I'd like to float the idea of moving you guys to subscription based renewals. The reason I'm suggesting this is that you guys had somewhat bad renewal rates last time, losing 4 people. That isn't awful, but I figured I'd give you guys a choice if you wanted to make the move.
The way it would work is that instead of reupping for 8 months at a time at $55, you would create an automatic subscription that will bill you $7 per month. You can cancel this at anytime. This is the about the same price you are paying currently.
You also have the option of just pre-paying as many months as you want in advance and then logging in and paying each time manually when your time expires.
Once we get up and running, replacement owners would pay $14 for the first 3 months then $7 monthly after that.
There are a few advantages to this system. The first is that once we are up and running, there won't be pause periods where you wait for Expansion owners to signup or the risk that the league will fold due to too few renewers. Also, there is a much lower initial cost for new owners which should make it easier to find replacements. And when you choose to leave the league, you can do so immediately and not wait out the term.
Let me know what you guys think. If people want to do it and there are no strong objections, I'd like to implement this in the league after Thanksgiving. Anyone that is already renewed for the next term would be credited for the appropriate time period.

The last season in your term was to be 2047. I calculate that to be around June 28th of 2012, so I have set everyone as valid until that date.
Sometime before June, go to Owner->Renewal to setup an automatic subscription or make a one-time payment.
Let me know if you have any questions.
