Next month we'll be adding a section on changes, how many people left, how many people increased or decreased things. The above numbers do not account for some things. For example, you'll notice that there's people who are just gone from our list, they deleted without ever having paid their first pledge at all, which is fine given the way we've set up the system. All the same, we will be likely inquiring with Patreon about their new system where we can set it up for people to submit their payment upon applying to become a supporter, rather than waiting for the end of the month, as we've heard all kinds of people who have had their cards declined erroneously.

We'll be doing this every month to give complete transparency as to how much we have earned, where that money is going and what things are going to happen with the money.
