This Pandemic Is Crushing Our Industry. It Could Crush GRM, Too.

Re-upped my subscription, got a shirt, and signed up at Patreon.   You guys are a huge portion of my digital entertainment time everyday.  Keep kicking ass!

Renewed for 10 years. This forum has been invaluable to me. 

Hope I did it right, but I think I'm in.  Ham fisted computer skills at best.

A heads up about the patreon link because I was so confused about the only option being $3. Once you click on the button below it, the page it takes you too you can change the $3 to any amount you want taken out.

Hey folks!

For everyone who asked about the 10 year subscriptions, I'm working on getting that added as an option on the online form up so you won't have to call in to sign up. :)

Thanks so much for your support! I'm fairly new to this (relative to everyone else on the staff and everyone else with my last name), and reading through this thread I have been continuously amazed with how dedicated you all are to this community and to supporting what we do. Y'all are awesome. 

As a token of my gratitude, I will post the tried-and-true recipe I use for challah in the bread thread. 

In reply to ultraclyde (Forum Supporter) :

On Patreon you can just type in the amount you want to pay before entering the payment info.  There is a note that most people go for 5 or 10 per month.

Looks like we're up to 54 supporters =)

Just bought a shirt. Will be back in a few weeks for a hat to spread out the cash. Will donate $$$ too if it comes to it. Whatever it takes for you guys to keep the lights on.

Got ya via this.  Easier for me that way.  

Without having read through the full 8 pages, I purpose a subscription option.

$100 per a year subscription option. It's not about cashflow (though that doesn't hurt) as it is about showing advertisers how much you mean to us and how much we value the content you provide. Keep track and tabs of the number of $100 subscriptions to add into the media kit information for current and potential advertisers. 

I'm ordering another BLACK t-shirt, to go with my other 4, and probably a gray hoodie...

But PLEASE have the t-shirt folks print some on white, gray, blue, red...anything other than black; I swear I'd buy 4 of those!

Thanks again for all the support, everybody! I'm working through the list and applying your new titles now.

Tom,

I donated via papal on 4/1 before the "Forum Supporter" thing happened. Didn't think to put my user name in as a note. Any chance when things slow down I can get that designation? I have one of them there yahoo emails so I can't send/receive PM's or I would have asked that way. My paypal should have **EditedOut** in it...Thx.

There are storms which I would not have been able to weather without them. They are the absolute best.

I'd be in for t-shirts in lighter colors. I know black doesn't show grease as well, but I have to do all my wrenching in the driveway and dark colors are just to darn hot...

You know, we need to add the ability to heart a post. Should probably add it to the long, long list.

I subscribed. Good luck guys. I also work in publishing and our print edition is on the way out this year, I'm sure.

BTW: I don't need the t-shirt (I left my size blank).

In reply to Patrick ($2000 Challenge Legend) :

oh yeah?  well check out *my* title!

I'm new, haven't been to any events, and don't post a lot but I do read this forum practically every day as well as appreciate the wealth of knowledge and hilarity I see here daily. I joined on Patreon and will subscribe this evening. Thank you all.

Excellent! As soon as I see what the finances look like, I plan on reupping for 10 years on both magazines. I really enjoyed the article on RUF Yellowbird in latest CM. 

Thanks to all this madness, I officially just made the first payment on a car I don't even have in my possesion yet! lol

I'm in.  How much do I have to give for my title to say "Forum Consigliere?"

Been a subscriber since 2004-ish. Just ordered a new t-shirt and re-upped the subscription back in December. You are my first Patreon uh subscription? Anyway, I read GRM every day and that's worth the scarce money to me. 

Totally in for a red shirt. Already have white and two blacks (all different designs).

I am officially a forum supporter now.  I think I will order a new GRM shirt to celebrate...

You guys rock. 

Curious...

How many hits a day does this site generate?

Do you guys feel like George Bailey yet?
