when somebody has been inactive on the site for a prolonged period of time

turn off the premie subscription thats fucking bullshit i saw somebody who hasnt been active since 2013, still a premie, youve charged them 7 years for no service, maybe it doesnt matter to much to them

but it still makes you a scummy thief, taking money for subscription unused, and still wont upgrade the site for the people that are here

scummy BW...scummy

I dont think that makes the site scummy, thats 100% on the person who never cancelled their own subscription

I agree that subscriptions suck. That being said, I don't believe it is all BS's fault and or his responsibility. That is why businesses love subscriptions. You sign up for them and then forget about them or didn't realize you signed up for a subscription. Did you send a PM to BW? Maybe he would cancel it if he knew about it.

interesting, because subscriptions were not part of the site back in 2013

Maybe someone prepaid for multiple years

You know, thinking about it now, it's possible that the person was a member of Team CC if it goes back as far as 2013. Now we get a small amount of credits at a time, but back then we used to get a full year's sub in one go. If they were doing a lot of work for CC, they might have a whole ton of credits given for various things and just activated the whole lot.

We'd have to know which account it was, but that's my best guess.

I think we all need to demand that riskllama be allowed back into global chat.

I disagree entirely. If someone decided to subscribe to Conquerclub Premium, they are responsible to cancel it. If they're unable to identify and deny a charge on a card for a site they haven't used in years, it's really their own fault. BW isn't responsible for others actions, nor required to be their adult supervision.

Mapmakers got a year per map, and some of the more prolific mapmakers did 20 or 30 of them. Natty dread will still be premium when the rest of us are dead.

Lol, he hasn't played a game since 2012, but still has a gold name...:)

I would like a refund for all the times I have been banned. I do not pay to be banned! That makes no sense boys! No wonder nobody wants to play here. You take their money, and then you ban them! Give your damn heads a shake.

Violating a sites Terms of Service results in loss of payment; this isn't something unique to ConquerClub, it's a pretty common practice.

So, basically if we leave money out unattended it's our own fault when a kleptomaniac takes it?

If you subscribe to something, it's your job to unsubscribe.

That being said, this post was made about a player that still has premium after 7 years, but most debit and credit cards have an expiration of half that. It's likely this guy was gifted a lot of premium but quit the site before it ran out.

Do you ever wonder why all these elite people from years ago have left and want nothing to do with this website anymore? People who have spent tens of thousands of hours making maps and all the effort they put worth toward this website, and then they don't even care enough to turn off their auto-subscription as if they knew for a fact they were never ever coming back, like they were done. And it wasn't just a few of them, like ALL of them are gone.

Boredom, mainly.

I used to put in hundreds of hours a month running tournaments. There was a time when I had 30 tournaments at a time running. I just got sick of it one day and stopped doing it. Right now I have one tournament on the go, and although it seemed like a great idea at the time, now I'm struggling to care enough to check on it regularly.

I know people have all kinds of theories about this killed CC, or that killed CC, or the other thing killed CC. Everybody's got their pet theory. Too many server crashes, banning farming, the end of the double turn, autotournaments, the Panel Interface, too much censorship in the forums, not enough censorship in the forums, infighting, not enabling Transitions, being too late to take advantage of social media, blah, blah, blah, blaah blaaaaah. While any or all of those things may have pissed off some people, and a few of those people were pissed off enough to leave, in the end the simple explanation of why most people leave is just boredom. In the end, doing the same thing over and over again just gets tedious.

You can always ban me when you are bored. I prefer to be banned.

Subscriptions used to be something with a term.

You would pay a set amount then you would get a product in the future. Typically printed matter.

Somehow you think it's fine for a business to take out a subscription with you for future payments. Instead of a customer getting a magazine for a set amount of issues, the business gets a recurring bank transfer until the customer cancels.

That might not even be obscene if there was a clear choice between it and an honest single year premium purchase.

It was started there. I didn't even notice it moved. The suggestion forum is not very effective.
