So, this already has been sort of a 'thing' anyway. I believe due to the way Patreon.com was handling roles everyone was already put on the Discord 'permanently' when they joined and stayed in their role even if they left. I don't think that was the original Discord intent BUT I'm going to roll with it!
I got an update letter from Patreon the other day saying they were adjusting the Patreon/Discord API linking which might mean prior (and only prior) patrons would be dropped off the Discord. That won't happen now but read on!
Some thoughts on my Discord
You might already know I am big on building and keeping our little community together. I like Discord and it allows for nice things.
I want to add my goal currently with my Discord is to make it mainly about my art with miscellaneous community sharing centered on BE/GTS and FMG. I have no plans to make my Discord a 'blow off steam' place with rants, memes and "what's happening" channels. That is not a knock on Discords with that theming! I'm on a lot of them myself and it can be awesome! I feel we have so many of those already though - I like to think if you are on my Discord you can leave notifications on and know if the notice goes off you're likely going to see my art or some relevant bit of info you would enjoy. At least that's my hope! haha
At any rate, I'm still workshopping a lot of this so bear with me as we learn better ways to share and communicate.
THANK YOU for your support and THANK EVERYONE who checks out the Discord.
Talk with you soon!
