Before we switched to the New Board*, it was possible (and encouraged) to pay an annual subscription amount to the Board. I don’t think it came with any special privileges, but I like to support a thing that I use every day and value as much as I do The Dope… so has the subscription function been reinstated?

The subject came up a few times when we first switched, but it was always “we’re getting to that but haven’t gotten there yet.” Are we there yet?

I guess we could donate to Chicago Public Media and designate the contribution to the Straight Dope Message Board… but, on second thought, maybe it’s best to keep a low profile, below the radar, in the bushes (and other appropriate metaphors…), so to speak. Probably nothing good would come from drawing attention to ourselves.
