I was going to resub on the 20th (payday!), forgot and now lost my Charter Membership, etc.

On the plus side, knowing I can’t ever get it back really removes the question of whether or not to pay 😃

Wow. Am surprised, did not realize how fragile this club was about collecting its dues.

Miss your payment? Okay, buddy/buddette. You’re out.  
How can this board so cater to democrats and liberals?! I mean, this is so obviously such a republican stance.

Democrat “Charters” being toyed. Amused by mods and admins w/marionette strings.

Well, they warned me and all so I don’t blame them. I just don’t have any incentive to pay now that it’ll cost twice as much and won’t restore the title anyway.

Seven bucks? I gladly pay more than that so TIVO can let me skip ads; And the TV isn’t nearly as interesting as ya’ll. 7 bucks to avoid the ads here is a bargain.

I just paid last night, so I guess I’ll see if I’m still a Charter Member after I hit ‘submit’.
