Sorry to be so late getting the site news out, but man what a busy month! Just a few quick items.

Renewals
If your site supporter status is up for renewal this quarter you should have a private message from me with the date your status expires. If you don't have a PM reminding you then you are not up for renewal. Thanks to all of you for your support!

Abuse of Site Supporter Renewals
Due to abuse of our "not pushy" renewals I have had to institute a 30 day rule that if you have not renewed within 30 days of your renewal date your account will be downgraded to "Basic Member" status. Everyone gets a reminder Private Message here on the site when their status is up for renewal. However, some have been abusing our leniency and have gone well over 1/2 a year without renewing yet still taking advantage of the site supporter benefits. This has stopped this quarter. I have downgraded 164 site supporters to "Basic Member" status because they were more than 30 days overdue and have received at LEAST one notice (most had received two or three). And then have some turn around and bless me out in emails because of it, truly amazing. Sorry to have to implement this but apparently some folks like to ruin it for everyone.

Summer Supporter Drawing
Be sure and check out our Summer Supporter drawing on the home page and at the top of each forum. You must be a current site supporter to qualify for this drawing. That's all it takes! Be sure and check it out. If you are not a Site Supporter you need to become one before the drawing on the 29th of this month!

Site News / RCSB Show
For those that don't know, it might benefit you to subscribe to these FORUMS (Site News and RCSCALEBUILDER Show) so you can receive notices when information needs to get out to you. Less than 10% of the members here read the site news even though it has important info for everyone. You can subscribe to these forums by navigating to them and then click the "Subscribe" link at teh bottom of the forum page.

That's all for this month... Hope you all have a great July!
