News, Announcements, & Dev Log
Greetings Fanlings,
First off, I want to apologize for taking so long to write this response. I owe you all an explanation and everyone has been waiting patiently for me to address these situations directly.
This post took a lot longer than expected. I needed to step back, to breathe, to organise my thoughts, and prepare this statement without rushing. I’ve been working on compiling everything here over the past month so that it would address concerns by staff and users in a clear and holistic way. I’m also a chronically ill person whose conditions are worsened by stress, making things take longer than planned. Additionally, I wanted to fulfill my promises to Goatlings players and not fall behind on Monster Masquerade or other scheduled updates.
In this post I will address:
- Concerns about site income
- Concerns brought up by former staff
- Concerns about artist payment
- Harassment of staff and users
- Incoming admins
Concerns about site revenue:
Goatlings started off as a passion project in the early 2000s and has always been a small, community focused website run by myself and staff. It has never operated like a large company and I plan to continue running it independently instead of selling to a company or individual person.
From the outside, fundraisers, donation goals, and Diamond Dust sales can make it look like Goatlings brings in a lot of consistent revenue. The reality is more complicated because the income fluctuates a lot each month.
Goatlings has recurring costs like hosting, database and server services, and software subscriptions that are about $100 per month. On average, the site brings in around $5,000 per month, but that can change a lot depending on the season. I try to save during high income periods like Monster Masquerade to prepare for low income periods so that staff can be paid and the site can continue running.
All site revenue is strictly used for site operational costs, paying staff, and my basic living expenses. It is not used for unrelated spendings or personal luxury purchases. I have never taken anything out of the Tip-A-Mod fundraisers. Proceeds from special fundraisers go directly to the respective charities. Again, site income fluctuates throughout the year, and the long term boycotts have also contributed to this variability.
Earlier this year, I shared a simplified pie chart breaking down how site income was used in 2024. While it showed the broad categories of expenses at the time, it didn’t represent the month to month changes that happen throughout a year. I included more personal details than was needed in an attempt to try and be transparent to explain how site income supported me, but it caused confusion and frankly, I overshared. Since the pie chart was posted, site income and site costs have changed, so one graph isn’t the most accurate way to show how things work now. I hope this section provides a clearer picture of how Goatlings’ finances currently work.
Around the same time as the pie chart, we had plans to open a dedicated Q&A forum with a Goatling design named Astoria. This project was paused to prioritize other regularly scheduled content and other updates. Astoria will be added to the site early 2026, either as a Princess Gift or in the Diamond Dust shop. Once admins are settled into their new roles, they will revisit the possibility of having a Q&A forum. This is still in the early planning stages, but I want to reassure everyone that Astoria and the Q&A feature wasn’t forgotten.
In the past few weeks, I have been able to pay staff artists before the start of their work thanks to the support on the unretired box fundraisers. While retired items were meant to stay retired, the decision to bring them back was due to three reasons: Players wanted reruns in order to have access to older scarce items, we could test re-releases in small batches instead of all at once, and it would potentially bring more revenue during low income months. We are not sure if the retired items will have another rerun after the current rotation is completed.
The incoming admins will help make sure that the site finances are better organized. They also have some ideas about how to reformat support goals to improve overall transparency. (Example: to have a fundraiser specifically for code updates, a fundraiser specifically for site fees, and so on). These plans aren’t fully decided yet, so things are still subject to change.
Concerns brought by former staff:
I want to apologize to the Goatlings staff members who recently stepped down. This includes r00p, BeautyBurnsGold, PrettySkitty, Likefiftychai, and Lilypadmeulin. I really let them down, and I’m sorry for how things happened. As of posting this statement, each of them have received written letters addressing their concerns and apologizing directly. They have also each received a small gesture of thanks via their Kofi links. I know this doesn’t fix every issue, but I wanted to make sure their work and contributions were acknowledged.
Over time, I think the line between friendship and professional responsibility became blurred. Because staff and I were close, I got comfortable relying on them because they volunteered their time and passion. I let workloads grow way past what was reasonable, and I didn't properly provide the support or structure they deserved. This was my responsibility, and I didn’t take care of things like a site owner should have. Goatlings became more demanding and I wasn’t prepared to manage it. That hurt the people who were putting everything into supporting this site and community.
Good intentions are meaningless without consistent follow through. And previous staff brought their concerns, projects, user feedback, and ideas to help the site move forward, but I either responded slowly or just didn’t reply at all. That left site staff without direction and it left them feeling unheard and undervalued. It was unfair and unprofessional, and I’m sorry it came to this point.
Moving forward, I am going to add proper systems, better workflows, and make sure that no future staff member is asked to carry so much alone. Admins will act as an extra level of padding to make sure all Goatlings staff and users are properly taken care of. I’ll talk more about admins in a later section.
To each former member of staff: thank you for your work, your care, your patience, and your time. Goatlings is better because of you, and I am grateful for everything you have done.
To current staff members: thank you for stepping in and keeping Goatlings moving forward. You are putting your trust in me and you are giving me the chance to try and fix things. I am deeply committed to being a better site owner and showing change.
Concerns about artist payment:
Art for Goatlings started as freelance or contract work, but I realize now that we outgrew this system a long time ago. I thought that offering payment per piece would allow artists more freedom and flexibility when picking up work. Art could be evenly distributed across art staff and reduce burnout. We never discussed consistent wages because I wanted to let artists decide how much work and time they put into a piece. That was the logic behind ranges for items or Appearance Dolls. If something took longer to draw or had more details, the artist could increase the value and charge more.
Artists were able to choose their payment type (real currency paid via PayPal, Sugar Stars, or Diamond Dust). I never meant to pressure any staff members into picking Sugar Stars or Diamond Dust over real currency, but I realize that venting about the site’s financial state caused former staff to feel obligated to accept Sugar Stars or Diamond Dust instead. For this, I am very sorry.
r00p brought up concerns about artist pay and how they compared to professional rates. From the beginning of Goatlings, I have been upfront with artists about what the site can afford to pay. Artists have always been able to accept or decline work with full knowledge of those rates. An artist would accumulate a “tab” over time and can cash out whenever they wanted. Artists assigned a monetary value to their own work, and I did not want to micromanage that process and create additional pressure. Missing r00p’s tab should have never happened, and was a serious failure on my part that revealed a major problem with how payments were handled for Goatlings artists. I am sorry that it took so long to pay back. r00p’s tab is now paid in full, thanks to the very generous support of the Goatlings community.
Also, all artist tabs have been paid in full as of the publication of this statement. Current staff helping during Monster Masquerade also received a bonus for making sure that the event progressed smoothly and on time.
Moving forward, the admins will be keeping a detailed list to track artist work done for Goatlings. It will include the artist, value of items, the total paid value, pay date, and other details. This will ensure that no artist will ever have an unpaid tab ever again. We will also develop on r00p’s suggestion and conduct monthly audits with art staff to ensure consistency and open communication. r00p also mentioned the idea of extra payment in Sugar Stars or Diamond Dust if a retired set is rereleased. This is a great idea, and we will start offering a bonus in Diamond Dust to the staff artists who redrew a set when it gets temporarily unretired for support donations. This means that the staff member will receive a bonus per set that comes back into circulation when the support fundraisers get updated. This is being rolled out soon for sets that were already unretired.
Even without meaning to, the previous payment system placed a huge emotional burden on artists to advocate for their own compensation. To help remove that barrier, admins will act as an additional communication and support layer so that compensation does not rely on private negotiations with me. I understand the importance of clear and consistent compensation policies, and I’m committed to making sure things improve for all members of staff. I never wanted any artist to feel undervalued, and I am sincerely sorry that anyone did. Goatlings would not exist without the artists who dedicate their time to making Appearance Dolls and items real. I am forever grateful to every artist who has contributed their time, talent, and creativity to the site.
Harassment of Staff and Users
I also want to acknowledge something that has affected many people in our community.
Over the past years, former staff, current staff, and even regular players have experienced varying levels of harassment, targeting, and personal attacks on and off site. This includes cyber-bullying, rumor spreading, doxxing, intimidation, and ban evasions.
To be clear: this is not acceptable, and no one should have to feel unsafe or unwelcome in a community that is meant to be creative and kind to everyone. It has taken a real emotional toll on staff who dedicated their time to keep Goatlings running, and on regular players who were simply trying to enjoy the site.
Additionally, please respect everyone’s privacy. Do not doxx, share, or draw attention to anyone’s personal information. This includes using any off site information to harass Goatling staff or members. Do not evade bans or blocks to contact users. Do not use disagreements or different opinions as grounds to insult, dogpile, or intimidate others.
Goatlings will continue to follow the existing rules against harassment. No matter how frustrated someone may be, attacking other players or staff is not the right thing to do. If you are being harassed, feel unsafe, or see behavior that violates Goatlings Terms of Service, please reach out to staff for help.
Incoming admins and new staff hires
I know a lot of people have been really concerned about the addition of admins. There will be a news post coming that formally introduces the four new admins that will join Goatlings. In total, there will be five admins (this includes myself) running the site. This structure will help make a healthier workflow, improve turnaround time, and increase communication lines between staff and players.
The incoming admins will begin taking on:
- Regularly scheduled content and updates
- Everyday support and communication for staff and players
- Artist contracts and schedules
- Timely payment for site staff, Discord staff, and artists
- Answering support tickets
- Event hosting
- Coding updates
Once the admins are comfortable in their new roles, I will slowly step back from the public eye to focus more on supporting them from behind the scenes. This will also give me the opportunity to take care of my mental and physical health while remaining available to staff. The admins are looking forward to meeting everyone!
As a team, the five of us are committed to:
- Clearer artist agreements and better pay
- Improved support and organization for all members of staff
- Updates to site events and daily operations
- Increased stability and consistency over time
Regarding the payment of admins: new admins will receive a monthly payment and have a set number of work hours with specific delegated tasks. This will allow the admin team to support staff, review projects, and help artists without becoming overwhelmed. A news post introducing admins will be coming in the next few weeks.
Also, as the Goatlings staff team grows and everyone’s roles become more defined, some of the current staff members may transition to different positions that better fit their workload. This might mean that additional Discord moderators are needed in the future, so we will make such announcements ahead of time with clear application details.
Conclusion
Thank you everyone for your patience and for reading this statement. I know that it will take time for changes to make a difference and be seen. I hope that I can regain trust by showing steady work and better communication with future updates.
Comments will be open on this News Post so everyone can share their thoughts. While staff might not be able to respond to every question or comment, we will read all feedback. Please make sure to keep the conversation respectful and constructive.
And again, to our staff, past and present, thank you. And to everyone in the Goatlings community, thank you for being here and for caring about the site. Goatlings wouldn’t be here without all of you.
