actually it did say tier 3 and up for VIP forum access whilst the style testing forum is accessed through tier 1 supporters or higher. UNLESS THEY CHANGED THAT TOO AND DIDN'T FIX IT ON THE DONATIONS LIST THEN IDK. :T lol
I know this cos Cirno is a Tier 2 supporter and she had blog access even before she got modded, it's just that she didn't make her blog until after the modding.
