Some interesting thoughts and ideas in this thread

How did all this work out?


I have few questions

How to let users expire at the end of each month like ISP instead of a 
month after the account is created or used?
Could there be a checkbox on USERs page thats used to do bulk renewal or 
locking or updating on a whole.

i want to do monthly recurring users but if they not updated on some issues 
they shouldnt roll over to next month.
