You might get lucky, the cutoff for the drop to 400L was July 21.

one last question for the 64,000L prize...

Is it true if you've never been premium that will still apply if you start now?

eta that I forgot my manners...

NOTE:
the knowledge base actually states that WHEN you go premium is when it counts... so I'd consider the current loophole (creation date before, never went premium till now) a bug that might get fixed at any time. It's possible they left that to fill the original contract obligations, and just don't advertise it, but with being able to modify the TOS at will, they could easily eliminate that clause, and force it down to the current levels.

The bonus to sign up for premium was actually 2500 Lindens and 500 Lindens a week stipend back in early 2006. I went premium with my first account in October, 2005. I got the 2500 plus "first land" at $L1 per meter for 512. That put nearly 2000 in my pocket plus the 500 a week.........pretty good deal back then.

It is also possible that you don't really know what their intent is by leaving it this way. They might leave it this way for a completely different reason and not consider it a bug, but perhaps a documentation error.
After all they say a lot of things in the knowledge base that are at best misleading or at worst completely wrong and have been for years.

If a person thinks it is a risk, pay monthly, then they can stop anytime.

which is why I submitted an alternative reason for why it works in the current state...

the warning is valid regardless, LL may change their mind at any point and people should be aware of that.

so glad you agree... but since we aren't talking about "anything else" why are you arguing with something you admit is true?

note to self, no good deed goes unpunished

Just unsure why you felt it needed a specific warning when this lack of surety goes for everything about the service. So again I fail to see what value your replies to my post in this thread have added or what relevance a clearly incorrect knowledge base article have.

Good deed? All I see is you taking issue with what I said originally to another person, again.
