Maybe I just didn't find the answer, but what about those of us with subscriptions running far off into the future? Mine runs out October 2011...
If I go for a new 3 dollar/month deal now will that mean I get billed from November 2011? And how does that impact the 1000 before new year?
I understand that you cannot simply convert existing CS-accounts but how many of us "old friends" are around, and how do we figure into the "support the site with a stable income" plans? I assume others than me with long running CSAs would like to help keep the place running

You can always donate $3 a month until your CS runs out - actually, it was a joke, but now that I think of it, I might do just that, since my CS runs at least a year or so, and I want to help Russ buy vodka be able to keep this site.

I like that, but it's a bit much to remember (since paying with automated banking from Norway is donating much more to the banks than to Russ) so a monthly charge on my credit card is much better (since I don't have any extra charges on such charges.)
With the current state of the Norwegian Krone and the US Dollar paying in dollars will soon be free anyway
Maybe Russ should consider getting paid in Euros since the GB Pound isn't looking too well either. (The advantage of the pound is of course that you can get a decent pint of lager or cider for that, which the Euro won't get you).

An interesting question. My subscription expires at the end of October 2013...

I'm afraid not. The yearly payment has been phased out in favour of the new, smaller payments. One thing which is vital for cash flow is the ability to project an accurate monthly revenue, which yearly subscriptions make pretty much impossible.
I'm guessing the target thermometer at the top of the site is updated manually? As it's not gone up for a while and I understand from Twitter that Morrus' computer is currently languishing in a PC World repair garage!

Correct!
I got the computer back today and am slowly catching up with things.
How does one add those "Support Enworld" signature things again? I figure since I won't be able to pay for CSA that I can carry one of those to encourage people to do it. Though, that may make me look like a hypocrit.

Well, I tried to subscribe via PayPal, unfortunately they require me to register a credit card?! WT? My DDI sub works just fine without one, and I'm not going to get a CC, ever. That's a deal-breaker for me.
Also, the conversion rate seems pretty off. 3$ = 2.50€?? More like 2€. Is there some 25% EU tax scheme I'm not aware of? Wouldn't surprise me at all.

PayPal doesn't require you to register a credit card to my knowledge. I've never attached my credit card to my PayPal account.

You could just select the dollar option, and that'll give you today's exchange rate.

Normally, you're getting a choice between credit card and a regular bank account - unless your bank isn't participating.
But since it worked for your DDI sub, that cannot be the problem.
AFAIK you only are required to link a CC if you want to have a "Verified PayPal Account". Sometimes this is a requirement for some online transactions via Paypal and I know that some Ebay sellers request it if the item in question has a high value (i.e. D&D woodies)

- Basically PayPal tells me I need a CC because it's an "immediate payment".
- There's enough money on my PayPal account to buy a one-month ENWorld sub (about 4$).
- PayPal's help doesn't help. (There's no mention of CC's being required for immediate payments.)
What I'm going to try next is to transfer money from my bank to PayPal. I wanted to buy some One Bad Egg pdfs anyway, and buying through ENWorld's pdf store will help you guys, too.
I suspect it hasn't worked so far because it's a recurring sub and there's only enough money for 1 month on my account. Alternatively, there might be some hidden fees or taxes PayPal don't tell me about so I'd have a negative balance after the transaction.
@Jupp: My PayPal account has been verified years ago (via my bank account), so this shouldn't be an issue.
Anyway, thanks for your help, guys.

Nah - the fees come out of my end of it. For you it's the $3 only.
I can confirm that it will only take $3 out. No hidden fees.

If I recall correctly, linking to your checking account makes your PayPal account "Verified," and linking to a credit card makes your PayPal account have a "Confirmed" address, which some eBay sellers require.
