I've long been under the impression that there are other forum administrators who are able and willing to deal with the majority of site operations/maintenance. In assuming as much, it seems apparent to me that Tiberius is willing to allow the forum to continue as normal so long as members are willing to cover the server costs. Which I totally understand, tbh. I wouldn't want to foot the bill for something I don't use either, as a matter of principle.
If such is actually the case, this matter could easily be resolved by enough forum members ponying up a few dollars for the cost of operations. It's like what, $56 or something? Even less, when taking the existing Patreons into account.
Not gonna lie--I don't care about AF enough to foot most of the site costs. However, I do feel it provides sufficient interest and amusement to warrant kicking in a few bucks a month. I don't do Patreon, but I'm willing to make a lump sum donation quarterly or every 6 months or so, so long as I continue to using the site.
Now some people can't afford anything, and I understand this. But it stand to reason that enough people who "loooove" AF and call it "home" could be bothered to contribute 1-5 bucks a month to help ensure that the site remains as is. Not an indictment of any persons in particular, btw--Just food for thought. We're talking like, 40 some dollars a month or so. There's no reason that should be a mountain this forum can't manage to climb.
