IMPORTANT CHANGE:
A lot of work AND thinking has been done this end.
I do hope that not many of you wish to see me dead [as in "dead person" who forgot to eat and sleep] nor dead GAP [as in the admin had no time left for business but to process payouts]. The following is to aide both to stay alive:

1. Effective immediately, in order to receive payouts, your remaining active upgrades will need to add up to AT LEAST 45% of your pending payout.
for example:
your pending payout is $378
your remaining upgrades will need to add up to AT LEAST $$170.10

2. 3rd upgrade option is added - to help you ease into the change and spread yourselves a little.

PLEASE NOTE: a "more-or-less" approach will be adopted for the next few payout runs (so if your remaining upgrades are around the 45% mark, you'll be fine). However, if you have been doing the $1 thing while awaiting a $1260 payout, you'll need to change your ways, I'm afraid.

We've got a good thing going here and I trust you realise this. I am a rather dedicated person and, like it or not, there must be something right I've been doing for the past few years to keep me still around and not burning of shame.

Kind regards to all
Trish
