I payed for a year round membership (gold) on 18/8/2008 and then after a while stopped playing chess. Now i want to restart again, but it seems that im not a member anymore. :( Was my membership only from 18/8/08 - 1/1/2009? In which case I payed 30 dollars for 3 months? WTF?! Need some help here please - erik :D

You are still a member but not a gold member as your gold membership ran out after the year your paid for,which to me is quite obvious.

Surely the year would run out on 18/08/09, since it's 30/06/09 today there should be about 6 weeks left of the gold membership? Did you cancel your gold membership when you stopped playing?

:/ dunno. I think Erik made me a member gain =) Thanks.
