Heads up to our GIFmakers, artists, and animators on Pillowfort: We will be introducing an Upload Limit Increase option of 10MB for $5 as part of Pillowfort Premium no later than Dec 1, 2024. 🎉
We're aware there may be concerns regarding our new funding goal. We would not set this goal if we did not believe we could meet it. Our community continues to rally for us & that gives us hope. We also want to remain cautiously optimistic we will remain online past Jan 2025.
UPCOMING PILLOWFORT PREMIUM PRICE INCREASE As of Dec 1, 2024 we will be slightly raising our Pillowfort Premium prices to help us meet our new funding goal. Upload Limit Increase: $2.49 ➡️ $3.50 Multiple Avatars: $1.99 ➡️ $2.50 Avatar Frames: $1.49 ➡️ $1.50
This time-frame is different from what we had stated previously to the community (previous was February 2025). We are accounting for extra hours worked over the summer and including additional hours we are planning to work the remainder of the year.
Due to increase in hours our team worked Aug & Sep + additional staffing, we will have enough funding to remain online until Jan 2025 if we make the 5K goal in Sept. We only need to raise $800 in 3 days to meet September's goal.
MONTHLY FUNDING GOAL INCREASE Beginning Oct 2024 our goal is increasing from 5K to 7K. We added another member to our developer team over the summer and so our budget is being increased due to that. Having another developer on board will help us get site updates out faster!
2024 PILLOWFORT FUNDING AS OF 9/27/24 Jan: 4,078.58 Feb: 5,586.22 Mar: 5,627.57 Apr: 5,515.81 May: 5,281.50 Jun: 5,536.35 Jul: 5,059.35 Aug: 5,997.42 These totals are based on settled transactions. Thanks to your support we have have made every goal except Jan 2024.
Artists/Sex Workers and Adult Creators Here is the ideal diversification away from hellholes like X/Facebook and the weird remains of Tumblr @pillowfortsoc.bsky.social and BlueSky compliment each other well, short burst postings on BSky and Community Building and Archiving on Pillowfort 💙🤝🖤
