No, it hasn't. When this organization did the first official drive for money, you promised all the members an account in the Fanfic Archive *before* all others. (Meaning we will not be the only ones with accounts, but we would get them sooner.) I'm not the only one who remembers that.
Which now you happily seem to ignore. And while I get that this might be complicated, you could still simply send out an email to the members and invite them first to the queue or whatever. Obviously you don't even try.
Anyway, I still stand behind the cause of OTW, but if this is how it goes, you completely lost my trust. Because obviously your promises don't mean squat.

I honestly wouldn’t be too concerned about being too far down on the list!//
