Deadline end of year
Griffyn612:
I'd like to keep threads for all Butcher works at the same site.

DolphinPro or Oxwall. Each has functionality for both. They'd be in the future forum, assuming we migrate this one first.
If I don't hear back from Iago by the end of the month, then I'll assume he doesn't want us to migrate, and we'll start developing a DP/O forum and archive in November, beta it, manually transfer the collection, and plan on launching by the end of the year.

What would be the best way to work funding?

Been that way awhile, I figured they'd bring in new blood but the moderating seems to have just gotten more centralized instead, with only the main mods stepping in, even if others had been around. Think it was a 'unison' policy.
--- Quote ---Also about Forum conduct. Would people like the more strict guidelines for this forum, or would they like things to be loosened up a bit?

I'd appreciate a step up on not letting people just bash the shit out of someone else's theory because they don't like it themselves....
Also... drive by troll posts from relatively inactive users. it's really not appreciated and happens quite a bit... better regulations/people actually caring to check for duplicate IP addresses and such.
OHHH and no covering things up, sweeping it under the rug, deleting all the evidence and hushing it up, ect, ect. Hiding evidence is indicative of a guilty conscience, not one justified in it's actions or even self righteously believing them so and letting people actually voice things with their bretheren, the peoples of the boards instead of trying to squish it under dictatorialship, ect. If it's to be our community, let it be ours for once....

I don't know. Shard never got back to me, but they use a PayPal add-on on their site for donations. With it only being ~$100/year, we should be able to raise it pretty quickly.
I'm tempted to wait until next summer to have a fundraiser around the time the new books come out. We could then let the money sit in the PayPal account until the site fees need to be renewed each year.
If 300 regular and new users donated a dollar around that time, we'd have three years of funding, minus a reimbursement for the initial year. If we didn't raise much, then we might have to go the Patreon route, with folks donating yearly.
But I'd rather ride the wave of book release interest to hit more people up for smaller amounts. $1 for a year or more of site hosting seems fair.

I guess I am a little more inclined towards Patreon because, like Darby Crane, "I don't trust those people at Paypal." But, whatever works easiest and best.
