I can understand changing your policies, but going back and counteracting sitelong perks just sends a bad message. People donated to help your site, and in return they were offered perks that would be used until the site closed down. To go back and revoke those "lifetime" perks is simply rude to the people to helped support you near the beginning. With my premium subscription that was given to me after the change running out, I'm not in a position to donate again. I lack the basic perks such as autobump that I have used on your site for over a year.

I honestly feel like with the more people losing their subscriptions, the more people will be in the same boat as me. Changes happen, but to ♥♥♥♥ over the people who helped you stay alive sends the complete wrong message
