I was just over at LP and had to set them straight there. There were saying that all the monthly donators had abandoned the forum because only $1,500 out of $18,000 in monthlies had renewed or something like that. So I told them that the reason this was so was that we were TOLD by Free Republic not to renew until the 20th of October because our September payments were already processed.
I think it was a very considerate thing for Free Republic to tell us monthly donators to hold off on renewing under the new system so that we didn't make a double payment.
