People can be such...well, not going to say it in polite company. Thanks a ton for your work, and if you do decide to go the patreon route, I would be glad to kick in.
I third that. This site has been useful for me. And the contributions keep getting more and more interesting.
Thank you sooooo much for what you do! This is a truly amazing website, and if I could contribute financially to it, I would!
So it seems Altopedia.org now links directly to the ALTTO homepage. Hope the users of this place still find their way here.
I'm very grateful for all your hard work, Jake. Better to have total control moving forward anyway!
