is there a way to pay for the server ourselves? or it has to be Zef who does the payment thing?

I've offered to pay a few times and have sent him money before in order for it to be paid, but he's the only one with the payment information. His name is on the account and I don't have access to that at all.

Not sure if this has been discussed in the past, but if someone could manage to contact him, would it not be possible to transfer the server account ownership (or at least share the server payment information) so that this risk doesn't come up every year?

Also, just in case all of us need to communicate should the forum go down, can the Discord become public? (or if I could have an invite now )

I've asked for access to the payment account many times and unfortunately nothing has come of it.

The Discord server is planned to open up to public access again on Monday.

Thank you for this comment, I just saw it - I'll see if this is something we can do with the permissions we have. Unfortunately neither of the forum owners are active right now and some of the control panel options are still locked to them, but I really hope a straightforward possibility can happen for a transfer.

Which one do you mean? If you're talking about the one linked in the first post, it's still there for anyone to cross-post material they want to.

Is that forum for posting material only? Can we discuss there same as here?
