My sub here expires on 11-01-2007. At what time on the expiry date does it actually occur? 11:59:59? 00:00:01?

Actually it’s not that precise; it’s whenever the little script Jerry wrote kicks in, sweeps through the database, and turns all the expired Members into Guests. Could happen that day, maybe a day later, whenever.
