I will admit, I stopped donating to the patreon before under the previous ownership because after that initial surge of support brought by this very thread two years ago, there was very little progress on updating the site or adding new features and there was an extreme lack of communication on what was being worked on and the progress of it. Months would go by with little to no progress updates, either here or on patreon, including a lack of responses to my direct comments/questions, and it just killed whatever motivation I had to continue supporting. I just felt like I was wasting my money.
Honestly, with how the economy is going at the moment and how little this site has to offer me at the moment, I don't know if I'll support the site monetarily in the future unless there is some kind of assurance that some actual progress will be made on bringing it up to modern standards in regards to features and functionality.
Valid points. I'd address this a little:
With honesty: we can't promise progress. I've been doing some background stuff. Had a few hours of free time, and wrote a crude story read-only view (if someone knows some HTML and CSS for that, PM me).
We got a few thoughts and ideas. dxasmodeus is steering them in a good way.
We switched the technology stack with the migration, replacing the Apache2 with nginx webserver (which sped up page loads), and dropping the original monthly costs to about 20 % of what it was before.
Besides that... I am not the captain, just the guy greasing and oiling the cockwheels.
