Question Would you pay a low monthly subscription fee if Chaos provided an image hosting alternative?

[Tefka]

Just to be clear, it's a subscription to use hosting, not a subscription to use the site, right?

To be clear, this is purely for image hosting, no other service would be affected

literally my second post in this thread man lmao

Missed it, my bad. Was skimming at work. Thanks for clarifying though.

Are there any ways to support the site currently? Patreon, similar things?

I appreciate the space and all of the work that has gone into it.

 

[Katrine Van-Derveld]

I wouldn't be against it. I lost so much when Nickpic got shut down during my hiatus, and I don't trust Imgur (not to mention, I got abuse when I first made an account because I accidentally posted an image instead of just hosting it).

Save my templates from another poofening, pls. Imgur is especially annoying when mobile posting.

 

[John Locke]

Yeah, I also suffered when Nickpic shut down so I'd be happy to pay $3 or 5 if I had a secure space to host images for Chaos stuff. It's cheaper than buying a coffee

 

[Kitter Bitters]

Imgur seems to work fine for me but if it came down to it then yes that is a reasonable amount to pay.

Isn't it ironic that my imgur account was banned due to "copyright" legit today? Lost like 6k images

So if you make this a thing, then I'll be on it.

Theoretically - sure. My question would be what happens when a member stops paying the subscription. Do their images get removed? Become unavailable? Just can't add any more until they go back to paying but what was uploaded remains? Something else?

Great questions here.

After some thought I've reconsidered and changed my vote from uncertain to a yes for reliability reasons but I would also like to know the answers to your questions were this feature to be implemented.

It's a small price to pay for some sort of certainty. Plus if I double store images and stuff, it's only better than storing it on one place with no knowledge how long said place will last
