What happens if I cancel my membership for a while?

I have been a paying member of CGC since 2015 but unfortunately due to costly house extension plans , I need to cancel my membership for a while. However , I still want to grade exercises , be active here in the forum and post gallery pictures. Will I lose any of these privileges If I downgrade to a free membership for a while?

    Hi Frikkr,

    Congrats on the bigger house! Yay!

    But it does suck how these things cost them dollars. Boo!!


    I don't think you will lose those privileges but let me just ask someone who actually knows how it works and I'll get back to you.

    if you can't stick around somehow, I'll miss you as one of the old heads around here!!

    it'll be good if you can still hang out and such...

    I understand the rest

    Thanks guys! Yeah @waylow , the work to the house will be expensive , but we don't have much of a choice now we have twin girls that will need a room each in the next few years! 

    me1958424  , don't worry,  I wont be going anywhere , I'll still be here as much as I ever am , but I just need to save the pennies sono learning for a few months :( 

    @wesburke , thanks! , I feel terrible killing a poor butterfly but he's gonna have to pay the price i'm afraid. Will I lose my portfolio that I've built up over the years? Also , what about followers?

    It's funny how those little humans get bigger.

    We are moving into a bigger place next week because someone selected our kid and scaled him up! hehe


    Keep an eye on your email Matthew, we're trying to organise something for you.

    Good luck with the move Wayne, hope it all goes smoothly. No problem , I'll keep an eye out :)

    Just realised @waylow , I'm not sure if my email that is registered with CG Cookie is an old one that I deleted , and I can't see a way to check or change it in my profile settings?

    I can honestly say I am impressed to see such a response from the CGCookie crew to frikkr
    How many places will you see that the content creators wish a long-standing-member well and provide him/her support when life needs tending to (and stop paying for membership dues). Super cool!

    Just another reason I enjoy being a member of The Cookie.

  • Matthew Fricker(frikkr) replied

    Yeah I agree blanchsb , it is such a great place with awesome tutors and an amazing community. I have always loved being a part of CGC! 

    @wesburke , David got my email sorted out for me , thanks!
