So IceDigger used to take donations for the site, and occasionally still pitches in because he's an awesome guy like that. The bills are very low for SX and I don't really need any money to keep things going, I don't mind footing the bills typically speaking.
Occasionally in the past sometimes when renewals come up I've tended to reconsider whether I should keep the site going and post a thread to see what lurkers think about it; it's always positive because everyone here is pretty great! Let's be clear this is not one of those times, SX will be around for a long time still.
That said, recently I took down IceDigger's donations thread when doing some clean up and it made me think about possibly replacing it with something, or maybe not? I'm not familiar with that sort of thing these days so I thought I'd just ask you guys for your thoughts on the matter. When asking around about the best way to approach things, such as if I should accept crypto or whathaveyou, I was recommended that instead of old-school donations I should think about just setting up a Patreon.
