It’s been just under two months since my “OTB’s Future” post warning that the site as you know it is in peril and asking for reader feedback. Here’s a brief update.
In the ensuing period, 19 folks have either joined our Patreon or upped their monthly contributions. Another three have made one-time donations via PayPal. Thanks!*
While we’re still not bringing in enough revenue to quite make up for the costs of running the site in its current form, we’re getting close. Depending on what we discover over the summer, what it will cost to get the site running more efficiently on the backend remains to be seen.

*I’ve noted multiple times that I’ve been reluctant to ask for contributions. Partly because I’ve that, I’ve largely ignored the backend of the Patreon site since setting it up, unaware of various tools for contacting contributors. I’ve done a woeful job of thanking folks for their support.
