Hello Readers! To celebrate the recession of the floodwaters in his apartment, Konlet decided to host a one-day BYOND membership giveaway yesterday, along with a pledge to match donations made during that day. It looks like 39 memberships were purchased and 9 donations were matched, meaning that Konlet donated over $600 to BYOND, also putting him within the top 10 highest all-time BYOND benefactors!
