Go to your User CP, Click “Subscriptions” (on the left side, under “Miscellaneous”), and you’ll see the details of when your paid sub started, and its expiry date.

Since the pay-for-subscription plan didn’t start until last March/April, and subscriptions are for 1 year, there aren’t going to be any due dates before then.

Still wonder if in March/April if there’ll be notices or if I’ll juts have to remember.

Also, if I forget and go past the deadline can I sign up and get my original moniker back?

You worry too much. 🙂

I would imagine that you will get some little reminder as you get close; remember, we haven’t done this yet, it’s new for us as well.

If you go over, for SURE you’ll get a reminder. However, we do not recycle user names. Your name is safe.
