I wandered off for a while, but to the best of my knowledge my subscription has always been kept current. Is there another reason it might have disappeared? It’s been a few months since I posted.
Records indicate your subscription expired 5-21-2009 and thus is not a current Charter Member subscription. To keep Charter Membership it must be kept in force and not allowed to expire; once expired it cannot be renewed. I’m so sorry.
What? NOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooo…<deep breath>oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :(:(:(:(
Is falling head-first down a flight of stairs a reasonable excuse? I never saw a notice
Pardon me while I go mourn
I hate to add heartache to misery, but the notice is in your user CP.
Yeah, like I said… I just missed the whole thing. I really did fall head-first down a flight of stairs. Heartache and misery indeed
Wow, that sucks!
However, not trying to be Mary Sunshine here, but look at it this way: headfirst down a flight of stairs and the worst thing you lost was your Charter Member status? Could have been a hell of a lot worse!
Hope you’re feeling better! 
(from the fall, I mean).
Word 
I really should by all rights legitimately have broken my neck. As it was, I escaped with a couple cracked vertebrae, and an effed-up pelvis. FSM absolutely graced me with a brush of his noodly appendage on that one.
I don’t mind the difference in membership fees, but too bad they won’t let us pay a penalty and reinstate the tag status. I’d happily pay an extra $25 or whatever to get my tag back, meaningless as it is. I liked it.
Now you’re one of us!
A return to the fold of the Teeming Millions!
