> [@Malthus](#): > > I’m in. And I hope the admins spend some of this cash on upgrading the board if technically possible … But if they do that, more people will join, and the boards will slow down again. Really, no matter what you do, you’ll always end up back in the same situation. You can’t fight the equilibrium, dude. ( 😛 ) ---

I’m in. And I hope to God that the 1 year period doesn’t start until the end of this 30-odd day grace period or else I pissed away a month. Hopefully, this will be answered as I read this thread… ---

There was no doubt that I’d be signing up. I can think if darn few things that have held my interest for 4 solid years. It’s good to see a lot of long time lurkers & even a few newbies signing up. ---

Another mostly-lurker subscribes. And I want to be the first to suggest (at least, I think I’m the first, I did a search) that all current Moderators change their titles (if it’ll fit the field) to **Charter Moderator**. I believe this will bring balance to the Force.
