As far as I know “Re-Up” is military slang for re-enlisting for another term of service.  
I’m good on the Dope 'till 4/28/2007 and would like to add another year while I’ve got the money, but:

“You cannot renew your subscription at this time. Subscriptions can only be renewed if your subscription’s expiration is in the next 12 months.”  
From the subscriptions page.

No red star for me! ☹

I’m in for another year, even though I cancelled my AOL “service” last week and am thus temporarily without home Internet access while I shop around for a new ISP. Fortunately, I have ready access to the Purdue computer labs, although I have to remember not to click on the NSFW sites when I’m on campus.

Not yet. I’m really on the fence this time around. All the nakedly partisan politics and lack of new blood are starting to get to me. I’ll probably either cave at the last second or just kinda fade away.

Nope, and I’m probably not going to. I’m moving out of my parent’s house this summer, so I’m saving up every penny I have for that. When you’re in college, sometimes that $7.50 really does make a difference. So long, folks. It’s been swell.

Well…crap.

I’ll miss you. Or I’ll have to get in touch with you off-board or somethin’. I always enjoy your posts.

I’m in.

I figure I still get way more than my $7.50 worth of entertainment out of this board and several times since I joined I’ve gotten good advice, opinions and general information that has helped me tremendously.

I re-upped this week. I don’t post much anymore and Cafe Society doesn’t hold as much interest for me as it used to. So it’s iffy from year to year. But I can’t find the Valentine’s exchange, the level of intelligence, good spelling, etc. anywhere else, so … ya know.

I’d say probably not. There’s a lot happening IRL these days, and I need to cut back on my temptations to slack off. It was a pretty good run, though.

Thanks, **Telperien**. That’s very kind of you.

I hang around on the SDMB Livejournal group and my contact info is listed in my profile, so your are more than free to contact me after I go poof into the cosmos. And that goes for anybody who cares to contact me.

Will do.

I was just going to say that I knew you had a Livejournal, at least, and you’re on AIM as well.

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

I appreciate the sentiment and the thoughts. Unfortunately, it’s just time to move on for me - there are some things going on IRL that need some of the attention that I give to the SDMB.
