I'm taking a very hands off approach to the site on and off. Very willingly have I taken responsibility to maintain the site and help it out. Because of Patreon's updated stuff on Adult Material I have a trouble ticket in on how long they're taking to get me authorized to withdraw from adult verification of ownership.
I will NOT take anyone's money if I can't use it to maintain and promote the site. I have the costs covered on my own dime in the meantime. Sure, having help will help me, but I have have set aside my own personal funds for the site so that it does not die in the meantime.
Please be patient (as I have to be patient) with Patreon and other sites.
Thanks Everyone.
Really glad for the update and relieved that you're able to handle the cost for the time being. Have you considered subscribe star as an alternative as well? You could offer both and let people choose which service to use.
I will admit, I stopped donating to the patreon before under the previous ownership because after that initial surge of support brought by this very thread two years ago, there was very little progress on updating the site or adding new features and there was an extreme lack of communication on what was being worked on and the progress of it. Months would go by with little to no progress updates, either here or on patreon, including a lack of responses to my direct comments/questions, and it just killed whatever motivation I had to continue supporting. I just felt like I was wasting my money.
Honestly, with how the economy is going at the moment and how little this site has to offer me at the moment, I don't know if I'll support the site monetarily in the future unless there is some kind of assurance that some actual progress will be made on bringing it up to modern standards in regards to features and functionality.
