Well fuck..
Added 2015-07-01 21:54:55 +0000 UTCApparently, Patreon done fucked up, guys. Almost everyone is getting declined. Very few pledges have gone through, and there's a huge list of declines right now.. I don't know what the fuck they did to cause this problem, but I'm gonna need you guys to step in. I don't know what you'll have to do to fix it, but please check your Patreon payment status, talk to your bank, do whatever you have to do to make your pledge go through - both for me, and any other Patreon campaigns you're supporting! This is a serious problem for many creators like myself who rely on income from Patreon to make a living. Hopefully, Patreon themselves will be able to fix it before things get even more out of hand, but in the meantime.. You guys are my only hope.

I'm honestly not sure. Patreon fixed the problems we were having at the beginning of the month, so my best guess if you're having trouble getting your pledge to process would be to talk to your bank about it, see if they're denying the transactions.

2015-07-01 22:22:36 +0000 UTCThey're on it: <a href="https://twitter.com/Patreon/status/616363723423232000" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/Patreon/status/616363723423232000</a> In related news, there's rumors that you should NOT hit retry yourself - since they're also retrying automatically on their end you might end up with a duplicate charge until they notice and fix those again...

2015-07-01 22:12:16 +0000 UTCYep, saw a message on this from one of my other pledges. It seems to be on patreon's end since there's no reason mine should have been declined. Just clicking retry without changing anything worked. So, for those who don't know how to do that, just go to the menu in the upper-right and click on payment settings, you should be able to just click "retry" and it should go through fine.
