So if I pay you $30 (that’s twice, count em’ twice) the amount of my membership, and pay for like five years worth - could I be a Charter? I’m happy to bribe whomever necessary for that coveted title!!! ---

Once again this is why it’s really important for Charter Members to resubscribe – if they wish to keep Charter Membership, anyway – **once lost Charter Membership cannot be regained.** If bragging rights are meaningful to you, stay subscribed. For most of our Charter Members their current subscriptions expire on April 29, so please resubscribe before Bad Things Happen.
