Why are we deprecating Annual Membership?

Why?  I think annual membership is important.

Shouldn't there be a process for making a change to this feature?

Fun fact.. out of 5776 membership accounts as of last week, 27 were annual memberships.

This means that annual memberships held exactly 0.4% 'importance' to the memberships options.

I cant believe I am one of those 27 hehe, so unlucky at first but considering future upgrade i am actually very lucky!

i was considering buying a lifetime membership, but then fees were slashed suddenly the present value of the membership collapsed. that's a great thing. our network/system gains huge value from minimal fees, more transactions, more use of our products than it does creating for-purchase methods to recoup fees ex post.

The cost to fix the issues surrounding  the annual memberships were not justifiable.. nor does the demand deem it a reasonable decision to pursue it... thus the depreciation.

It's good news really.. simplifies things.
