I think that so far, the service has fulfilled its purpose, despite this inconvenience for some users. Therefore, I would like to understand how many users use Tor, so I can make a decision on the matter.
I therefore appeal for your consideration on this topic, and whether it is really relevant at this time to make this upgrade or follow the plan in order to ensure longevity.
Appreciate your feedback.
First of all, in the poll, I didn't understand what you mean by the option "Yes and Others."
Anyway, I agree that TalkImg is definitely fulfilling its purpose at the moment, and personally, I'm quite satisfied with the service.
I would say, please follow the plan, "this is to ensure longevity"
... I mean if this upgrade is going to cost triple, and that too monthly, and will be beneficial for only four users (four YES votes at the moment
), then please hold off on this upgrade.
Secondly, regarding Tor, I have never used it to access TalkImg, so I'm not sure about the issues some users are facing. However, I have read many times that users face issues, even with Bitcointalk's captcha when accessing the forum via Tor. So, the issue may not be unique to TalkImg.
Also, the poll currently shows that 75% of users are not using Tor. Let's give this poll some time to gather better results, and then you will be able to decide. For example, if the votes are 50/50, then an upgrade is definitely needed. If "No" stays below 25%, you can hold off on the upgrade.
