February membership changes and upcoming poll changes.
🕑 Added 2025-02-01 23:43:39 +0000 UTCMembership updates :
G'day all. Just want to let you guys know that I'll be updating membership prices from this month onwards. This is the first time it has been updated since 2022, so I hope you guys can excuse the changes. Frankly when the prices were initially set, I was a bit of a noob, so I did not take into account important stuff like Patreon/Paypal service charges.
For the change itself, its just a dollar or less a month. Less than a cup of coffee a month really, but this will help with keeping things going in the future.
Appreciation tier will go up by 50 cents, however it will now have 2x voting power.
Supporter, Collector and Superfan tiers will go up by a dollar.
The commission tiers will be unchanged for now. I'll need time to figure this out.
I'll make the changes in round about a week so everyone should get the notice by then and make any necessary adjustments.
Poll changes :
Funnily enough this is the change that I expect the most fightback on.
Guys I simply do not have the free time to run a weekly poll anymore.
To be honest I did not have the time to run a weekly poll in the first place. It is one of those tasks that looked simple on the surface, but sucks up an enormous amount of time and mental resources.
On average a poll takes me around 6 hours a week to run. This is due to tasks like hunting for mods for KK cards (major, I can spend an entire evening doing this), and having to manually weigh and count the votes, along with other admin tasks.
I have around 15 hours of porting time a week on average, which meant that it was eating up almost half of my available time.
It has gotten to the point where I was dreading setting up each poll. And a resentment started building up as I could never find the time to port the stuff that I actually wanted anymore.
so.
I'm just going to take a page out of OniEkohvius's book and make polls a monthly affair.
Requests will be limited to Collector tier and above, while voting will be open to all.
TLDR: friendship ended with weekly polls, now bonus poll is my best friend
Yours sincerely,
A massive weeb.
