Should monthly packs still be a thing if everything is posted anyway?
Added 2021-09-10 15:15:03 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
I have a question for what might be a change around these parts, and I want everyone's input!
If you're new, I used to send a monthly zip with all the content of a month. I did this as an anti-piracy measure. However, not only was it not effective, but it was time and resource consuming (pack uploads would use up a good chunk of bandwidth and storage). Furthermore, I've simply been posting everything I make as it comes on the respective tiers.
So, to cut straight to the point: should I keep sending out packs, or is it okay to just post the content as it comes?
Let me know below!

hello, for me, the great advantage of having a pack is to be sure to not miss everything. Sometimes, I get so busy with my own life that I miss some posts, and the pack helps me to remember to come here and see the publications/polls. I'm open to try another method without the pack, to see how it goes...

However, it would be nice if we can save file manually and still get file order correctly by having number label of file name for variant of each pic set that not overlap. Also agree with comment above that I'm okay with changes just worry if it's only me that miss something.
