So I just checked, and I joined in July 2009 for a one-time fee of, I want to say $11 (the price went up based on how many people signed up or something, I don't quite remember).
Over the years, I've paid for the archive feature, mostly as a way to continue to support Pinboard/Maciej -- even though I really don't ever use the archive feature.
I haven't received the email/the convert feature hasn't been flagged on my account yet, but if it is flagged, I'll be happy to convert. That said, if I do that, I almost certainly will not continue to pay for the archive feature, as I don't use that and just pay for it to support Maciej.
So my question is -- and I should probably just wait until I receive an email asking me to do this, but since we're having this discussion, I'll just ask now: Will you get more benefit from me paying $39 for archiving or is the hard cost of that service/the ~92GB of data I have greater than the $22 a year for a recurring sub? Because I'll do whatever option gives you the greatest income -- but I'm not quite prepared to pay $61 a year for bookmarking (not that an extra $22 a year means anything to me...it's just hard to justify paying about the same as I pay for my password manager for my whole family for a bookmarking service).
