Permaculture Inner-circle Elite (PIE)

I added three new videos to the PIE private forum:

  - presentation by Helen Atthowe

  - the "eco poser" video by Chad Sentman

  - the Justin Rhodes bonus video

Personally, I didn't like it, but that was because (1) the link to the rest of the thread was small and kind of hard to locate, and (2) I ended up on the "full screen" mode when navigating from page 4 to page 1. I didn't want to have to load two pages just to get to page 1 of the thread.

Perhaps, if a person clicks on "page 1" they get taken to the first page of the thread. If they click on the title, they get taken to the full-page view, and the full page view has a nice, easy-to-locate link to the rest of the thread?

Devaka and I just had a really long email exchange about your suggestions.  Some changes will be made!

The price for pie is currently:

$3 for a single slice

$2.50 per slice for a whole pie (12 slices)

$0.69 per slice for 12 pies ($100 total)

The price for 12 pies will go up in a couple of days to $2.08 per slice ($300 total)

I like the new buy pie picture

I just saw this, and had forgotten about that video.

How's the reaction been? I'm sorry, I feel like I dropped the ball, but that whole project took a serious backseat after we got land. I do intend to eventually continue unless someone else beats me to it.

I think the reception has been all positive.  Not huge raves - but generally positive.  

I didn't want to make the video public without your permission and you never responded, so I started giving it away with patreon and then pie!


Hey everybody!  If you like Chad's video, click on the thumbs up for his post (the post just before this post)!

I really enjoyed Chad's video.  He has a lovely voice.  

For a very long time the system was configured so that people would get a free piece of PIE every 20 apples.   The algorithm is being changed so that people will get a piece of PIE after 20 apples, but not every 20 apples.

Do you mean they get a slice of PIE only when they have (their first) 20 apples? So I won't get free PIE anymore? Or isn't that what you mean?

When a person gets to 20 apples, they get a slice of free pie.  

When a person gets to 40 apples, or 60 apples or 80 apples, no more free pie.  

Of course, whenever somebody gives you pie, you get pie.  

This is all part of the staff trying to deal with stuff in the cider press.  This is one of the strategies to make it so that there are fewer posts to the cider press - so less staff time gets sucked into the cider press.

Thank you. Yes, you're right, somebody can give PIE.
I don't know what was in the cider press, I don't visit that often.
