What's the purpose of keeping it to 1 month only and not "must be a member during that month"?
Um, I'm not quite sure I see a significant distinction between the two. |

Think of it as incentive to not join for one month every year or two.
Excuse me? |

Ah, yes, that makes sense.
The function of the bonuses is, explicitly, to reward people who keep continuous memberships as opposed to those who "dip in" once in a while.

The distinction is that, having been a loyal member for a long time, I could go back to any bonuses I missed purely due to circumstance as opposed to the assumption that I wasn't a member that month.
Sorry for the poor wording.
My main point of the post though was finding out if there was any other way to get the content? Direct link to the artist or something? Been a member for a long time but I've missed quite a few bonuses purely due to circumstance, but would very much like to see the content. (In particular Sturk's)

We're working on upgrades to our content management system to allow for members who missed bonuses to go back and get them. For the moment, though, there's no facility for that.
We do announce each and every update in email when it comes out, and you can set a notification on the Bonuses board to get an email when a new one is posted.

I think he means that in its current form, the bonus scheme is an incentive to remain a member rather than take out intermittent one month memberships.
(Although I guess if you took out a one-month membership around the 27th of every other month, you'd probably be able to collect every bonus?)
You got it. Sorry I was unclear. |

Executes faster with the not. The vast majority of people are not members, so we can bypass a jump instruction most of the time.
Though I suppose this is the sort of thing Knuth was talking about when he called premature optimization evil.
