AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on whether contributors receive notifications for subscription renewals. A user questions the renewal process and recalls their subscription terms, which state that it automatically renews unless canceled. After canceling their subscription, they realized it also ended their contributor status. They later confirmed their expiration date through PayPal records and subsequently renewed their subscription. The conversation highlights the importance of tracking subscription statuses and renewal notifications.

Just a quick question. I can't remember when I became a contributor, but I suspect that it might be due to expire soon. Are we given notification for renewal?

Well, doesn't contributor status just come in 1yr and 6yr form?
 
Here's the e-mail I received when I subscribed:
Subscription Terms:
$25.00 USD for each year

Your subscription will automatically renew at the rates stated above unless you cancel prior to the end of the billing period.

I then canceled the subscription because I didn't want it to automatically renew, but I guess that canceled my current contributor status as well. I messaged Greg and he said that the subscription wouldn't renew itself at the end of the year, and put me on the list manually (I guess).

If you really wanted to know when you signed up you could check your paypal records.

It's on its way, Greg.

edit: Okay, I'm paid up again. :approve:

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
