Because it would be limp?
Haha! I forgot all about that incident!
Pow! Zinger. I’m a little hurt!
Nowhere did I bring size into it.
I can help narrow it down- it wasn’t me.
Well thanks for nothing! (literally)
1 down… several thousand to go.
ETA: Does this happen regularly around here? People secretly buying memberships for other posters? It’s not like I’ve even made any friends around here… that I know of.
I don’t think the secret thing is very common, but it happens occasionally- here’s a thread on gift subscriptions from 2010-2011, and here’s one from 2009-2010.
Wasn’t me either.
Now you’re 2 down.
I was saying something a little different: it changes the way the poster’s status is listed, so I speculated that they get moved into a different usergroup. (I’m not sure that’s the case.) Either way, it does not mean you actually get a membership. For that, you have to buy a subscription or someone has to buy it for you. Someone bought drewtwo99 a subscription. We don’t know who. Or whom.
Out of all the difficult to answer questions that the Dope has figured out over the years, surely we should be able to figure this one out.
I’m still wondering how I renewed on 10/13/2012 without my own knowledge. Is it possible I set it to be recurring somehow?
I suppose I should check my credit card statement…
The plot thickens!!

Time to send this head-scratcher of a question on up to Cecil Himself.
[sub]Otherwise, Marilyn vos Smartypants might come up with the answer first, and nobody here wants THAT to happen![/sub]
[Hercule Poroit] Ladies and gentleman, I have asked you all here to make an announcement regarding the mysterious subscription of our dear friend drewtwo99.
SOMEONE IN THIS ROOM IS A SUBSCRIPTION GIVER! [eyes dart from poster to poster looking for a sign of guilt] [/Poroit]
Well, it was worth a shot.
Suddenly the room goes dark, and when the lights come back on, another poster has become a Member
EEEEEEEEEEK!!!
There’s not much else to be said. We don’t have access to subscription information, so unless someone volunteers that they paid for your subscription, you’ll just have to keep wondering.
Not through us, we do not have that function in the current subscription system.
It was Colonel Mustard in the dining room with a candlestick.
I think you mean “thread”. 
Methinks drew has a secret admirer.
