I will if I can remember it, but it was years ago.
Oh, Eddy, could you e-mail me (I can’t see user profiles)? I’m thinking I might actually stay after Monday. I already blew all the money I have on concert tickets*, but after this one dude pays me the fiver he owes me since like last week I can send it over to you.
*I don’t care that I haven’t had lunch for the past week, Blue Oyster Cult, Peter Frampton, and Grand Funk Railroad are gonna be there, man.
Duffer, this is one stupid-assed rant. I’m a nice guy, prone to giving folks the benefit of the doubt, so I’m going to assume you were bored and/or drunk when you decided to pit the mods/admins for being nice people.
Asshole.
Lemme get this straight, duffer:
You had a username which you registered and used on this board, but you can’t remember what it was?
That sounds like Bullshit to me.
Oh man, I hope you didn’t just shoot yourself in the foot Duffer.
Weak rant - I say let 'em push it back all they want. Personally I think the free period shouldn’t end while the messageboard is still in beta and normal functionality like the quick reply doesn’t work.
Goddamnit, I was going to join today. Now I have to wait another 5 days.
Is your Charter Membership status somehow threatened by those who subscribe after the original deadline?
(Gee, sounds like the gay marriage debate reframed…)

I hope duffer doesn’t subscribe to any magazines. They’re always sending out resubscription offers telling you it’s your last chance to take advantage of their discount rates, when in fact you will have multiple opportunities to get significant savings off the newstand price. If extending the SDMB deadline generates a Pit thread, those things will leave him curled up on the floor in the fetal position.
And as a bonus, the SDMB doesn’t have all those annoying cards falling out of it all over the place whenver you open a thread.
Magazines, for the record, should have a “no freaking cards” rate – I’d pay a 30% or so premium to make those things go away.
[sub]Yet.[/sub]
Yet open is the question of whether the SDMB will send six or a dozen resubscription notices, and hide your expiration date in code so that you don’t know when it actually expires without digging out last year’s check register.
I’d pay a premium just to get one notice - about two months before my expiration - then I’d pay it and be done, or not pay it and be done. If I wish to keep my subscription, one notice is enough; if I don’t wish to keep my subscription, no amount of notices are enough.
(The cards make handy-dandy bookmarks. I’d miss 'em.)
Who gives a fuck?
Well, they only sent out one notice about subscriptions to begin with. Seems unlikely to me that they will pester you multiple times to renew it.
hmm it didn’t occur to me before, but now i realise why popups are so irritatingly familiar.
It was about 5 years ago. So let me ask you this.
Can you name every username you’ve used in 5 years on the following:
message boards, chat rooms, email accounts, rpg’s, MUD’s, multiple fantasy leagues, commercial entries (Coke, Mountain Dew etc code contests), newsletters, opinion polls, movie review sites, music review sites, ad nauseum.
RTM when you can remember every single one you can call bullshit.
Dude. I never thought I’d use this, but: you need to get out of the house more.
When I was a kid, denarii hadn’t been invented yet. We hadda fashion all our gold into torcs and bracers and such, and lug it around worn on our bodies.
Yes. Yes, I can.
