@The-Captain For 2025? If you would like to, that can be arranged.

@Panther I know that you sent in for Gold but your contributions here are worth more than Gold and to show my, and our, appreciation for your hard work, I have made the executive decision to upgrade you to Distinguished. I see no better person to receive the first Distinguished badge and status.

I don’t know what we would do without you, thank you. 👏

Happy New Year! The 2026 Support Drive is here.

Updates:

• We have 2 new tiers.
  1. Honor $120/year (that’s $10/month; less than your streaming subscriptions)
     
  2. Distinguished $240/year
     
• A new PayPal button, which has a few more options but could also introduce problems. Let me know if you run into issues.

Update: Would folks be interested in a monthly subscription for the tiers of Honor and Distinguished?

Lastly, I’ll have some special perks for the two new tiers. For Distinguished, definitely a permanent place for your username somewhere on the website more prominently then in a post on a forum. So even if you do it once, your name will be enshrined somewhere.
