There are many SA books I'd like to see but I think this site should just be concerned with GA comics. Once you open the door to SA, it may start blurring the lines to eventually hosting all PD comics no matter the year.
Just my 1ยข (not as valuable as Jims!)

If there was a site like DCM that carried Public Domain Silver Age comics, I don't think DCM hosting post-GA books would be an issue for anyone.

For the small amount of silver age comics that are PD it would not be worth setting up a site for only them. They will likely not even get a seperate section. After we have the GA comics sorted we will look at how far we can stretch the titles and publishers we have. Much later we will look at new publishers who might be PD. Main focus is always going to be golden age, and that is what most of the PD comics are, pre 1960's.

Perhaps my phrasing was awkward, so to clarify: If there was a site that hosted SA PD comics, DCM wouldn't have to worry about hosting post-GA books or spending time discussing the possibility of hosting SA.
I don't see any reason why someone who was interested in doing so couldn't set-up a site for PD SA comics, OR, more importantly, shouldn't set-up a site just because the selection would be significantly smaller compared to the selection of GA books that are PD. How many files were hosted on such a site would also depend on what "start date" was used. If someone choose 1950 as the year they considered the Silver Age to have started, then the selection they'ld have would be larger compared to what they'ld have if they only stuck to anything DCM didn't host. There's no good reason there shouldn't be something of an overlap between DCM & a SA site, since some comic fans might not care about GA comics. Since DCM promotes itself as a GA site, some collectors/fans might not bother even checking this place out. Basically, DCM & a SA site would be focused on different "target audiences", so having certain files on both sites is simply a good idea.
As far as whether or not setting-up a site would be "worth it", there's plenty of options out there where the cost of setting-up such a site would be "$0.00".
