It’s that time. My SDMB membership is up for renewal.
I’m not sure that I get the bang for the buck from the Dope any more. I don’t spend anywhere near as much time in here as I used to. I get the joy of being listed as a Charter Member, but big whoop on that.
Convince me that it’s worth coughing up the bucks for another year.
Half-price.
No ads. no risk of infection from the shady ad brokers/providers.
Ever shrinking pool of exclusivity.
Think of it this way: you’ll save a few bucks, and free up more time that you can spend on more important… wait, did you say talk you into renewing?
Someone’s got to pay to keep this place going, and it ain’t going to be me.
The membership for a year is about the cost of a meal at McDonalds. Surely you get more enjoyment than THAT out of this place!
(Yeah, I know, don’t call you Shirley.)
It’s one of the best values I can think of. A year’s enjoyment for 2 gallons of gas.

Judgment Day is the 21st. What’s the point in renewing? 
OMG, I just renewed because my subscription was ending on the 21st. If the world ends, I want my money back.
Seriously, how can you find a better bunch of people with whom to whittle away the hours?
You’d get to stay in the exclusive club that has me in it!
what, not enticing enough? Damn.
Who ya gonna yell at for being liberal jerks if you leave the board?
I would miss you. I don’t know if that’s worth $7 or not, but thought I’d throw it out there for your consideration.
I’ve found that this place goes through cycles. Sometimes I’m posting a lot and reading a lot; other times, it’s just skimming. The up parts of the cycle are well worth the “meh” part of the cycle.
You get to hang out with Opal.
New election cycle coming up.
Okay, guys, you talked me into it.
Thanks for the responses.
All right, Cecil, you got my seven clams and change for another year. Don’t waste it all on hookers and blow, buy some vitamins for the damn hamsters!
Thanks alot, 'Hump!
Now I don’t get a chance to suck up to Cecil, begging you to pay up, already.
Okay, fine!
This year, thanks to the strength of the Canadian dollar, I actually paid less than the advertised price! $7.33 was charged to my credit card! That was fun.
Hey, you’ve been here a l-o-o-o-n-g time. You remember when those hamsters were starving. They’re on steroids now compared to the bad old days. You no longer have time to go bake a cake while waiting for your post to show up.
Glad to have you back.
Down side: I now eat less cake. I like cake.
When come back, bring pie.
Sorry, couldn’t let that one slip past!
Glad ya stayed with us! I debated it too but decided in the end this is the best entertainment for the dollar value I have ever received. Plus, cake and pie!
Oh, yeah, that’s right - I was going to brag about that, too, and I forgot! (I think mine was only $7.46 - picked the wrong day.)
