Adjustment to Shout-Outs
Added 2020-07-02 19:36:21 +0000 UTCWhat's poppin' patrons! Hope you're having an excellent day. I'm here to update y'all and let you know the time has come to adjust the way we do the shout-out perk.
Until this month, I've listed every active patron in the intros. As you can imagine, that takes quite a long time. June's list took me two afternoons to complete and as I looked at July's list of 100+ NEW patrons compared to June, I realized it was definitely time for a change.
Starting this month I'll only be listing patrons that have been supporting the patreon for six months in a row or more. You will continue to receive all other benefits of whatever tier you're signed up for but your name will only be in the intros if you've been subscribed here on patreon for six months in a row or more.
As always, I appreciate all of you. I created the perk back when we first started the patreon because I wanted to highlight anybody that went out of their way to support me, so it was perfect at the time. But as we've grown larger and larger as a community, it's gotten nearly impossible to keep up with. I believe this solution is good because it means a $2 patron can see their name in the intro just as a $25 patron can see their name in the intro; it's not biased towards those who pay more, rather, it honors those of you who consistently come back to support me again and again.
The last thing I want to do is disappoint you. But when it takes this many hours just to update an intro, something had to be done. My apologies!
Thank you for your continued support. Look out for more great content here on the patreon in the coming days, as per usual. Love y'all.

So happy you are getting all the support for all of us. I personally dont mind if you only list those who have been with you longer. It was definitely getting harder to read as the list was getting longer and longer each month. ❤❤❤
