BackerClub Forums

Hey guys, I've seen a number of comments in the forums in the past few weeks about the fact that BackerClub makes money. To be honest, I've been greatly surprised by these comments and the implied accusation that this is somehow wrong. Here is my short answer: yes, BackerClub makes money...as does j...

OH! I forgot one super-important piece of info. We aren't going to just select 3 Secret Projects, but rather 1 Secret Project everyday!

Check it out and let us know what you think. :D We'd love to hear your feedback about this idea compared to the past things we've done with the Lounges. Do you like this more? Less? What other ideas do y...
