Thank you.

I recently cancelled all my other subscriptions. There are two things that will get me back.
1) As I have said many times before, there are times when I have a lot of extra money (like May) and times that I do not (like September). Allowing a method for me to 'pay ahead' directly to you in some form would allow me to budget for the 'lean times'. This would also allow all my family and friends who want to buy me a gift to contribute to the 'Paizo gaming fund'. My cancellation of the AP subscription was due to the fact that I have $5000 in debt on my credit card, and while I have another $10,000 available credit, I don't like carrying a balance. So, until I get that paid off in January/February, I'm not going to be buying anything gaming related.
2) I am really interested in Pathfinder. I feel 'disenfranchised'. Part of it is there are a lot of 'loud' posters, some with good ideas and many with bad ideas. I don't want to have to shout over them to be heard. I don't even care if my ideas get heard for the most part - but when something is changed I want to see the designers point of view. Well, there are a couple changes that I want to see made that haven't been considered (but I know those were heard). So, I'm a little worried when a 'good idea' isn't getting any playtesting. In this case I say 'good idea' to mean one that has seen extensive play testing in the home games of 10+ posters and been beneficial.
Please keep that in mind.

Offering gift certificates is on our to-do list, but it's not terribly high, and the interaction between subscriptions and gift certificates is probably going to be a bit tricky; it's possible that gift certificates won't be usable for subscriptions.
Have you considered putting that money into a prepaid credit card?

I'm assuming you're talking about the Pathfinder RPG playtest forums here. I'd like to make it clear that Jason and the rest of our crew are not simply listening to the loudest posters there. We certainly have some people who seem to think that if they "win" an argument there, changes will be made in their favor, but that's really, really not true. Similarly, if we see good ideas that nobody's talking about much, that doesn't mean they're necessarily going unnoticed by the staff. Hopefully this will become more clear to everyone as we start letting you know about changes that are being made.
Also, I hope that you'll at least be sticking around the other forums...

I do plan on sticking around and watching the design forums. I'm really looking for a reason to come back. But I want to be careful about my subscription dollars. I want to give them to you because I want you to be making the product I want to buy. I'm really worried that isn't the case.
The 'example issue' that took me from charter superscriber to no subscriptions was the number of skill points for fighters. There are a lot of people that have tried 4+Int in their home games and found it superior. This is particularly true in Pathfinder when most classes benefit from combined skills, but the fighter doesn't. Jason Buhlman (bless his soul) has so much to work on, but he said that he thinks that adding 2 skill points to the fighter is 'breaking backward compatability'. Now, I don't know about you, but with all the other changes, I don't think that is a major concern. Since that is one change that has seen extensive playtesting and is less radical than giving every class at least a d6 for HD, I really want to understand the 'why'. If I don't know the why, I'm going to have to assume it is because the idea hasn't received proper consideration. And if the ideas that are important to me aren't getting considered, how can the Pathfinder RPG be the game I want it to be?
I plan on keeping an eye on it. But when I am optimistic, I subscribe to everything. When I am not, I don't. I want to be optimistic. And if I am optimisitic in December, I'll subscribe to everything again and pick up everything I missed in the meantime.
