I was cleared for creating an account.
So basically, I intend on doing this. If I don't use Patreon I'll just build my own, but I think that more people trust Patreon.
The main goal here will be to raise funds for two things:
1) Creating XenForo add-ons that the forum will benefit from.
2) Continuance of Infinity Next's development.
Even if I only get a few hundred dollars a month, I will begin to sell XenForo add-ons and probably make a few hundred extra a month doing that.
I'll eventually be starting an Infinity Next imageboard in Mandarin Chinese to serve as a 2ch for China, basically. But, any development Next gets also benefits 8chan, so they would be interested in development.
Donations to the forum's paypal will directly fund the server. I can't use Patreon as a way to fund the Kiwi Farms because it can be considered "malicious content". No money from Patreon will directly pay for server costs.
I'm thinking over how I want to do this. It's really precarious.
Just giving you guys a head's up. I'm also welcoming to feedback to how I should approach the page.
Hi Josh,
I hope all's well. Thank you for proactively reaching out to our community team about your interest in starting a Patreon campaign.
Based on our current guidelines you'd be okay to use Patreon, despite your mentioned affiliations. The main consideration for us is not affiliation, but rather the overall intention of the campaign and how you plan to use the funds. If your page promotes harmful or illegal activity, or becomes a haven to the kind of malicious content that led to the deletion of the 8chan, we will have to remove your account immediately.
Also, please be advised not to state a connection with 8chan or Frederick anywhere on your page. Nor can your campaign be used to funnel funds to Frederick.
If you haven't already done so, I recommend getting familiar with our community guidelines as well:

Thank you again for you email, Josh. I'm here if you have any additional questions for us.
Regards,
Maria Savala
