Apologies for the lack of updates lately. There have been multiple real-life crises going on, as well as a lot of internal discussion about the future of Made Of Fail.

After much deliberation (because this is going to make a lot of unnecessary work for me), I’ve decided to close the Made Of Fail Patreon. We have never been even remotely close to attaining even our first goal, and it’s simply not sustainable in the long run. I will continue to pay for website hosting and domain registration out-of-pocket.

Everyone will be paid for their February work, but afterwards Made Of Fail will continue on as a non-profit, volunteer-only site.

Secondly, while Made Of Fail will live on as a review site, the flagship podcast will end on its tenth anniversary episode, on June 22nd, 2018. I’m astounded that we’ve gone ten years and still have listeners – many of whom have become dear friends. Expect something special.

Regarding Episode 86: my guest had to cancel due to health reasons. We are currently trying to reschedule. This may or may not be the penultimate episode of the Made Of Fail Podcast.

Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, for your patronage and, in many cases, your friendship.

…well then.

If you don’t already know, Patreon is changing its policies to screw over basically everybody: https://www.engadget.com/2017/12/08/patreon-fee-change-will-hurt-small-contributions/

I will be discussing this soon with site contributors to see whether we will be simply closing our Patreon altogether or moving to a different platform. In the meantime, if you need to cancel your pledges – especially our $1 contributors – I assure you, no hard feelings whatsoever, and I’m not on Patreon’s side on this.

Oh, and in the meantime, please call your representatives in Congress to get them to not utterly destroy Net Neutrality, and comment on the FCC’s site at https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/search/filings?proceedings_name=17-108&sort=date_disseminated,DESC

EVERYTHING IS AWFUL HAPPY HOLIDAYS

(Okay but seriously remember that there is hope as long as we fight and that your voice matters.)

Les Filles cast their minds back to their childhoods and talk about the books, TV, and movies that made them the little geeks they are. Also, Ghostbusters. Happy things!
