Good to know. I would suggest everyone turn off subscriptions to Patreon as well as PayPal if they haven't. I don't know if that will be accessible either but I'll see what I can do. Assuming I can get in, however, I'm also going to assume that people are all right with me suggesting to his...

Yes, I think on the financial end of things it looks very likely that there's enough community generosity to make sure the costs are covered.

I don't think he ever should have been regarded as a political analyst; he's a twitch streamer who picked up a community and an audience and at a certain scale people pay attention to your opinions on something whether you're qualified to give them or not. I think he started getting sought out...

I am sure it was more for my own benefit than for most people here. I don't know who's still really around from those days to give much of a crap one way or another, but for the benefit of anyone who might have wondered — there you go; have a little essay, as a treat. 🤣

I don't think anyone needs to feel obligated or pressured to chip in financially, the costs are pretty low all things considered. Xenforo looks like it only natively supports PayPal anyway (Venmo and CashApp also don't exist in Australia, but that's a problem for further down the track.) It...

I mean, "no, obviously" is the obvious answer.

Just get ChatGPT to turn it into a cartoon.

[In a surprise to no one, my post hit the character limit, so here's part two.] I was already pulling back from SLU on the tail end of that anyway, subconsciously realising that the level of engagement I was participating in was not good for me. The constant need to defend myself against people...

Thank you for joining me on episode two of "What the fuck, he's back?" Yes, no one is more surprised than me but I suppose Cris' community-building skills were so extensive that even in death he could bring us all back together. Mild sarcasm, I make joke see? If you don't have some idea of...

I looked into getting access "properly" under bereavement policies and it needed proof of a court order naming the person asking as the executor of the estate. His family politely told me that while they were willing to help, that effort wasn't going to go very far. Cris doesn't really have any...

It's 2 AM here and I'm about to get to bed but this came in just as I was writing something to say I was getting to sleep and didn't want people to think I had vanished all day — but I don't want to leave this unaddressed either. I recognise that there's history with some people, which is...

The last couple of weeks has been an object lesson that I wasn't inside the head of a close friend I'd known for over two decades nearly as well as I thought I was, so I wouldn't pretend to state a definitive opinion one way or another — but best as anyone knows right now, his death was...

(this is a joke)

I do, of course, have an Arya Stark hit list of people who were mean to me ten years ago so once the bloodletting occurs we can get down to proper business. I may have been through therapy but I'm still a Scorpio.

As I have access to everything at a file and database level it would be basically like copying one to the other 1:1. Doesn't really matter how it's set up presently. There would be some downtime just since the site would need to be locked to keep posts from getting lost in the transition but...
