What happens if you don't renew?

You may have noticed the member expiry warning in the left column when you're logged in as a member. It's that time of the year, time to renew. Some of you may wonder what happens if you do not renew.

If your membership has expired, you get a 3 month grace period. After that grace period has ended, the site automatically strips you from your membership privileges; You will no longer have access to the member forums, your profile will no longer display most of your information (so you will no longer benefit from referals), and you will no longer be able to post gallery content to the site. Gallery content you posted previously will still be available on the site, but it will no longer be linked to your profile.

If at any time you decide to sign up again, all your privileges will be restored, and your personal profile and gallery will be there as if you never left us.
