I think all the Charter members have roughly the same subscription date. Just a reminder that it’s likely coming up soon - I checked my User CP and it’s coming up in a few weeks. ---

Last year I took the 2 year option, so I’ve another year to go. I strongly recommend that route. Thanks for the reminder. ---

Behold the specter of one doomed to wander the board forever charterless through missing the subscription date! Take heed! You will be visited by three Spirits … wait, that’s a different story. ---

With the SDMB down for a couple of days, will management extend our subscription by 24/48 hours? They did this in the past with similar outages. It doesn’t matter to me one way or the other. I’m just asking cuz somebody has to ask! 🙂 ---

I thought I always re-upped for two years, but mine is due this year; not sure how I got out of sync. ---

Great Og, I just re-upped. Now I’m going to have to put up with this place for another two years. Why do I do this to myself? ---

Thanks for the reminder. A few years ago I forgot and had to beg to get my Charter Membership back after being late for a half day. It worked then, but I think they won’t let you do that anymore. ---

Do we get an email notification when it’s due? I don’t even remember, as I think I bought a multi-year subscription last time. Mine doesn’t expire until July, so hopefully I’ll remember then to re-up. ---

Mine doesn’t expire until July, so hopefully I’ll remember then to re-up. Yeah, but I think it’s on pretty short notice, like maybe the day before.
