Premium Changes (Feedback Thread)

The designation ‘patron’, means that the member pays monthly for the app.

Become a Patron!

Hello everyone Talking Sober now has a Patreon page. What’s Patreon? It’s a way for members, fans or followers of something to contribute to its growth and future. Those people then become known as “Patrons”, and Patrons get cool rewards in exchange. To start off, I’ve added three rewards: Access to the Patron-only category on the forum The “Patron” title that you can use on the forum when posting The Patron icon that you can overlay on your profile picture when posting Reme…

I pay monthly. I thought a patron was someone who has been on here for years. I’ve only been on here for about a month.

[SassyRocks]

Sadly no, tho that would be fun, wouldn’t it? It was the earlier designation prior to the new ‘premium’ designation for monthly sponsors.

And welcome!!

I paid the yearly one on the app store. I had previously done the $5/month one…
But I’m nothing special. Been here 9 months

[Sissychris39]

Thank you! I’m curious, what does the badge next to your name mean, and why half filled?

[Sissychris39]

I do the monthly fee, although I’m sure yearly pay is cheaper in the long run.

[Sissychris39]

I tried changing it to patron but it still says premium

[SassyRocks]

It means I am one of the moderators of the forum.

[Sissychris39]

Oh, cool!

[SassyRocks]

Premium is the new designation, given by the software.

[Sissychris39]

I’m sorry but I’m not following what you are saying.

[SassyRocks]

We were derailing the athiest thread, so I moved the conversation over here. This thread discusses the Premium designation. Hope that helps explain!

[Scorpn]

It doesn’t say patron anymore. Just premium

@SassyRocks wanna move this over too.

[Sissychris39]

I totally get it now! Thank you for the link. I just paid for the patron title

First I’ll say I very much appreciate this forum and feel comfortable here. It seems friendly and on a human scale (over the years I sometimes made use of another respectable forum that was large and well-organized, but maybe too large).

I’m primarily a desktop PC user. I have a smartphone but rarely use it for apps. I found this forum with a web search on August 7th.

Something I have appreciated is the lack of ads on the website. But now that I know there are related phone apps, I wonder why there aren’t links to the app store pages somewhere on the website.

Maybe a missed opportunity? (Or maybe I’m missing it?)

I mostly use the web version of the forum, both on my phone and on PC. The app is called Sober Time both on Apple and Google Play where you can pay for the premium version to have the ads removed and support the whole shabang. I use the app for the counter. But it has some other nice features.
