They are changing the procedure, so I created an "independent" from Linode account - will move to that one shortly. Anyway, the one you found should work!

In the preparation of Linode payment changes I switched to my own PayPal account and updated the PayPal.me link. I hope it's less confusing now:
https://paypal.me/likeracom
An interesting alternative for data storage: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage-pricing.html
The problem is - they charge $0.01 per downloaded GB. Currently, only registered users can download images/videos uploaded to the forum. If big files are saved somewhere, it would be very difficult to control the access. If the current traffic is 500GB/month, it will be at least 2TB. In the example above the calculated price is: Initial upload: 100GB Uploaded per month: 20GB Downloaded per month: 2TB Annually: $253 (I think it's without VAT, so most likely it will be $300) So, theoretically, storage-wise B2 is cheaper, than Linode (or similar VPS hosters), but the total costs will be still around $1000 per year.

A couple of rippers, weird crawling bots and the costs will be skyhigh.

A buffer account is still used, though - the direct server payment is not implementedFinally, the direct payment system has been implemented by Linode! Whatever you donate to my Paypal account (e.g. https://paypal.me/likeracom) goes directly to the payment system! So, the site future is in your hands now, guys!

Even if the money is on the Linode account, I still have to "move it" manually. My original idea was to make it fully autonomous and community driven - anything can happen, you know...
