To the Future
🕑 Added 2019-09-24 10:52:04 +0000 UTCHello everyone, I hope this finds you well. This is a combination post I have been writing for a while now to pair with a video tonight discussing a few things. If you just want to see the content things and such scroll to the end of this post but I really recommend reading it all <3 Also to be paired with this awfully worded video here: ( https://youtu.be/L1Rr9cMjr2o CURRENTLY UPLOADING)
When I started this a few years ago I had a single purpose, kick depressions ass and unite as many people as possible. Early on people asked us to set up a Patreon and the rest is history. Through your support you have allowed us to live a semblance of a normal life whilst giving us a platform to make our voice heard. For a while this has been a rudderless ship, just sailing, not knowing the course but knowing the general direction we were headed.
Recently you have likely seen a difference in content, in both amount and creativity. Things have never been clearer now. My pain is still here but I wake up in the morning with purpose, bursting with ideas and drive and I get on with my day, in particular the past month has been rough (Will go into this soon, talking is important!) but even through the worst days I'm thinking of new ideas. This will impact everything greatly. I'm slowly feeling like me, I haven't felt like this in probably 5 years+. It is incredible. I wouldn't be here without you all. I have put a huge amount of time and effort into upgrading some core features lately, it has been rocky and there have been awful issues but it seems to be smoothing out now. I care, every little mistake or audio imperfection I hear. It exists. I am on a never ending road to upgrade our quality and I think the next step is to take a sound engineering course (I'm pretty passionate about it and it has real world uses too)
The next year is going to be big for us, we are going to start putting out more professional based content such as reviews, trying to build the channel and the brand and try and make this an actual career. We are extremely proud of what we have achieved so far but have to face facts. At current we make a drop of what would be needed to actually start saving to make a life. The base has been built, it is strong, sturdy. Our formula is good, our creativity is fire (Not to toot my own horn) and we have the best damn fan base in the world. Let's see where this crazy road goes together. I think we can make something very unique and I can't wait to share more with you. PokeButtz is just the tip of the IceBerg
If you are not on Keepetclassy.com you should be! there is a Schedule for all our content in advance at http://keepetclassy.com/schedule/ and there will be reviews and other goodies as well as Gabriel's writings. This is your hub, so far I have been doing 2 scheduled solo streams a week and 1 duo stream with Gabriel as well as a Patreon Exclusive stream on YouTube on Tuesdays and I am super happy with this so far. The website has had a major coding change and back end changes to make things smoother, it is also going to undergo a visual change too. Lastly on the visual/design aspect I have recently reached out to Matthew Muhart (The wonderful artist who did the Big Gabriel Little Aaron drawing and some amazing LDO artwork) to help find our visual style for thumbnails (and be pretty damn unique too)

The last part of this I want to talk about current Patron Tiers. The response to the rewards are OVERWHELMING. I never expected so many people to want to support us. The shirts and other bits coming in your Patron packaging are very very special. A lot of time, thought and effort are going into these to say thank you for everything you've ever done for us over the years. This also means for future new patrons we are changing things a bit. I can't give the details yet until they are finalised at the moment but expect similar to current tiering, except things like the shirt wont be customised per person etc. We will be retiring current tiers at the end of this month. If you have signed up to this tier or sign up to it before the end of the month you can stay on this tier if you wish. This will not effect your t-shirt or package in the slightest! You will still receive all the benefits for whatever tier you have selected even if you just sign up before month end! You will not lose anything, this is just for new patrons going forward. If you have any questions about this please ask! Lastly: if you have sent me your address one more step: Send me another message telling me your favourite game/colour/pop culture theme (Sci-fi, apocalyptic etc)
This is exciting times for us and I think it will be the Best year of content going forward yet. Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for your time, your kindness, your patience.
Peace, Love, Energy and Blessings
Aaron

As a long-time viewer and new Patron, just wanted to thank you guys for all the stuff you do. Your content helps me decompress from really stressful days at work, and I'll always appreciate it.

No problemo Glenn :D
Okay. Aaron is a cyberspace wizard. I get home from work to try and do what he suggested. Just for laughs I try and reset my password again and check my email for the reset again with no luck. So I go to wordpress and make an account and try and log in to keepetclassy with that and it says password invalid. So I try the password reset again and low and behold it finally sends the email! So now it is all working again correctly. Thank you again Aaron!

Try making a wordpress user with the same email. Than try and login, if it says email in use when you try and signup DM me your email and i will see if i can fix it.
Yep, I've tried resetting my password through wordpress 5 or 6 times now and have not received any emails from them. Nothing in my inbox or junk/spam folders. Kinda at a loss at what to do here. I mean its not a super big deal not getting to see the videos early since i rarely have the time to watch them early anyway. Thanks for trying bro.
hey man, i had this problem. what i did was enter my email address into the word press log in and then do a password reset. When I reset it I believe my patreon was already connected. Have you checked your junk/spam/sponsor inboxes? Silly question, but it may have been sent there
Keep up the great work guys. I love the content. Quick question though, are any other patreon users having issues accessing the keepetclassy website? I haven't logged on to it recently (didn't want to try and access it while Aaron was updating it but now when it try and log in now I get the following message: "Sorry. A WordPress user with the same email you use at Patreon exists. Please log into this site with your WordPress user first, and then log in with Patreon to link these two accounts..." I've tried requersting a passowrd reset but wordpress will not send me an email. Any thoughts?
New Patron here. I really hope you guys can keep going long into the future. It's incredible how much doing Keep 'et Classy has helped you Aaron and I'm proud to be a part of helping it to continue.
This is all very good.
