What about those of us who contributed less than a year ago and had contributing member status before the server took a crap?
To be completely accurate, the server didn't take a crap, the server absconded with Jeremy's money (along with the member contributions).
While the site was down, I managed (err) to find several managed.com's touted websites in Ca. and none of them would ping. They're all gone, unless like Jeremy, they paid another company to bring them back up, irregardless of the amount of money paid for their contracted time which managed failed to deliver.
Mental note to self: I need to do less bitching and moaning about the lost site and reopen my PayPal account (where the eff is that password) and start contributing!
