Can we pay certain posters to stay away from the site and improve the experience for the rest of us?

How much are you asking for?

Also, is there a way we can directly transfer cash (lump sum instead of monthly/no Patreon fees) etc?

$3 or less 5% + $0.10
over $3 2.9% + $0.30
Additional 1% for non-US PayPal payments

And then then is a processing fee to get the payments out of Paypal.

They don't appear to support that, but we do have a paypal that it gets funnelled to that we can make available?

Since the costs are monthly, it would great to have a small amount regularly so we can see the income match those costs. But if people prefer to do a one of payment, we can sort something out.

Happy to do whatever works best, but I thought last time we did it we just transferred money into one of your guys bank accounts? Don't like to see two middlemen clip the ticket.

Yep, that's what we used to do. We had a different hosting model then, and that was good for one off costs. We now have our own server, that Duluth and I manage, and it's a monthly cost.

That's why we added in the google ads, but that has become less desirable.
