Hey everyone,
Happy new year! I can’t believe it’s already 2025, what in the world happened to 2024?!
Buffy and I have been busy behind the scenes making various small improvements to infrastructure and fighting the spam that invariably shows up every day, but I’m happy to share that the reporting feature has been working super well! So those of you that have been reporting spam: we appreciate you!!
Spammers have unfortunately continued to get more sophisticated and it’s an ongoing battle, so if you happen to see a captcha pop up here or there, that’s what’s going on. We’re doing our best to build things out in a way that will keep annoyance to a minimum, but do let us know if things seem broken or strange.
Alright, now for the real reason for this post — Buffy and I are currently sitting at a coffee shop brainstorming the 2025 Prosebox roadmap, and thought it would be fun to survey the community directly to get your input on what comes next. It’s also an opportunity to see how the community has evolved over time, as it’s somehow been almost six years since the last survey. We’re clearly overdue!
Here’s a link to that new survey:

All data we collect will be completely anonymous, so please speak your minds. Looking forward to reading each response out loud to Mochi.

I like to think that the Mochi photos tell the story of one of your survey readings aloud.
Mochi 1: This critique already seems sus.
Mochi 2: Not constructive. Skip! SKIP!
Mochi 3: Thanks.

BUG ISSUE:
This has never happened before- tried to save new entry and told "INVALID CAPTCHA" though no CAPTCHA prompt was ever given. Entry was not auto saved as New Entry. Took three attempts to save latest entry.
Buffy Park Row Fallout ⋅ January 24, 2025
Sorry about that and thanks for letting us know! Our spam defense got a bit too eager. We’ll make sure auto-save works better next time.
Park Row Fallout Buffy ⋅ January 24, 2025
Thanks for the message, Buffy! Always happy to alert to issues. I figured it was spam-defense and appreciate how hard you've been working to respond to that issue!
Pretend Mulling ⋅ January 22, 2025
Ayo, what's up with the "Invalid CAPTCHA" screen and no CAPTCHA prompt?
Buffy Pretend Mulling ⋅ January 24, 2025 (edited January 24, 2025)
Edited
Sorry about that! The new CAPTCHA is supposed to work behind the scenes, but there was a bug. It should be fixed now.

Thanks!!

Dawww, i love it when you post pictures of Moochie.
Ginger Snap ⋅ February 04, 2025
Hey Josh! I hope all's well! I wanted to let you know that spammers are leaving notes on several of my older entries. How do we stop this from happening? I'm blocking the user handles, for now, but it's like whacking at gnats!
Buffy Ginger Snap ⋅ February 15, 2025
Hey - I hear you, spam has been driving us insane too! We tried scaring them off, but apparently, that just made them more determined. 😩
We're working on some stuff behind the scenes to help tackle it and should have something to announce soon. Appreciate your patience!
Ginger Snap Buffy ⋅ February 16, 2025
Fantastic, thank you, Buffy!! The notes seemed to have slowed down a little, maybe? But I'm glad you're on it! They are not going crazy, so easy to block so far, but hopefully it's an easy fix for you! Appreciate you!!
