I just saw an email from Buy Me a Coffee. Not just one. I went in, and I'm truly shocked. Thank you all for the support; I would like to thank each and every one of you individually someday. Honestly, I don't know what to say. The account balance is $350, which will definitely allow me to develop kbin faster or at least not worry so much about equipment costs. Today, I don't have the headspace to think about how exactly I'll use it, but I will definitely consult with you and report back in the future. Thank you also for all the kind words, suggestions, and questions. They are equally important to me.

I'm sorry that the current circumstances are such that kbin isn't functioninng as it should, but it has given me additional motivation to keep fighting. That's for sure.

I'd definitely say it's probably a good thing to look into how to get monthly ongoing revenue to help with server costs / development.

I get that right now with the massive influx of people coming across, the attention might be on rapidly pushing out improvements and getting things stable, but at some point getting some sort of funding would help ensure the future stability of the site as it continues to expand (and it should rapidly if people actually flee Reddit on June 30th)
