I have you all beat, I’m subbed until 05-20-2018.  
I keep thinking to myself, hm, maybe I should just add more time on this, is my subscription about to run out? Ah, no harm.

That, and there was some sort of snafu with my charter membership getting crossed with a regular membership, so I just subbed again. Whee!

I just checked mine. 5/21/2018. Not that it’s a competition or anything.

I always fear losing my Charter so I kept adding time when I had good paychecks and the bills were paid. I’ll probably add a couple more years sometime next year.

Am I sensing a potential profit center for the SDMB here? Right below your _Join Date_, they could show your _Paid Through_ date. [del]Pissing matches[/del] Friendly competition would be literally money in the bank.
