I must have missed something. Are subscriptions no longer half off for Charter Members? Are regular subscriptions now 30 bucks and 14.95 _is_ half off? I just noticed in the User CP that renewing an annual membership will cost me 14.95. What gives?

Hmmm… now I notice that there is no “Charter Member” under my name. Somthing is definitely messed up. Is there a server issue or something? I’ve never let a subscription lapse.

Nevermind. Now that I realize my member status is messed up, I see this is an issue already being addressed.

Interesting… I believe I’m still a Charter Member, and the price for me says $14.95.

Same here, but I’m sure it’s a temporary glitch.
