Also if people feel there are arbitrary rules they should make a case for why we should remove them. I don't personally believe any of our rules are arbitrary but I welcome anyone who wants to correct me.

Server overload

I'd say two, but then this thread would be hijacked by some grammar pedant.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould 
I typed it on a phone so I don't really give a shit.
 
I think the rules mentioned weren't AF rules, but rules imposed by whoever we are dealing with for the technology to make all this possible
BTW, I think it's charmingly nostalgic to be hosted on a Kaypro . . . 
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I would be wary of a paid service as it invites entitlement (what do you mean I can't post naked kids, I gave you 5$!), may screen out wonderful posters who happen to have moths in the wallet, and brings into reality the complexities of a payment processing system. I'm qute aware of things like Stripe - there's a lot more to payment processing than just getting the money however. Disputes, bill of record, etc all have to be made with a custom UI. After inspecting the market for a drop-in store interface, I opted for a hardcoded paypal link. Everything else either cost too much money or was fundamentally incompatible with my requirements. So I don't think that's likely. Slave to the Patriarchy no more
I just had 5 minutes of server overload...
Strange, as the US is still mostly asleep. Almost feels like some sort of weak DOS...
