I have like about 25, 26, or 27 days intill my BYOND membership expires. Wanted to renew it tomarrow before I spend all my money on a game I was wondering, when I renew will the extra days I still have on me be added to the 365 days or will the other extra days be removed and I only have 365 days?

They will add on to the existing time you have on your membership.

The first case is what will happen. The clock doesn't simply reset to X days--time is always added to it during a renewal. Lummox JR | |
As a general note to everyone, you're very lucky that BYOND does this: BYOND is actually quite generous in this department. Many annual services do reset the clock at 365 days when payment is remitted (my automobile insurance, for instance). Also particularly nasty are the services which reset the clock at 12 months exactly, where a month is defined as 30 days -- so you lose five and a quarter days a year.

Any scheme that erases time you already paid for is cheating you. Expiration should never ever be X days from the day of renewal, but X more days from the previous expiration date. They can use all the fine print they want to justify it, but in the end the expected transaction is X days for Y dollars. I think if I ever catch any service pulling that crap on me, I'll have a little chat with the BBB and the Attorney General's office.
