@satori They're notoriously, even infamously, slow at responding. I know many artists that don't even get approved for half a year or more with no response. It seems that auto-renewal isn't working on SubStar but as someone already supporting I can at least keep renewing there while it works, but should the need arise I'll try out boosty.
Is it possible to get the badge as a current SubStar supporter? Would username there suffice if so?
