[QUOTE=davenportavenger] Probably not. The boards are not as fast (either post count-wise or technologically) as they used to be, and a lot of long-time posters are leaving which will make it even more dead. But since I don’t have a time limit on when I have to re-up, I’ll probably still lurk and keep it an option for the future. [/QUOTE] Ditto. I’ll get around to subscribing again if I just have to post something eventually. If not, then I’ll just lurk. ---

Yep, even though I don’t post much I like being able to search. ---

I’m in for another year. I like it here. ---

I get lots more edumacation and entertainment and infotainment here than $7.48 worth. I’ve re-upped and I don’t see any reason why I won’t again next year. I don’t use the search function, ever, for any reason. I find it’s too slow and useless for my tastes. But the posting and the reading alone are worth it and then some and then some more for me. ---

Just re-signed a few moments ago. Firstly, this is the only place in the world where I can proudly carry the tag “Charter member”, and secondly I’m ignored here by a much higher average quality of person than most of the places where I’m ignored. ---

Two weeks ago. If I find another message board that is nearly as good as this one, I am out. Even if the other one is more expensive. I’ll keep my eyes peeled. ---

[QUOTE=Neurotik] 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. [/QUOTE] That’s not a lonely thought. Be well, my friend. You’ve been a marvelous contributor here. ---

Yeah, I bought a third year, but I’m still pissed off at how they refuse to give me back my “Charter Member” designation because I was a day late for the first renewal. ---

[QUOTE=Ogre] 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.

Did it about a week ago. With my upcoming surgery and stuff, I haven’t been spending so much time here lately, but at the half price rate, how could I _not_ re-subscribe? It guarantees I’ll still have my charter member status when other things settle down and I get more time here. ---

[QUOTE=fireman] Nope, nobody will miss me. [/QUOTE] Now that is one impressively low post count. You must have a will of iron! I’ve reupped, although I’m spending the next year or so homeless for adventurous purposes. So when I stumble upon the occasional internet cafe in the Amazon basin, I will browse the SDMB, catch up on [Casey and Andy](http://galactanet.com/comic/) and [Girl Genius Online](http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/), and email my loved ones to let them know I’m still alive. Probably in that order. ---

I re-upped last night even though I rarely post these days… I still get more than $7 worth of entertainment here, and I like the option of making an ass of myself via a poorly considered post should the opportunity present itself! 🙂 ---

Yep. I search the boards a lot; especially Cafe Society–I’m always so behind on movies and I like to read the discussions that happened five years ago when the movie was new. 😉 I never know when I’ll just **have** to post, so I have to keep my membership current and ready to go. ---

Just did it. Even though I’m not an avid poster, I like to have the option. Who am I kidding? I’m hopelessly addicted.
