Hey there!
Here is your first update focused on community interaction. It's mostly preparation for keeping users comfortable using the website, and features to expand on in the future. Still some exciting features that will immediately make the site feel much more complete!
Damn, that poll was closer than I expected it was going to be. Seems like community interaction just about edged it from further tag improvements, but it's obvious you guys really want the focus on these two subjects. For the next couple months it'll mostly be interactions, after that I'll go rig...
2025-05-17 18:37:50 +0000 UTC View PostThere's still a couple small things to fix and improve on the website, but what should be the next feature that gets focus in the next months?
All of these will eventually be implemented, it's just to see what you guys prefer to get attention first!

Hey guys, it's me. What the hell is this craziness?
You just keep spamming my mailbox! Every time a new error occurs, I get an email, and let me tell you I haven't been able to find my saved Ebay searche...
2025-04-13 14:04:02 +0000 UTC View PostQuick update that I wanted to bring on Patreon and over email, there have been some fixes to the Patreon connection the past few days which worked great for the things they fixed, however one addition is going a little haywire.
If you lose your tier for whatever reason on the site, you can ...
2025-03-25 16:50:49 +0000 UTC View PostQUICK UPDATE: and you already broke it. I'll get on top of why it's already broken, sit tight!
Yep, you're reading it right, the website is back online for you lovely patrons. That means that you do need to always be logged in at the moment, but at least you can upload and watch squeaky vid...
2025-03-23 16:55:47 +0000 UTC View PostSo, evidently, the site did not go live on the 19th.
I am currently at a convention (read: holiday) where on the way to the con, I found a critical bug that would not allow you to register an account with Patreon. Seems fairly important for the website.
It has to do with email verific...

Just a quick reminder!
Also is this error message too soon, or very on point?
2025-01-01 12:48:04 +0000 UTC View PostIt’s been a while since you guys have had a proper update, hasn’t it?
In this post I want to talk about what you guys can expect, what not to expect and when to expect it. After that, also some rambling.
Important note: payments will be back from the start...
2024-12-20 17:26:53 +0000 UTC View PostHello, squeakers and looners!
Taking a cue from recent events in our sphere, where other people try to impersonate us, we have an actual update for you: Things are actually progressing well for the relaunch of our site!
Everything looked very bleak in the past, but by now we got a devel...
As you might have noticed, the site is still offline, but payments went out. Pretty dumb mistake, and sorry about that. There's supposed to be a payment pause until the site is back up. All the monthly IV pro payments should be refunded. If anyone's forgotten and would li...
2024-10-16 11:03:24 +0000 UTC View PostUPDATE 19/01/25: We're coming back online for patrons on February 19th at the latest! Read our new post for more details. The post below is for archival purposes...
2023-12-11 10:54:30 +0000 UTC View PostOh yes, about a 140 of you.
Me? Well I've been living my own life for the past half year. It has been busy at my full-time job, which has exhausted me. That time seems to slowly come to a close though.
The new "from the ground up" version of InflateVids I keep talking about is slowly ...
2023-09-24 16:15:11 +0000 UTC View PostHey all! Bet you didn't expect an update just before the end of the month.
As some of you who have tried to contact me or paid attention to my presence might have noticed, I have been absent for most of March (and February too, to be honest). The biggest reason for this is that I've had one...
2023-03-31 09:47:41 +0000 UTC View PostHi all!
Thank you all so much for supporting InflateVids and covering costs for January. In that month some stuff got fixed too:
Hey lovely patrons, old and new!
Thank you guys so much for supporting the website and not getting me bankrupt. We still have some way to go for the community to fully support the website, but thanks to an incredible amount of new support, both here on Patreon and outside, it looks like Inf...
2023-01-21 12:02:36 +0000 UTC View PostFor starters: Happy New Year! I hope you've had a wonderful NYE and that the entire year will be good for you.
My new year so far has been turbulent, to say the least. Skipping a big thing in my private/family life, I have also just submitted a ticket to DigitalOcean for an extension on pas...
2023-01-02 20:31:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys! As a heads up, I'll start this post more happy then it will end. What is important to keep in mind is that I'll always be grateful to everyone who has currently or in the past ever given money to this project. You guys are the reason the website has made it to two years and has a chance...

Thanks for another month of patronage! Keeping up with the monthly updates, here is this month's.
The InflateVids 2.0 launch could have gone smoother, but currently it isn't too bad. Some fixes will be going out somewhere this week which includes the big video conversion fi...

Both the October update and the release of the new website. What a day.
Hey y'all, Rick here and hope you have all had a wonderful Halloween! Bonus points if it involved inflatables, balloons or something else squeaky!
Past month not much exciting has happened behind the scenes for In...
2022-11-01 16:45:35 +0000 UTC View PostTo start: this billing change won't affect current patrons. You will still be charged on the 1st of every month. Only new patrons will now be charged on the day they joined, which also means you wouldn't pay double if you pledged on the last day of the month. Patreon finally fixed this issue! Hoo...
2022-10-03 21:06:25 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone!
Seems like the new system did a big oopsie and wiped the status off of a lot of you Patrons. Obviously this isn't supposed to happen, but it sadly has.
Thankfully it is a pretty easy fix, but one that I can't do myself since it requires re-authenticating your Patreon acco...

To use the beta website you will always have to sign in with an account linked to Patreon and have an active patronage. If you haven't yet, you can link your Patreon and InflateVids accounts on https://tube.inflatev...

Hey everyone! Thanks for continuing your patronage.
Last month I have been working a little less but focussing on getting the beta website ready for launch to you patrons. That means getting it ready to run with the "production" database and adding a ...
2022-09-04 11:34:55 +0000 UTC View PostA lot has happened since the last update. My list of things to write is quite some lines long, so let's get into it.
Just to be clear, this stuff isn't live yet on the website! It'll be live on a patron exclusive beta website soon.

Over the past month I have experimented more with developing the website on multiple servers and been slowly rewriting all of the features you are already used to (dislike counter visibility, Patreon integration, etc.).
Hopefully som...
2022-07-10 20:04:21 +0000 UTC View PostFor starters: Hello many new patrons! Even though I did expect a couple people more to contribute to the Patreon campaign, I didn't expect this amount of support.

What a year it has been for what started as my little hobby project at the beginning of this year.
