Whilst surfing today, my mind came to fruition (however painfully) that my SDMB would at some point expire, and I would have to renew my ‘Charter Membership’. In real words, will I be warned when my membership is about to expire, or do I have to keep track of this myself? The only reason I ask is that my job takes me to distant places on the globe beyond the reach of the SDMB. I really would hate to have to deal with either the cancellation or the renewall thing once I got back to the house. So, any thoughts?

We haven’t had this problem yet – and won’t for a while – but I would think you’ll probably get a little nag screen or two as you come up on it. 🙂 Tripler, if you’re not able to get to the SDMB again (like before), drop me an email. We’ll take care of it. You’ll be fine. your humble TubaDiva Administrator ---

Thanks **TubaDiva**! I was just curious. It was one of those idle Saturday afternoon brainfarts. I know you guys kick ass at supporting the boards, and I’m not that worried. Tripler Thanks again! ---

First you’ll get a notice. Then, if you fail to renew, two large persons — no neck, knuckles dragging on the ground as they walk – will pound on your door at 2 AM to remind you. ---

You mean those guys were from the SDMB? I should have invited them in for cocoa instead of hiding under the couch. ---

You know **C K** , I’m taking you halfway serious, knowing that Cecil himself does employ an illustrator known as _Slug Signorino_. I may be a scrapper myself, but I don’t want to know if our good artist would live up to his name. 😃 Tripler I knew there was a mob connection! I knew it!!
