Key numbers:- Adsense has been up about $1K/mo the last several weeks from the low in May, but no ongoing upward trend- recurring Paypal + Stripe are up about $2K/mo from where they were before last month's announcement- Amazon, Carbon both basically steady where they were before- Supporters also made several thousand dollars in one-time contributions since the announcement- We're scaling back benefits compensation to reduce our monthly cost there by about $2K/moWhat that adds up to: we're not out of the woods, but we're closer to steady shape than we were at the start of July. $3K/mo in improved revenue has cut some of the gap immediately; reduced costs from the benefits will cut that by another $2K/mo when the new benefit year starts soon.That leaves us still looking at ~$2K/mo short of the baseline minimum I talked about in the last post, which we need to continue to work to close, and which long-term I'd like us to move significantly past to start building up cash again. But it's a much less yawning gap and I really appreciate the significant role that renewed and new member contributions have played in that. Our burn rate is lower, so we have more time to work on this than we had, more time to try and build revenue instead of making further cuts. The additional one-time contributions have bought us extra time as well.We'll have a scheduled financial update around October 15; I mentioned in the previous post aiming to do those quarterly, that'd be the first of those.Community funding continues to be the most immediate path to helping close the funding gap; if you're able to help out with a new or increased recurring subscription, the funding page is here . Thank you, everyone who has been able and willing to help. We've added funding prompts to the front page of various subsites; we'll be doing more to highlight this need across the site in the near future.There's a lot going on on the site, and a bunch of ongoing mod work on a bunch of non-revenue fronts as well. But I want to make this kind of snapshot easier to produce regularly and not be a big production, so I'm going to keep this post short and simple, and ask that folks keep whatever conversation is needed in here to just productive questions/suggestions about finance stuff and save other discussion for other threads. Thanks, everybody.
