Ok so I recently noticed a small (ok pretty friggin big) hick in the VIP Forum. Generally, anyone who's donated more than $4.99 is a supporter (i.e Tier 1 - 6), but only Tiers 3-6 can view the VIP Forum. What I'm getting at is that Tiers 1 & 2 can't really join Supporter Collabs (for example) even though they should be, and for instance don't even know about the supporter skype chat or supporter competitions, because all of these are posted in this forum without the slightest consideration for the 'other supporters', if you get my drift.
Now, I have a pretty good solution for this. When I first brought this up in the supporter skype chat, I suggested mass-PMing everyone, but I realize that would be too much work, not to mention that whoever sends out the PMs would be getting a crap-load of replies, possibly too many to handle.
Megan then suggested that we blog about it, but even then we couldn't be sure that they all see it.
So I think if we put both those together, it might work!
We can PM all the Tier 1 & 2 members only once, and walk them through subscribing to a PC Supporter blog (which we'll make, obviously), and then how to frequently check their blog subscriptions. We'll then use that blog to post any important stuff like the Supporter Skype Chat, or maybe a supporter competition, or collab or w.e.
Of course, if they want any more information, they'll have to PM designated supporters for that kind of info, or maybe just the PC Supporters account that will handle the blog.
Here's the account:

If we agree to this, I'll go ahead and donate that account to Tier 2 so that it can blog lmao.
Then I can either send out the password to anyone who wants access, or just add you to the blog so you can blog there from your own accounts :)
