Their new logo is a minimalist version of floppy male genitalia. It's unbelievable how stupid it looks.
I'm glad the supporter badge uses the old design.

They would not have been implemented without the efforts of SlateSlabrock, who is our new forum wizard, so many thanks to him.

Also the new Patreon logo is a poor attempt at aping Saul Bass and I disapprove of it on that level alone. Don't imitate a master if you can't pull it off.

Hi all,

Just a reminder, if you've pledged $5 or more, please let me know if you want your Patreon badge. I don't want to leave anyone out!

You might notice that there was no charge for the patreon this month. I'm likely going to be ending the patreon because A. I don't want to file a schedule C anymore and B. the cost of the forums is low enough that I can absorb it. Especially with reducing our linode plan (which was always overprovisioned).

I appreciate everyone's support, but given the pandemic and the way things are in the world, that money might be better off in your pockets than mine.
