Curiosity: How many of us still have "Charter" status?

[Reckless]

Awhile back it was mentioned that the number of charter ap subscribers was dropping each year. I'm kind of curious how many of us still have the Charter Status intact?

Will there be a Prize for the last one left?

[Scott Williams 16]

Still here.

Still got it.

[tumbler]

Got it.

[sanwah68]

And me

[Anguish]

Actually, for a moment last year it went up, once.

I was missing it all along, and an enterprising Paizo employee went out of her way to do some digging and discover I was legit. Pleasant surprise all around.

[ShadowChemosh]

Still here also.

[Mosaic]

Over here!

[Kvantum]

There's less than 1000 of us left AFAIK.

we need a protected status and habitat for those that are left

Redmond, WA sounds like a good place to put us up.

Got an extra thousand cots laying about?

I am not volunteering for the captivity breeding program. I heard some guy whose name rhymes with Ron Bathon is in charge, and lets Cosmo sub in on occasion.

[sowhereaminow]

I'm a technical charter. Does that count? Had an accidental subscription lapse early on which nixed status. Otherwise been here since the magazine days...

[Gerald]

Boom!

[Fayries]

Using Google and filtering some false positives, I'd say there are 514 AP Charter Subscribers at the moment.

But it could also be more than that because I suspect Google would only find Charter Subscribers that posted at least once on the messageboards.

[kevin bienhoff]

Still here, but almost checked out at one point. Have been with them since the beginning and HOPE to be here for sometime more!

[Dark Arioch]

I've never had a moments doubt. Still going strong. The great art and them constantly pushing the envelope will keep me around for a long time yet.

[Demiurge 1138]

And my axe!

[selunatic2397]

Still here!

[Michael Brock]

I'm still here. Lost my charter superscriber title when I traded it in for the purple golem next to my name ;-)

[Skeld]

Still here!

[Andrew Phillips]

Only 514 left? We are fading away.

[Weaponbreaker]

Should still be here...

Or maybe they just have no clue and stick some made up number on top of there search results to look cool and interesting. Because today, they say 522, but really are only listing 63 people.

It reminds me of all these articles you read in newspapers, assuming the author is distilling just pure knowledge, until you come across an article dealing with a topic where you're quite knowledgeable. And then you realize they just make stuff up.

I too have retained Charter status.

[ShinHakkaider]

I still do.

[RETH-Mog]

[Boerngrim]

I stand with Paizo.

[PbemDM]

Sometimes I don't see it.

EDIT: There it is!

Ooooh, and you have a Box. At one point that meant you subscribed to EVERYTHING. I never did the Planet Stories (no time), but I think they're gone now. Maybe I can get a Box now, too.

[Draco Bahamut]

Brazil is still here !

[Cpt_kirstov]

looks up yup, still got it

Yup. :D

[Chris Mortika]

Is there any way someone at Paizo could run a check and let us know?

[Stebehil]

Hmmmm....
Yes, still there.
Its almost ten years now that I first ordered a magazine subscription, back in those days...

There are less than 1000 and more than 500.

If I am still here, I will make sure they get a prize.

Your suspicions are correct. Of the Charter subscribers left, there are a not-insignificant number that do not interact with the community on paizo.com.

Well, kind of an exclusive club. I will probably keep that up for a long time to come.

[Cylerist]

[Zaister]

[Arazyr]

I still have mine, due to the kindness of the CS team. 8^)

[Snorter]

Still alive and kickin'.

[aatea]

Me too!

[Paz]

Still here; in for the long haul.

[Stockvillain]

Never gonna give you up, Paizo.
*cue music*

[Ross Byers]

I traded mine in for the Paizo badge, but I got it back when I left.

[Joey Virtue]

I got screwed out of mine cause i had Left over dungeon and dragons subscriptions that I rolled over to start them but I have been here since the start.
