Just came out of a discussion when someone was arguing that "if everyone here would pay $10-20 per year, the whole platform would be completely different", but that seemed quite unrealistic to me.

What do you think?

I kind of liked the server side profit concept of paying to ban people who'd paid for an account if they had pissed you off enough. It might seem harsh but not only did it keep people in line, it wasn't that much money and it paid for the servers themselves.

I had an account there for a few years then eventually asked "What's the deal with research chemicals for drug use? What site do people goto to buy them?" and was banned for attempting to source drugs. So I lost my $10 account, wasn't too fussed but never got round to signing up again.

These days I'd look to tor/onion sites for drug purchase, but I'm out of the loop on how to do that too.
