddit. I would gladly for this site.
Maybe even let the amount you donate determine your type of flair. So there's some bragging rights attached to it too
This. If its not feeding Spezs cock thirst Id be happy to buy gold or whatever.
EDIT: Just had a thought. Would this site even be able to get a payment processor? Seems like theyre all cucked.
I was thinking the same. Options could be things like:
and of course
“I’m really rich” should be one of the top ones.
I like this one!
The mods have specifically said it’s all out of pocket for now.
I think they don’t want to give up any control of the site.
We will see how things pan out. I for one am happy to contribute without any expectation of control or dilution of current ownership.
We've got angel investors I think :)
I'd also love to donate some dough to keep server/dev costs in control.

hmmm . . . who do we know of who might like to see this site continue, and would have more than enough cash to donate to it to keep it running?
hmmm . . .
Right now, I have some ideas of who :)
In the future, my guess would be Nick Sandmann.
For the Pedes by the Pedes!

Yep, I've seen other sites try this. The money always runs out...
The funny thing about having the support of rich and successful people is the money never runs out.
Hmmm.. you mean people that actually work their fucking asses off and don't blow their money on bullshit and drugs?
Stop begging them to take money.
Advertising and payment processors are an attack vector that we currently don't have. Why create a vulnerability?

Praise Be
I’d gladly set up a monthly donation. Freedom isn’t free! ?
I'm willing to do $5/month Patreon. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
