Yep. I figure I’ve had sammiches what cost more so it’s no biggie. Besides, I’m one of the Cool Kids. 😃

Yep. Re-upped myself, the wife, and several other people who suffering from temporary pecuniary strangulation.

I hope you’ll reconsider. You’ll be missed in several venues, not the least of which are those involving sports discussion.

I re-upped, although it does mean I have to hold off buying that 60" plasma screen TV for another year.

Since I wrote about…30? Staff Reports, I’m probably re-upped until about 2032.

I did yesterday. This place is a nice diversion and definitely NOT a Romper-Room for immature idiots like so many other boards.

Yep. 7.50 / 365 days = .02/day.

I figure I can put in my $.02 a day for this place! 😃

I reupped a week ago - and I had to spend an hour figuring out where I’d lost my wallet to do it. They’ll have to do more than that to get me off this board. 😉

Yeah. I don’t post much anymore, but this place has been such a big part of my daily routine that I’d feel weird if I could no longer participate.

I just re-upped. It was a close call. The dire predictions that started when PtP was announced seem to be coming true. Too many threads are the same few posters going through the same discussions. Not enough new blood. Most guests and new members seem to be socks or trolls. I glance at GD and the Pit every few days but rarely read a thread there. When I do the threads turn into blah blah blah by about the fourth post. I don’t post much anymore and I somtimes go for days without except for maybe a glance. If the price went up even a little I would be out of here. I’m still waiting for my first score in the Death Pool so I can’t leave yet. Next year, who knows.

I think it was a couple months ago, I just checked and I’m good till 4/28/07.  
Sweet!

[/QUOTE]  
Yep, mainly for the “Cool Kid” factor. 🆒

And for my anal-retentivness - as I mentioned in another thread, I like how neat and clean this board is. No big flashing avatars, no 4-inch sigs with scrolling text and photos and animated smilies.  
And 98% of the members know how to spell and use proper English.  
And I agree with **CalMeacham** that ‘reuped’ sounds like something you’d do when you’re sick. I had a migraine last night and I reuped in the trash can by the bed. My husband was nice enough to clean it out for me.

Yep. And I’m not one of those low-rent $7.50 people, either. I’m a $14.95 man, which by my reckoning means my opinions have twice the weight. Of course, I don’t expect anyone to remember that, so I plan to double-post every time from now on.

Well?  
[/QUOTE]  
I’m not sure, but I’m leaning towards not renewing. I really don’t post all that much and days will go by without me getting a chance to read the Boards.

I do like having the ability to search, though. . .

Will you, alice\_in\_wonderland?

Of course. I pick up more than 2 cents a day off the ground, and I get more than 2 cents a day in free advice and entertainment here.

Already did. I really enjoy the different opinions and the spit-Diet Pepsi-on-my-monitor laughs.

I just re-upped now thanks to this thread. I haven’t used my AMEX card for about 6 months and thought I’d pull it out and make sure it works. There goes my zero balance. 😃
