I love this site! I've had my busy times where I can go months (one point even year) without logging in... Or touching my maverick for that matter. The people are very open and supportive. It doesn't matter what the question or issue is it's never dumb and always answered respectfully. Wish we had more members from my neck of the woods so we could meet up more... Maybe one day!
There is always a chance to donate at Christmas and part of the renewal goes to a charity that Stefan chooses. I always renew at that time. A big reminder thread goes out about three weeks ahead of time. Been doing that for about 10 years now.
Yes, when the supporting member graphic was clicked, it took you to the renewal page. The reminder feature was introduced in a newer version of this forum software, which I need to upgrade to.
