As meaning that my paypal was going to be dunned every year. That's what the words "subscription" and "recurring" imply to me. Why not just say "lifetime membership" ? I suppose this choice of words reflects the usage of vbulletin for other forums that do require annual payments.

The one-paragraph moderator FAQ doesn't mention blue stars -- might be a good addition.

Thanks!
