Spring Inksgiving - Support Program

[silenthisper]

Hi everyone,

Haven here. I have a question in terms of the Support Program. According to what I know so far, you need 250 subscribers to activate the support program (I am currently at 158 subscribers and have already activated the ad revenue option). Having said that, I notice there are quite a few creators with less than 250 subscribers who still have the support program? I heard from people previously that there have been options by the management team of tapas that they could open during Inksgiving. Does that still exist as an option because I plan to join if it does?

If anyone knows in terms of how that works, let me know. I want to start preparing if possible cause I think the Spring Inksgiving is at the end of May (correct me if I am wrong, I don't know the specific date)

if I remember correctly, you have to contact tapas through their discord around the inksgiving time

[silenthisper]

....huh? could you maybe tell me more about this perhaps?

I've heard that there's been some people saying you could email michaelson@tapasmedia.com for it as well, dunno if that's true or not?

[BlairFujin]

sorry, got the ad unlocked for subscribers milestone, so I never really had to look too closely how to special inksgiving unlock works '^^ just remember that it folks were told to do it through discord recently

Hey! In the past few years, you could get the support activated shortly before Inksgiving in November. I'm not sure if they'll allow you to get it activated outside of that timeframe. But once they offer to activate it again, they'll announce it on their discord server!

[joannekwan]

Yes, during Inksgiving, staff will open a channel in the discord for creators to apply by linking their profile URL. Then staff will review your account to make sure you're not a bot and then unlock it for you.

I actually got the ad unlocked one as well, but it hasn't done much for me . That's why I am looking for this whole inksgiving support program and all, it could probably helped a bit?

but thank you tho, that helps quite a bit

[silenthisper]

Ohh- ...yeah, I better start paying attention to the whole thing then, been really busy on my end (assuming they do have a spring inksgiving... and does the same, right?). So I appreciate it!

[silenthisper]

Thank you for letting me know, this helps a lot! Do they have any requirements in terms of approving creators tho?

[joannekwan]

Only requirement is that you aren't complicit in any activity that is against TOS, no fan works either.

[silenthisper]

oh then I am definitely fine. Thank you, appreciate it

[RainbowCat]

I don't think there's a spring Inksgiving At least I didn't notice one in the past years. It's always been around Thanksgiving.

[silenthisper]

I dunno, I heard about it at least back in 2019. So we will have to see I guess (worse case, lemma do it in novemeber).

[joannekwan]

Years ago Tapas had inksgiving both during spring and fall. But since the last few years, they've consolidated it to fall to coincide with American Thanksgiving.

[silenthisper]

aww, okay. Either works honestly, this may give me more time to gather more things prepare in general
