The 2026 Support Drive is here!

WE HIT THE MARCH GOAL!

Let’s keep going and see if we can hit that April goal before we even get to April! So that means we’re targeting 142%

For a confluence of reasons March and April are going to be difficult months to getting the bills paid to run this site. On top of that, this time last year we had 20 patrons, this year it is half (prior to kicking off the drive). I’m setting a goal of $1250 for March and $500 for April. Ideally we hit the March goal on March 22. 😳

Upgrades are allowed so if you want to start at Silver today and Gold in a few months, I’m happy to accommodate.

🚀 March Goal Progress: $1320/$1200 🚀

Updates:

• We have 2 new tiers.
  1. Honor $120/year (that’s $10/month; less than your streaming subscriptions)
     
  2. Distinguished $240/year
     
• A new PayPal button, which has a few more options but could also introduce problems. Let me know if you run into issues.

Update: Would folks be interested in a monthly subscription for the tiers of Honor and Distinguished?

Lastly, I’ll have some special perks for the two new tiers. For Distinguished, definitely a permanent place for your username somewhere on the website more prominently then in a post on a forum. So even if you do it once, your name will be enshrined somewhere.

@djensen I have just bought “Gold” as usual. Happy New Year!

Paypal went just flawlessly. I just wondered about the “MARK PAYPAL PPPL” indication during the transaction.
But Paypal’s overview shows “Livid Labs” as usual.

[djensen]

@Panther I know that you sent in for Gold but your contributions here are worth more than Gold and to show my, and our, appreciation for your hard work, I have made the executive decision to upgrade you to Distinguished. I see no better person to receive the first Distinguished badge and status.

I don’t know what we would do without you, thank you. 👏

[Panther]

@djensen
Oh, what a great surprise, thank you a lot! I truly appreciate your recognition of my work. It motivates me greatly to continue regularly taking care of the forum in the future.

[VictoryFirst]

Good to see two new support options! I went with another Gold this year 😁 Thanks for the awesome site!

And thanks Panther for your unparalleled dedication, you absolutely deserve that distinguished badge!

[Witt]

@djensen I have done my Gold ; thanks Dave.

[Narvik]

@djensen

I sent in for Gold as usual.

Thanks for running this site

[The Captain]

Just bought Distinguished. Should I also buy Gold ?

Payment went through without any problems (pay by card - it works!)

Captain

[djensen]

@The-Captain For 2025? If you would like to, that can be arranged.

[The Captain]

@djensen

Yes - for 2025 - I would like that.

Thanks.

[DoManMacgee]

@djensen I hit “honored” by mistake because I did not realize “distinguished” was an option.
Can I buy a second “honored” tier to get the “distinguished” role (120 X 2 = 240)?

[djensen]

@DoManMacgee Yes you may!

[DoManMacgee]

@djensen Done. DM’d you the receipt info.

[djensen]

Hey everybody. Patron activity has been slow in early 2026 – I have been and will be making a lot of updates and improvements this but these things cost time and money. March through April in particular are going to be expensive so if you’re planning on supporting the site, now is better than end of year. Thanks!

[djensen]

Next week, I’m going to start rolling out Patron-only features for the battle calculator.

• Dynamic odds results (you don’t have to press the button)
• Unlimited battle results sharing
• Save OOL presets to your browser (later to the cloud)
• Battle comparisons

[djensen]

Also, if folks want to buy in at a lower tier now and upgrade later, I’m open to that. Our tiers are designed to make this work.

[PGsquig]

Just put in for Gold. Thanks Dave! I really appreciate your work and the new updates to the site are exciting!

[VictoryFirst]

That’s a large bill to pay for March! Would not like to see this site going down. Can I upgrade to Distinguished?

[djensen]

@VictoryFirst Don’t worry, the site won’t go down, I just have to pay out of pocket … it just hurts a bit while I’m not gainfully employed.

Yes, you can upgrade. I just realized upgrading from Gold to Distinguished isn’t covered. I’ll fix that and get back to you.

[Titus]

My first support for Silver! Great to have this community.
