Today, thanks to our 8 amazing patrons, we passed our first Patreon milestone ($100/month)! Please hop on the thread and express your gratitude to the patrons, as they have now helped us bring down the ads on the Trese Brothers forum. Each patron gives a little - what they can - but it adds up to be a lot. You're generous support is part of the mix that keeps Trese Brothers going, and for that, we thank you! Join us on Patreon and pledge a few dollars every month to support your loyal, hard-working, little-sleeping game developers! www.patreon.com/TreseBrothers |

I still see an add at the bottom-right of the screen display (just to the right of "More topics from this board"
Nonetheless, it's great that the patrons are so fantastic! With their support, world domination is one little step closer!
Couldn't find a pic of sock puppets trying to take over the world sorry.

Thank you Patrons. I know that ads are a necessary evil in the world, but they were never supposed to take over the internet were they? Thanks for fighting back. Just the other day at my job, I was telling some people about my intentions to purchase a CD for 8 dollars online. It was a good value. Three people all made gross arguments about how they would much rather steal than pay. Conversation turned to methods of piracy. I rebuked them. I mean they get paid to work. Shouldn't artists? They didn't get it. Hence ads are everywhere. You all see the connection don't ya? Thanks Patrons, hope to one day join you.

And thank you Patrons for cleaning the forum. Adless TB gives all the warm feels. Or maybe Kjartan burnt another bridge.... |

We had an absolutely unprecedented spike in traffic this month. Ad free forum is purchased in blocks of page views, and we exhausted the plan we purchased.
Ad-free funtimes should be restored tomorrow, once our page counter resets.

I'll fix that when it resets.
