Your Explorer membership died with January. To get green font and mailbox space back you need to buy a new pledge membership.

There was a heads up thread from the mods a few weeks ago. I noticed the yellow font disappeared recently. Renewal time is upon us.

isn't Mon or Jocke paying for us?

i think it would still be $20 if they didn't have all these legacy costs with mods who won't retire.

It's the mod pension plan that's driving up costs.

Same here. I sort of assumed that buying into the Explorer contest would make me a 2017 member as well?!

From the pledge thread...

"The 2016 Pledge Member categories will be removed on 31 January 2017, and members remaining in those member categories as at 1 February 2016 will revert back to the status of regular members with the rights and entitlements of regular members."

The watch draws have nothing to do with the pledge membership. Other than the fact you needed to be one (a pledge member), in order to buy into the draw, as it was for pledge members only...
That is all clearly stated by Steve-O in the pledge membership threads, and the draw threads when they are offered!

Kind of like how no one (a few), read the part where Steve states (in bold) to make sure to add a username in the body of payment......
I wonder who actually reads Post # 1 of those threads?

For those who don't know.

Pledge Membership runs from Feb 1st, to Jan 31st.

I'm still trying to get my first stipend from 5 years back!
