Do we still get "founder" Status?

I remember seeing back in the April’s posting that we who ordered before Oct 25, 2015 would get “founder” status. “•We’ll recognize you as a Glowforge Founder in your profile forever.”. Is that still the case? Do we know when that will be applied?

And if you’re going bald like me, the wig would be an added bonus!

After seeing @3d_g33k’s post my gut reaction was to go and photoshop everyone’s avatar overtop all the faces…but then I realized no, wait, I seriously do not have the time for that :joy: :joy: :joy: :joy:

Well, I may not have managed the avatar-face-replacements, but how 'bout this? :wink:

Hi @dan (or anyone else who knows), I ordered by GF in October of 2016. Does this also entitle me to founder status? Thanks!

Anyone who ordered during the crowdfunding time frame (ending Oct 26th 2015 - I think) is in the founders group.

Thank you. I guess I wonder which of the benefits I get due to the delays, as I also pre-ordered, and also received the note in December that stated:

  • We’re going to give you ever design from the video that’s in the catalog, for free
  • $50 of free inventables products
  • Gift certificate that will increase $20 for each month you have to wait past your scheduled delivery of either December or March (so this one clearly included me)
  • Of course, you also get everything else we’ve rewarded you with. That’s the $150 Proofgrade materials pack, the $50 design gift certificate, Founder status, 10% discount on materials, and 10% discount on designs

So perhaps it’s just the last bullet that’s in question? I guess I wasn’t already awarded with those things? Of course I’m not saying I should get the same reward levels as those of you who have been waiting so much longer than I will have, but mine will also be a year wait by the time I receive it, nearly 2.5x the delivery date I was expecting. I’m not complaining, I’m excited, and just trying to understand. I think I had assumed I get that last bullet, but I am thinking I misunderstood.

Actually I believe the cutoff date is considerably later than that but we need @dan to verify.

Yeah, I was under the impression that the cutoff was relatively recent (a few months ago, perhaps).
