The Future Of Mintees (?)

Posted May 16th, 2020 by Cameron Latham

Are there any future plans for Mintees or is it kind of just donezo?

The Talk section is 80% bots talking to each other (which, to be fair, is a fascinating look into our future polo blank hawking overlords) and 20% folks trying to sell their unused designs.

Instagram's pretty much the only place for the merch design community nowadays, so it'd be cool to have another site to hang out on.

I'd personally love to help in any way I could and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Yes, you're not the only one, Cameron. I'm also willing!

Yeah, this used to be one of my fav sites to connect with other designers and communicate, sad to see the decline.
Would love to help and see it get busy and exciting again if there’s enough interest

What little ad revenue comes in basically covers the hosting cost of the site. Every once in a while we do our best to keep CAPTCHA technology up to date if we see a surge in spam.

Only admins are allowed to flat content and delete + mark as spam, because it's VERY permanent and irreversible, but perhaps I can talk to my team and see how much time it will take to make it where moderators can do that and we can add a couple mods to help it.

I don't know if Rob even comes here to look, so that would mean I, every few weeks, am the only one dealing w/ the spam.

We are new members here. We hope Mintees can always be the best platform to get to know fellow designers!
