Can anyone explain this to me regarding my membership

[2nd_Law]

I recently (well, admittedly a month ago) received this email:

Dear 2nd Law,

Your access to the paid subscription “Straight Dope Board Charter Membership” is about to expire.

To renew this subscription you must visit https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/payments.php

If you do not extend your subscription you will revert to Guest status. As a Guest you’ll be shown banner advertising and will lose some of the privileges of your current membership status.

All the best,
Straight Dope Message Board

I now see that I have “Member” status, not “Guest” status. Which is interesting, considering I was paid up for another year. Why did I lose my charter membership status???

Have you contacted any moderators about this?
