Charter status gone.

I think we should change ‘charter member’ to ‘stars upon thars’ and ‘member’ to ‘none upon thars’ and maybe everyone could see how extraordinarily futile and stupid this entire argument is.

How difficult is it to give them the damn title and keep charging $15? And why would other charter members care? It’s like complaining that giving the name ‘marriage’ to civil unions cheapens their marriage. So they missed a deadline. Big fat hairy deal.

The way you people are carrying on you’d think you’d solved world hunger and someone else was stealing your thunder. It’s a title. Either make it the same for everyone paying regardless of amount or get used to this complaint because as long as there’s a distinction this is going to happen. Paying on time isn’t some higher ‘effort,’ and if you really think you’re just that little bit specialer than everyone else because a message board subscription didn’t slip your mind, then my god what a small minded petty person you must be.

I think it would be even cooler to allow the use of avatars, and the Charter Members would by default have a Star-Belly as the avatar (assuming that doesn’t run afoul of any infringements).

I wonder why my account hasn’t been culled by now under that system, then. I let my charter subscription lapse last year, then signed up later under the full price, yet my title never switched over.

Hmm. Weird. The system lists you as a Charter Member, with an expiration date of 7/31. That is strange and I don’t know why it did that but it does appear you caught a break there.

Did reminders not get sent out this year? It’s not a big deal, I’m not sure I would have renewed anyway, but I don’t remember getting an email in April that my Charter Membership was going to expire.

Am I the only one that thinks of this when I read this post?

Fuck! I was on the phone when I clicked that link and started laughing. :slight_smile: The guy on the phone must have been very confused.
