Our community needs help via Patreon donations!

[Antvasima]

Hmm. Maybe I simply misremembered or you paid a higher sum than required for the Gold Supporter membership then. I will check.

 

[Antvasima]

It seems like @Stefano4444 and @FinePoint each paid for a 1 year Silver Supporter membership via Ko-fi, but not Agnaa. He currently has a regular Gold Supporter membership via Patreon though.

@Agnaa

Would it be fine if we remove your Silver Supporter badge then?

 

[Agnaa]

Of course.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you for being reasonable.

Done.

 

[GoodGamerSam]

Thank you very much for the support. It is greatly appreciated.

However, please change your username there to the same one that you use here, so I will know who to renew the membership for in coming months.

The same goes for whoever uses the "Inz" username.

I think that is you, @Dread .

Which member uses the username Inz by the way?

Did you manage to get confirmation from "Dread" in the end?

 

[ImmortalDread]

I think that is you, @Dread .

Nope. My name is:

Oh, I need to refresh my subscription

 

[ImmortalDread]

Have refreshed it. You can check it. My name is still the same.

 

[Antvasima]

It seems like the payments from @TheUnshakableOne (Gold Supporter) and @Dread (Bronze Supporter) have been declined by their banks or PayPal.

 

[TheUnshakableOne]

It seems like the payments from @TheUnshakableOne (Gold Supporter) and @Dread (Bronze Supporter) have been declined by their banks or PayPal.

I get paid tomorrow. I know the issue is lol. Try again tomorrow

 

[ImmortalDread]

It seems like the payments from @TheUnshakableOne (Gold Supporter) and @Dread (Bronze Supporter) have been declined by their banks or PayPal.

I will try tomorrow, I tried multiple times and somehow the Patreon declined

 

[ImmortalDread]

Alright. So I cancelled the membership and removed the payment method to retry everything, which worked smoothly.
Also, here is further evidence if you want to have it: the link
Thanks for the reminder.

@AKM sama

Can you prolong Dread's Bronze Supporter membership by one month please?

 

[AKM sama]

Done.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you for helping out.

 

[ImmortalDread]

Done.

Thank you very much

Seeing as we use Patreon, this news should be relevant.

Patreon Lays Off Its Entire Security Team

That could be a problem for a platform that manages payments, contact information, and more.

www.pcmag.com

 

[Antvasima]

Yes, I mentioned it to my friend who owns this forum a few days ago, but he does not know if we have anyother good available other options.

Good and useful alternative suggestions would obviously be very appreciated.

 

[Antvasima]

Please read the entire article including the comments section though. The headline may have been very misleading.

 

[Dalesean027]

I don't think we should overreact just yet while that is certainly some big news I doubt we'd need to jump ship as this situation is still fresh and there so far hasn't been any reports of creator pages being negatively affected but if I'm understanding correctly it's the outsourcing of the security now that has us worried right, not the layoff of the old team?

 

[Antvasima]

Well, this seems to be a case of firing five of their staff members who handle security issues, rather than the actual entire security staff, and outsourcing their tasks to businesses more specialised in such areas, so the fired members could just be trying to strike back at the company by exaggerating, even though the security will be just as good as previously, or even more professionally handled.

PayPal's pool is a good suggestion if you know how to moderate it (using notion as a side of noting). Paddle is a good one (even preferred by most of the companies).

 

[Antvasima]

Is there another one where both parties in the transactions remain entirely anonymous to each other? PayPal is definitely not good in that regard as far as I am aware.

Paddle then. A lot of companies use it. It is far most secure one as well.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. I will ask my friend to evaluate it.

 

[wwereymy235]

I’ve upgraded to gold supporter I believe

 

[Antvasima]

Oh. I will check and then ask AKM to handle it then. Thank you for telling me and for helping us out.

 

[ImmortalDread]

I’ve upgraded to gold supporter I believe

Don't force me to do diamond upgrade rn

 

[wwereymy235]

Don't force me to do diamond upgrade rn

If you do, I’ll upgrade to platinum

 

[ImmortalDread]

If you do, I’ll upgrade to platinum

Bet?

 

[ImmortalDread]

Wait there is no platinum tier, I am dumb

@AKM sama

Here are our current Patreon supporters:

Diamond Supporter: @Chariot190

Gold Supporters: @Edwellken , @JohnConquest1 , @Muchacho_mrm , @Agnaa , @wwereymy235

Silver Supporters: @Dalesean027 , @First_Witch , @Mr._Bambu , @Oloserian , @Pain_to12 , @Sir_Ovens ,

Bronze Supporters: @DontTalkDT , @Propellus , @Dread , @Firestorm808 , @GoodGamerSam , @Inz , @JnSteHar002 , @PsychoWarper , @Quangotjokes

They all need to have their memberships increased by another month. Would you be willing to handle it please?

Also, thanks a lot for helping out to all of them.

(Also, Muchacho seems to almost reach the Diamond Supporter tier, as he pays 17 Euros per month going by what I could see, so he might be interested in an upgrade.)

Since I calculated it right, this is €118 (I assume the financial goal is €250 if I am not mistaken, and on Jun 14, 2022, you posted it, and you said they're €21/monthly).
You could say we made a huge improvement in some months. The owner does not necessarily need to pay huge amounts, but rather smaller now.

Let's hope, we may get €250 through donations only, at least this will put the owner a good smile in his face haha

 

[Antvasima]

Well, I think that we roughly break even in terms of our monthly costs now, but the forum owner still had to pay around 12,000 Euros before we set up our advertisements and Patreon service, so it would be very nice if we can gradually chip away on that.

 

[Arnoldstone18]

Here are our current Patreon supporters:

Ant Sir, you're missing one more person.

 

[Antvasima]

Yes, you also seem to have signed up now. Thanks a lot for helping out.

You should preferably change your Patreon username to the same one that you use here in order to avoid misunderstandings though.

@AKM sama , @Arnoldstone18 also needs a Silver Supporter membership for the next month.
