Well considering that loads of people may end up with the choice between paying to come or just not i figured there may be some kind of hiccup in the sites active members

You have been rused. Derpibooru isn’t even a blip on the radar of consumer ISPs. It is at no risk of being filtered or throttled.

Just to be clear, I’m speaking on my own in this post, not on behalf of the site in an official capacity.
 
In the grand scheme of things - Derpibooru is a relatively tiny website that serves an incredibly niche audience and does not compete with nor threaten any established internet organizations. The site is way too small to be profitable to any ISPs who wanna squeeze profits out of sites and their users, and no established internet companies would have any interest in paying for priority over Derpibooru.
 
Ultimately, Net Neutrality is going to end up being a showdown between the government, ISPs, and major internet companies (Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, Etc). Small niche websites like Derpibooru likely won’t be impacted too much because they account for so little of internet traffic that there are bigger, significantly more profitable fish to go after.

I suppose the bigger question is what it means for cloudflare - I don’t think their servers are quite as small of a blip, and if they’re throttled for some reason, that could spell trouble for a ton of sites.

Cloudflare already has peering arrangements with the major ISPs, which is a mutually beneficial arrangement that neither side is likely to want to disturb. It’s unlikely they’ll be affected at all, at least not directly.

Speaking for the site in an official capacity, Ajit Pai is a turdsack.
 
That’s an insults to sacks of shit. Shit helps plants grow. Ajit Pai is only helping grow the offshore bank accounts of greedy billionaires.

I hope this happens before the vote, which I see it likely happening since tech companies aren’t going to take extortion like that lying down, and they can easily rally the masses to their cause.

Is it likely for an ISP, in the event of the loss of net neutrality, to whitelist certain major sites in their basic packages, and then charge more for unrestricted access to the entire Internet? It’s possible that the smaller sites (as big in number as they are) make up enough of a portion of Internet traffic that they could see it as profitable to make you pay more to access them, meaning that Derpibooru would be affected by it.
 
Of course, that’s all speculation. I don’t have any hard evidence or reasoning to back that up.

Basically it’s leaving everything up to the ISPs, and as history has proven repeatedly, whatever sleazy, disgusting, revolting, money-grubbing scumbag thing you can imagine someone doing to wring out customers for just one more dime, ISPs will out do and innovate on.
 
So yeah, expect something worse than a default “Normal Usage” pack that has decent BW/month and speed to certain big sites, and more metered and slower access to “free range” internet.

This is true for any corporation in an oligopoly and under-regulated/unregulated market, especially if they trade publicly. Once a company puts profits first, either by choice or by obligation, all bets are off that they’ll behave ethically.
 
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Big govt or big business, they all end up bad for humanity.
