Announcement Two (Patreon)

OK....we received another termination forewarning message but of a completely different kind. It seems like Shutterfly will be shutting down their Shared Sites, so a notice to everyone who were on former Cobalt/Cobalt Plus Tier members whom we used to share drafts and pictures via this platform:  

Unfortunately, after careful consideration, we have made the very difficult decision to discontinue supporting Share Sites so that we can continue to enhance other products and services to better serve our customers.

Effective March 27, 2023, all Share Sites will be deactivated, and users will no longer have access to Share Sites content.

Also - we note that a lot of you patrons are asking about what we did with the deleted pics and/or whether they can be downloaded from somewhere else. Yes, they are secure, as Saver has a great attachment to his works, but we will not promote or facilitate the retrieval or sharing of these images that were deemed inappropriate by Patreon Admin and were summarily removed. Please kindly understand, as we are on the verge of site suspension - or worse - deletion unless we demonstrate we are compliant creators that honor the community standards set forth by management. This policy will remain the same after the successful completion of the compliance review. If you still would like to discuss this matter, there are multiple other ways to find me (Aster) on the web - and I already see some people that are leaving comments that do know my alternate contact info.

Thank you.
