I'm very excited about this update, because... we've resolved the long standing cache problem!! (e.g, the issue w/ new game urls not updating or newly approved games blinking in and out of existence, etc). Additionally, you should find the site a good bit faster. A big huge Moby-sized thanks to Brian Hirt for his help.
A few other things:
- Added a page for Patrons, which will be updated with the supporters as soon as we get their info
- As a special thanks to early supporters, the first 100 Patrons will be forever immortalized as a Founding Patron
- Tweaked the Reward tiers w/ thanks to your feedback; Now gold star and ad removal are at the $5 tier. $25 now includes a thank you in the Weekly Whale and a link to your website or twitter account. Removed the $50 and $100 tiers, so there's a clearer distinction between who the tiers are aimed at (users vs companies - though anyone can choose any tier)
- If there's a reward we're missing that you would find compelling, please let us know!
- Added a handful more quotes to the footer from community suggestions

I just wanted to send off a compliment to the speed improvements, but boy it is unbearable slow right now.

A handful indeed, all from the more popular/recognizable titles suggested. It is not a Bad Thing to try to stand out from the crowd a tiny bit, even in the little things.
Sure, at the end of the day the choice of a little quote in the footer doesn't matter one bit, but the spirit/personality of the site ultimately do.
Not to be a Negative Nelly, mind you... the speed improvements, caching fix, etc. are definitely noticed and appreciated.
