December points bonus
Hello, all! It's December, and that means two things: only a few more weeks before we show 2022 the door, and (as I announced last month) it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.
For the month of December, all orders in the Shop of points and paid time (whether for you or as a gift) will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.
This bonus only applies to orders of paid time and points: rename tokens and bonus icon slots don't receive bonuses. If you buy paid time for a friend, the bonus points will be sent to you, not to them.
The order must be completed in the month of December. IMPORTANT: "the month of December" is defined by server time (which is in UTC), not by your local time zone. So, for instance, if you're in EST, the promo ends on December 31 at 7PM your time. Every year a few people think that they have more time to make an order than they do, so if you want to take advantage of the promo, it's a good idea to do it before the last day.
This is our annual way of saying "thank you" to everyone who supports us enough to keep this wild ride lurching along. This year, DW turned 13, which means it now would be old enough to have its own account on the site without parental permission. (I probably wouldn't have given permission if it asked -- I know what we get up to around here -- but go ask your father.) That makes 13 years of doing exactly what everyone confidently predicted would fail immediately: providing you all with a stable, solid online home that doesn't show you advertising, doesn't sell your data, and doesn't have venture capital or outside investment to repay. We gambled that there were enough of you who wanted an online home run by people you could predict (and not mercurial billionaires trying to mug every passerby for $8) and were willing to support us keeping it running, and that gamble has paid off in spades.
So thank you to each and every one of you who has helped to keep this place alive long enough to reach its teenagerhood, and here's to many more. We couldn't do it without you, and we're so glad you came along for the ride. Mark and I wish each and every one of you happy holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and may 2023 be kind to every one of you.
