Are you going to? I have, even though I could afford the higher price, I’m very frugal. So, I’ll keep my membership up to date. ---

Man, I’m glad you mentioned this - for some reason, I had in my head that this was due in June… Good to go now! Thanks. 😃 ---

Thanks for the reminder – done, and I need to remind my daughter to renew, too! ---

I thought by now they’d be paying me. In appreciation for all my fine posts. Oh well, maybe they’re waiting to surprise me on my tenth anniversary. ---

Done. I would have spaced it if not for this OP. Can we get reminder emails? Also, can we get one of those one-touch sign-ups like Amazon has? WooHOO! Spring has sprung, the Dope has ris. I wonder where them flowers is! ---

I did a few days ago. There’s a sticky reminder at the top of this forum. 😉 ---

Yes… I’m irrationally attached to the “Charter” bit. One year I’ll slip and forget until too late and it’ll be all over. ---

I saw a thread a while back reminding me we were closing in on that time of year. Credit card happened to be handy from a mad candle buying spree and bam! It was done 🙂 ---

Yep, thanks for the reminder. I know one year I’m going to miss it and lose my Charter Member status, but until then I’m part of an increasingly more exclusive clique. Feels good, and saves me a few bucks a year, too. I can’t believe I’ve been here for 7 years. ---

I renewed a week or two ago. Although I can’t post as often as I’d like anymore, the price is small and too good a deal to pass up. ---

Yep - renewed a week or so ago when I noticed an ATMB thread asking about renewing, even before the official “RENEW NOW YOU SLACKERS” thread got posted. So, for yet another year, I get to dance around at yell at Typo Knig that “I’m a Charter Member and youuuu arennnnnnnn’t neener neener neener”. 😛 ---

Not yet, want to see if they’ll offer a two year or longer membership. But, yes, I will. ---

I will on May 1st. That will put me at 2 years paid. I like to plan ahead! ---

Yes, that time of year has come again. It is hard to believe another year has gone by. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/charter-members-have-you-renewed-yet/399177.md?page=2)
