Auto expire Subscribers (was) broke


Recommended Posts

Thanks to reports from subscriber/members we found out that the auto-expire service for subscriptions was broke and not expiring accounts that had expired between 15th of January and today.

It was 35 accounts!

Redmak has run a tool to expire those accounts that have in some cases enjoyed almost an extra 2 and a half months of subscription at our expense ;)

So if you found yourself back in Registered today, this is why.

Again thanks everyone for your continued support to Neowin and we hope to see you don the orange badge again soon!

Thanks for the reminder. Re-Subbed to Tier 2 now that I can. I did try to sub to Tier 2 when I had Tier 1 but my PM's to staff were never answered. Shame because you would have got money from me much earlier than today! :blush:

Maybe you PM'd the wrong person ;) Nice to see you back in the mix tho Vice! (Y)

I PM'd Redmak. Like you told us to do in the post about Subscriber2 when it first came out. You said PM him and he would tell us how to do it. I PM'd him and got no reply.

Quote you:

Guys, anyone wanting to upgrade to the No Ad subscriber group whilst already on a current subscription can do so manually by requesting it to Redmak.

Please do not attempt to buy the new package while you already have an active subscription

My Sub has been removed, even tho I just won one!

:(

My old tier 1 sub *did* expire but I did create a thread about it way before the winner thingy

https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/872800-expired-sub-not-expiring/

Edit: Sub is still listed as "Your current sub" in my control panel with the status "paid"

Not being funny, but i have been a subscriber for almost 3 years now and only paid once...

I did PM a few times to various mods etc over the years, but got no response.

Im not complaining, but thought i should let you know... Dont know what is so special about me :)

you are in the same boat as me back in the day, I subbed in 2004 and never lost it but I was told there was an error in the DB and it was never corrected :laugh:

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
    • Turbo Pascal was my first real programming experience more than 30 years ago at university. I mostly taught myself from the included examples and help documentation, because the university only taught the basic syntax and philosophy of Pascal, without going deeply into Turbo Pascal’s advanced features. I still remember when I discovered that I could embed assembly language directly into Pascal code, call BIOS functions, manipulate screen memory, use mouse interrupts, and control peripherals from my programs. That opened huge doors for me. Programming back then felt really fun, direct, and close to the machine. What I loved about Pascal was its readability and the almost instant compile time. Turbo Pascal was an amazing environment, but unfortunately Turbo Pascal for Windows 3 did not feel like it fully carried that legacy forward. Later, Delphi got things back on the right track after the messy transition to TP for Windows. Sadly, Delphi suffered from years of uncertainty as it moved from Borland to CodeGear and then to Embarcadero. That instability made many developers lose confidence in it, even though Delphi itself remained a powerful and productive tool. I still work with Delphi from time to time, but I definitely miss the old days of Turbo Pascal.
    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
