If not .... what is going to happen?

Good luck! My CS runs out at the end of October, so I cannot subscribe until then, so that is at least 1 more.

237 now. So we'll close out the month at about 250. At that rate, 1000 will be hit by the end of January, assuming the rate keeps up (although I assume it'll continue to slow).

There are about 50 people like yourself also due to come off old year subs before Christmas. Hopefully they will all re-subscribe on the monthly plan.

Just signed up. Worth the price of a cup of coffee a month. Thanks Morrus.

Now: How do I get rid of those ads?

You mean because you still have one of the older (yearly) ones?

They would both work at the same time. So you'd effectively have two separate different subscriptions, but since they both do exactly the same thing you wouldn't perceive a difference. When one expired, the other would continue until expiry (or, in the case of the monthly, cancellation).

If you go to your account page (click "My Account" at the left hand end of the navbar), then go to "Edit Options", there are some options near the bottom, including:
  • Disable Column Ad
  • Disable Header Ad
  • Disable Sidebar

I re-upped my CS account for a year in August. Am I being counted towards the 1,000 goal? If not, is it possible to refund me the 5/6th-ish amount left from my annual sub, and I'll sign on as a monthly subscriber?

Not sure how many others are in the same situation I am, but there are likely a few of us who've already tossed money at the site, and would be happy to switch to your newly-preferred monthly method if that helps you with the math.

No, it's not. Yours will expire next August, at whch point you'll be able to sign up for the monthly sub.

Heh - I don't have the funds to do that, unfortunately! I spend the subsription payments on server hosting and the like!

That's fine, I'll just re-up monthly in August. Just thought I'd ask.

Morrus, can you accept payment apart from PayPal?

I can't; sorry. Maybe when (if) we grow a bit larger we might be able to afford our own credit card transaction service and merchant bank account and stuff, but for now we're reliant on PayPal.

My log in says my rep power is one, but the news post says it should be 3. What's the truth? I'm being gypped out of rep power! I demand satisfaction!

If you send me a PM with where you want me to send it & who to make it out to, I'll send you a personal cheque to cover 1 year. When it clears, you can change my status.

I've very deliberately deactivated the one-year accounts!

Plus it would presumably be a foreign (USD? CAN?) cheque which would cost almost as much as the value of the cheque to deposit.

What's the PayPal objection, may I ask?

Mostly laziness (he admits bashfully). It's been so long since I've used PayPal that I'd have to redo all my banking information.

No worries, though. PayPal it is. Expect me to re-up by the end of next week.
